my session over a month and then the faith aspect which is obviously actually crucial to me since you don’t want to advise somebody to something and then you understand maybe they they affirm something or they say something that your church doesn’t believe in which could be the spectrum naturally therefore first of all on rate it was 320 for a month 80 bucks a week which include a weekly video session and unrestricted messaging which you understand what does that imply it just suggests a couple messages with your therapist but i was impressed that the price was okay you understand i’ve done counseling in the past and it can be extremely pricey specifically if you’re getting somebody who is proficient at what they’ve done i have actually both done it when i was in seminary i had to go through some therapy a part of my program and it was just properly priced done some other counseling and marital relationship counseling and i what sticks out to me on this was the marriage therapy we went to a pretty reputable institution a place that was well known released the the couple with the published uh authors and it was 80 bucks with a pastoral discount so that simply kind of leads you to think what you understand the complete rate is pretty costly and so uh 320 bucks is okay specifically and we’ll discuss this on the tech side the support was great you understand in the past when i have actually done counseling in both group or you know separately you’re generally not interacting with your instructor continually it’s usually simply around your sessions however to build a habit start digitally there’s something about more access to your counselor that i really liked and my counselor was pretty good at signing in on me and simply asking things throughout the week even when we were not meeting so there was a process for you to get a discount rate if that was not um if it was too much they asked your monetary scenario so you can receive less i didn’t go through that process also consult your insurance service provider if you have it to find out if you qualify but the rates i felt especially for the um the expertise of my therapist i was very satisfied what i got for the 320 and so um and then they give you different choices when you cancel where you can type of try it for an extra set of time if you wish to if you want to continue they do charge you monthly therefore you need to pay for a month of ahead of time therefore which makes sense but i i believe it i was really pleased by the cost it’s still a lot of money i know for a lot of people um you know someone like me i do not use counseling every week or perhaps every year however i do i have discovered i delight in the viewpoint
um every five years or so or if something’s going on that i can’t process specifically because of some childhood uh such things that take place in my youth i there’s always something i’m learning more about myself but i’ve constantly enjoyed it so pricing pretty good second the algorithm of in fact advising they go through an entire process where they ask you a series of concerns before you ever logged in you know mail age what you’re looking for to get out of therapy they ask them like health and have you been depressed and things like that how are your sleeping routines some general questions that are all quite basic um i and i believed the concerns were strong um eventually they do get in we’ll speak about this in the face area they ask you like what your faith is and your
denomination and they were respectable about asking some faith related concerns that i was in fact very pleased with i wasn’t expecting a lot on the faith location however i was impressed by how they engaged that part of who i am as a person since that is very important to me and important to a lot of people um they pretty much took that it took anywhere but they say 24 to 2 days to kind of assign you to a counselor and uh i got designated pretty quick i think it was within 24 hr got email notified it stated here’s the individual i saw an image a bio i might see their knowledge i could see other evaluations about them and after that it was sort of like try try them out and i i and i could choose to have someone else if i wished to and even when you quit they’re great at like asking a lot of questions around you understand what you think about your accounts or how did that session did they show up i imply they’re they’re actually attempting to ensure everyone is strong and i might alter my counselor at any time there was no problem with changing um my counselor was great about that too like you know was asking a great deal of questions which is a weird balance since you want a counselor that’s tough you but also um you understand somebody that you like that you can rely on so it’s a difficult relationship i have actually been pretty um benefit i have actually taken advantage of a great deal of excellent counseling so i believe i haven’t truly been paired with somebody that i didn’t agree but i was impressed by the algorithm the concerns and how the entire experience worked next the innovation everything takes place through the site so it’s um it’s that you get notices on text and e-mail and so forth but basically you connect and meet through their web website so betterhelp.com you have an account and pretty much it begins a private chat with the individual you’re counseling when you do change counselor that data goes away a minimum of access from your end and but for example you schedule whatever within the app you um you meet the video innovation it’s kind of like a google hangout that’s developed into the the real website and the video was fantastic um my my my counselor had the video on it worked really efficiently um the Adding A Profile Picture Betterhelp
