Common Questions About BetterHelp and BetterHelp Alternatives
How Much Is BetterHelp?
To be blunt, you get what you pay for in therapy and there’s a reason BetterHelp pricing is inexpensive. The rates they pay their therapists are probably some of the lowest in the industry. They have to be in order to keep costs to the consumer low. We know this because our founder, Dr. Sarah Schewitz, signed up to work for several online therapy services, including BetterHelp, to learn the ropes when she first decided to provide online therapy. She quickly realized there was a need for a superior online therapy experience with higher standards for therapists quality of work and training. That’s when she decided to create an alternative to BetterHelp and she started Couples Learn.
Is BetterHelp Legit?
OK, so you’ve tried the online therapy thing with BetterHelp and it wasn’t quite as helpful as you expected or hoped it would be. I wish I could say that your experience was a fluke and there are tons of great therapists on BetterHelp, but, it’s not and there aren’t. However, I do want to reassure you that your negative experience is not a reflection of how all online therapy goes. If you’re ready to be done with BetterHelp, counseling from an online therapist at Couples Learn is ready to help you.
Problems With BetterHelp
Unfortunately, low rates often translate to low quality when it comes to therapy. Think about it. If you knew you were really great at what you do, would you settle for a company that didn’t pay you what you are worth or would you find a way to earn more knowing you were a valuable asset? This is why most truly excellent therapists are in private practice…and why so many patients are seeking BetterHelp alternatives.
The Better Alternative to BetterHelp
When we created Couples Learn, we wanted to combine the convenience of online therapy with the boutique experience of seeing a therapist in private practice.
Yes, seeing a therapist in private practice is usually more expensive than BetterHelp. It’s also worth it. You’re worth it! The money you invest into yourself and your own personal growth has the highest return on investment possible. Investing in your mental health increases the quality of your relationships, your performance at work, and the overall happiness you feel with your life. That’s priceless.
The Better Alternative to BetterHelp
Don’t waste another second researching BetterHelp vs Talkspace or another big online platform. Couples Learn provides an intimate helping experience without the diluted quality that often comes with a big corporation more focused on streamlining systems than on helping individuals. All of our therapists have extensive training in their area of expertise and thousands of hours of supervised experience to make sure they’re the absolute best at what they do.
Scheduling and rescheduling is a breeze using our online system and all of our therapists offer a free 30 minute consultation to help you and your therapist determine if working together is a good fit. If we’re not the best fit for your needs, we’ll tell you and we’ll also do our best to help you find referrals for therapists who are a better match. Seriously! It’s not just about the bottom line with us. This is just one reason we’re a BetterHelp alternative you can trust. We truly want you to get help, even if it’s not with us.
So if you’re ready to get personalized, professional help from some of the best trained therapists in the industry, book your free consultation today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
In short, no but it’s also more complicated than that. We do accept PPO insurance as an out of network provider. What that means is you pay your therapist directly after each session and then we submit a receipt for services (called a superbill) to your insurance for you at the end of every month. Once the claim is accepted, your insurance will mail you a check for the amount they agree to reimburse for out of network providers. To learn more about your specific plan, call your insurance company to inquire about your out of network benefits. Want to learn more about why most therapists don’t take insurance? Read more
Can me and my partner connect from different places?
Yep! That is one of the many benefits of online therapy, even as a BetterHelp alternative. When you book an appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with a link. Just send the link to your partner and he or she can connect by clicking the same link. All 3 of us will be in a video chat together and we all can see each other at the same time.
What is the cost of working with Couples Learn?
Our session rates are comparable with doctoral level specialist psychologists in Los Angeles. Please setup a free 30 minute consultation to learn more about the rates for the specific services you are seeking.
Are online couples therapy and individual therapy sessions as good as in-person?
Yes! Finding a BetterHelp alternative doesn’t have to mean in-person therapy. Online therapy is just as effective as meeting in person. All the nuances of facial expressions and nonverbal communication can be seen through video just as they can in person. Our clients love that they do not have to allocate time to travel to and from an office, and deal with traffic or parking. Our clients also say having sessions from home makes it more comfortable for them to open up and be vulnerable.
Does what we talk about in session remain confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and therapist. If you choose to become our clients, no one knows you are our clients and no one knows anything you talk about except you and your therapist.
Do you have evening appointments?
Yes. Our last appointment is at 6pm but evening time slots are reserved for current clients only which is why you don’t see them on the schedule when booking a free consultation. Most people find they can do the 30 min consult during work hours. Then, if you become a client, you can schedule an evening appointment. If you are doing a consult for couples therapy, it is fine if you and your partner are in separate locations for the consult. You can both just click the link and we will all be in the same video chat.
