Access to mental healthcare remains a significant challenge for many Americans. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that 129.6 million people live in areas with a federally designated healthcare professional shortage, and that figure doesn't even account for the countless individuals who simply can't afford care. BetterHelp aims to bridge this gap by providing more affordable mental healthcare by conveniently matching you with a therapist online.
The cost of a BetterHelp subscription, which includes one live weekly session and the ability to asynchronously message your therapist anytime, ranges from $70 to $100 per week, billed weekly or every four weeks. This price can vary depending on your location, therapist availability and other factors.
For a limited time, new users can get started with BetterHelp and save 20% on your first month thanks to our exclusive offer.
