BetterHelp

BetterHelp is a prominent online mental health platform founded in 2013 by Alon Matas and Danny Bragonier. It aims to make professional therapy more accessible by eliminating barriers such as cost and geographic limitations. Acquired by Teladoc Health in 2015, BetterHelp connects users with a network of over 31,000 licensed therapists, ensuring a high standard of care. The platform primarily offers individual therapy through licensed professionals, including psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and clinical social workers. Users can communicate with their therapists via private messaging, live chat, phone, or video sessions, with a subscription model that typically includes one live session per week and unlimited messaging. BetterHelp also provides specialized services through its subsidiaries, Regain and Teen Counseling, which focus on couples and teen therapy, respectively. Additionally, the platform offers group therapy, meditation services, and tailored packages for businesses and educational institutions, emphasizing its commitment to expanding mental health support.
