Joshua Helman is really kind. He cares about my progress in life. He treats me as a human and with respect/care. I have been in and out of therapy over the last 9 years and i’ve found BetterHelp to be a revolutionary platform/approach to therapy versus my previous experiences . I’m really lucky to have come into contact with Dr. Joshua who has made this experience worth a try and I hope to continue god willing. Thank you

About online counseling

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.
