I would have to agree with this. When using services like BetterHelp, it has always felt super transactional. Like a drive-thru experience, but therapy.
If you're going to be spending out of pocket for anything, at least try getting help through in-network therapists. There are so many fantastic mental health practitioners who are amazing that do not subscribe themselves to online platforms like BetterHelp.
What's better? By spending less out of your pocket, you can see them on a more frequent basis.
- germinalphrase 4y agoI'll add one more thing: prior to the pandemic, it was often hard to get insurance to cover telehealth therapy. Now, it is common practice. Many therapists working in clinics or private practice do a hybrid model allowing clients to visit in-person or via Zoom/etc. The cost of therapy is covered by an increasing number of insurance plans, so it's worth doing a few minutes of research/phone calling before paying out of pocket.
