Access to mental healthcare remains a critical barrier for millions of Americans, with 129.6 million living in federally designated healthcare professional shortage areas, according to estimates from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
This figure excludes the countless individuals who simply cannot afford care, leaving a significant gap in mental health support.
BetterHelp, the world’s largest online therapy platform, aims to address this gap by providing accessible and affordable teletherapy services. The platform connects users with licensed therapists, offering the flexibility to message professionals anytime, anywhere—eliminating the logistical hurdles of traditional in-person therapy.
Subscriptions to BetterHelp include one weekly live session and unlimited messaging, with costs ranging from $70 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). Prices may vary based on location, therapist availability, and other factors. For a limited time, USA TODAY Shopping readers can save 20% on their first subscription through an exclusive offer.
BetterHelp offers a range of therapy types, including individual, couples, and teen therapy, catering to diverse mental health needs.
