I believe better help is a good alternative if you can't find a therapist in your city or home town. Therapy alone is expensive and I just needed support when leaving a 8 year relationship or how to communicate I definitely got the answers I was looking for. Unfortunately therapy isn't cheap. But with better help I was able afford a therapist for a month in order to get the answers I was looking for. My therapist definitely listened to my concerns and helped my self esteem.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Errick has been an amazing therapist for me lately. In just one month we have made some big progress in my mental health. I found out a lot about myself already by working with E, and he has taught me to really reflect on why I am feeling how I feel. He has given me homework and exercise to work through between sessions so I can better myself. I am working through a lot personally but he never makes me feel bad for not getting everything done. I try my best to show up for myself and E every week and he is always so genuine and caring. I look forward to my talks with E each time!

This is the first time I have tried therapy and it's been helpful since day one. I have a lot of unspoken words that I keep to myself so having a professional to talk to makes it a much more helpful setting for me to work on my negative self-talk. I will continue to work on bettering myself, and I'm glad I was matched with the right person to help me through it.
