I have been seeing Iris for a little over a year now. I've gone to therapy for many years before seeing her and have seen a number of therapists. However, Iris has hands down been the best I've ever seen. I have never clicked so well with a therapist before. Off the bat, I felt no judgment from her. Her calm laid-back demeanor was very inviting. She has such a deep understanding of mental health, more so than what I've experienced with other providers. She not only created a safe space for me to open up but was very proactive in giving me goals and homework so I could get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself, and take control of my anxieties. I look forward to our appointments and have made more progress in a short time than I ever thought possible. I absolutely recommend Iris to anyone and everyone.

I have tried several places to talk to someone safely. I have been let down over and over again, until I finally tried betterhelp, which I kept hearing about. I answered all the questions and was definitely matched with a great therapist. I trust and feel safe with Iris and what I have to share. Her suggestions are great and a work in progress for me.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Iris has really allowed me to explore why I have been having such a hard time lately and I really do feel much better after our sessions! She listens and asks the right questions to get me to see where the issues are coming from! She has truly been a blessing I wish I did this sooner…
