I chose BetterHelp after my mom passed…
I chose BetterHelp after my mom passed away and not one, not two, but all three therapists I tried actually failed to show up for scheduled appointments. The third one started strong, but ended up bailing on our 4th session and then gaslit me and the platform, saying that I didn’t show up, and charging me a no-show fee. It was so traumatic, especially on the heels of losing my mom and navigating grief. It took me a year from that experience to feel brave enough to try therapy again. This time I’m with a private practice and it’s going so much better. I will never use a platform like this again, and will never recommend it either. Better Help might be worse than no help in my experience.
