my session over a month and after that the faith aspect which is obviously actually essential to me because you don’t want to advise somebody to something and then you know perhaps they they verify something or they state something that your church doesn’t believe in which could be the spectrum obviously therefore first of all on cost it was 320 for a month 80 bucks a week which include a weekly video session and limitless messaging which you understand what does that indicate it just suggests a couple messages with your counselor but i was impressed that the rate was okay you know i’ve done therapy in the past and it can be really pricey especially if you’re getting someone who is good at what they have actually done i’ve both done it when i remained in seminary i needed to go through some therapy a part of my program and it was just sufficiently 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 respectable organization a place that was well known released the the couple with the released uh authors and it was 80 bucks with a pastoral discount so that simply sort of leads you to believe what you understand the complete cost is quite costly and so uh 320 dollars is not bad specifically and we’ll discuss this on the tech side the assistance was great you understand in the past when i’ve done therapy in both group or you know individually you’re generally not engaging with your trainer constantly it’s generally 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 therapist was pretty good at checking 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 if that was not um if it was too much they asked your financial scenario so you can get approved for less i didn’t go through that process also talk to your insurance provider if you have it to discover if you qualify but the rates i felt specifically for the um the competence of my counselor i was very amazed what i got for the 320 and so um and then they give you different alternatives when you cancel where you can sort of try it for an additional set of time if you want to if you want to continue on they do charge you regular monthly and so you need to pay for a month of ahead of time therefore that makes sense but i i believe it i was really pleased by the rate it’s still a lot of cash i know for a lot of people um you understand someone like me i do not use therapy weekly and even every year but i do i have found i enjoy the point of view
um every 5 years approximately or if something’s going on that i can’t process especially because of some youth uh such things that happen in my youth i there’s constantly something i’m learning about myself however i have actually constantly enjoyed it so pricing respectable second the algorithm of really advising they go through an entire procedure where they ask you a series of concerns prior to you ever visited you understand mail age what you’re looking for to get out of therapy they ask them like health and have you been depressed and stuff like that how are your sleeping habits some general questions that are all pretty standard um i and i thought the questions were solid um eventually they do get in we’ll discuss this in the face section they ask you like what your faith is and your
denomination and they were pretty good about asking some faith associated questions that i was really extremely satisfied 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 an individual because that is essential to me and crucial to a great deal of individuals um they practically took that it took anywhere but they state 24 to 2 days to kind of assign you to a therapist and uh i got designated pretty fast i believe it was within 24 hours got e-mail alerted it said here’s the person i saw an image a bio i might see their proficiency i might see other evaluations about them and then it was kind of like shot attempt them out and i i and i might pick to have somebody else if i wished to and even when you stop they’re excellent at like asking a great deal of concerns around you know what you consider your accounts or how did that session did they appear i mean they’re they’re actually attempting to make certain everyone is strong and i could change my therapist at any time there was no issue with altering um my counselor was terrific about that too like you know was asking a lot of questions which is an odd balance since you desire a counselor that’s tough you but also um you know someone that you like that you can rely on so it’s a difficult relationship i’ve been pretty um benefit i’ve benefited from a great deal of excellent counseling so i think i have not truly been paired with someone that i didn’t agree however i was impressed by the algorithm the questions and how the whole experience worked next the technology whatever occurs through the website so it’s um it’s that you get notifications on text and e-mail and so forth however essentially you interact and satisfy through their web website so betterhelp.com you have an account and pretty much it begins a personal chat with the individual you’re counseling when you do change therapist that data goes away at least access from your end and but for example you arrange everything within the app you um you fulfill the video innovation it’s type of like a google hangout that’s constructed into the the real site and the video was great um my my my therapist had the video on it worked extremely smoothly um the Talkspace Competitors
