Do you have to pay for BetterHelp every week?
Betterhelp offers a range of prices from $60 to $90 per week and this is billed every 4 weeks. It is based on your location, preferences and theraist availablity. Membership can be cancelled at any time. That said, when you compare the closest plans, BetterHelp is significantly cheaper at $80 per week than Talkspace at $129 per week (note that BetterHelp’s sessions range between 30 and 45 minutes long, while Talkspace’s are exactly 45 minutes long). You can cancel your membership at any time, for any reason. Can BetterHelp substitute for traditional face-to-face therapy? The professionals who work through BetterHelp are licensed and credentialed therapists who were certified by their state’s board to provide therapy. The BetterHelp platform does not charge immediately. You will not be charged for services until you are matched with a licensed mental health professional with whom you can work throughout the talk therapy process. Can You Cancel Your BetterHelp Subscription? If you decide you want to cancel your BetterHelp subscription, you may do so at any time.
Can I use BetterHelp for a week?
Some insurances are now also using Betterhelp so that may be an option for you depending on your insurance status. Some people opt to subscribe for one week and cancel for one and reactivate in order to have every other week sessions without having to pay for weekly services when they are not being used. If you decide you want to cancel your BetterHelp subscription, you may do so at any time. Upon investigation, evidence suggests that BetterHelp may have lured users into expensive subscription plans unknowingly with misleading promotional offers and a confusing enrollment process, obscuring the fact that BetterHelp enrolls consumers into monthly paid subscriptions. BetterHelp subscriptions range from $60 to $90 per week (billed every 4 weeks), so the monthly costs will typically be between $240 and $360. If you find that you no longer need therapy or choose to end your subscription for any other reason, you cancel at any time. Betterhelp has 30 minute blocks but you can request and some therapist will allow up to an hour if you schedule. You can only schedule one live at a time. Typically my clients will do 1x/week tops or some do every other and I have a limited number that just schedule sporadically.
