I went to BetterHelp because I wanted support in healing from my childhood trauma. BetterHelp customized a list of therapists based on my needs. From there, I was able to find a therapist pretty easily. My therapist makes it so easy and comfortable to talk to; it was easy for me to open up and talk about my feelings. There are many options to work with the therapist depending on your comfort level - you can chat, email, call, or video chat. I prefer video chat as it mimics in-person sessions. I have had about 10 sessions and really enjoyed them. I found these virtual sessions calming, helpful, and supportive. The therapists are all professionally licensed and have different expertise. It's crucial to find one that meets your specific needs and personal goal. I recommend reaching out to a therapist and explain what is that you need and if he or she can support you to reach your goal, before you book the first session. This way you know whether or not that therapist is right for you. It took me about a week to find a therapist that works with childhood trauma, however, the time is well spent. I was able to find a therapist that I can connect to, that I feel comfortable talking to, and she is very supportive and nurturing.
