The Pride Counseling service is extraordinary. I have Kaiser and their psych department is garbage in terms of getting appointments with therapists and ongoing care— when I found BetterHelp and that they have an LGBT+ service I signed up and it has been life changing for me. I have a very hard time making and keeping appointments, but texting and showing up for a video call at home are a lot easier for me. My therapist is amazing and has given me so many tools and support over the years that have truly made a huge difference in my life. I know it looks expensive, but it can be made affordable for you if you apply for the financial aid (and they basically lower your rate almost immediately when you ask for it with the little application online.. not sure if you can do it in the app though). I’m paying $99/month for unlimited messaging with my therapist and she always replies within a day if not within a few hours, and then every video session that’s scheduled like an appointment is an extra $35 for that one session. It’s well worth every penny. I don’t see myself ever changing my therapy source if I can help it at all. They are truly doing extraordinary work.

I’ve been to a lot of therapy in my life cause I’m all messed up. I’ve done group therapy, one on one, art therapy, equine therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy...I did intensive therapy in eating disorder treatment. I didn’t think this would be a good platform for me as group therapy and one on one do work well. I thought this would be as useful as using a journal which I’ve personally never found helpful. Turns out just the fact that I know someone is reading what I write makes keeping a journal easy. Also if something happens right now I can immediately write what’s bothering me, even if the therapist won’t get back for a bit. This way I feel like the therapist can get a better idea since when I meet with an in person therapist once a week there is always stiff I forget. Anyways so far so good. Also don’t be afraid to request new therapists if the one you are paired with isn’t working. Their feelings won’t be hurt and you’ll get the support you need. Cheers!

Truly life changing, and WELL worth the money. I was skeptical about how much therapy could help me, and even more skeptical about this web based platform, but all I can say is that I am so happy I took the plunge and got it. My therapist/counselor is amazing; she helped me just get in the right mindset with working towards change in my life, and always listened with such attention and care. I’ve learned so many practical, actionable things I can do every single day to change my mind frame (this is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and it’s worked wonders so far. At the very least I UNDERSTAND myself so much more, and can finally appreciate myself and then begin to help myself move towards a healthier me. It’s nice knowing you have someone in your corner, but in your pocket instead haha. If you’ve been thinking about getting therapy for ANYTHING (right now currently working on a self esteem thing I’ve been half heartedly working on since childhood) I’d suggest giving it a go. It’ll only help!
