BetterHelp was founded in 2013 to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Today, it is the world’s largest therapy service — providing professional, affordable, and tailored therapy in a convenient online format.
BetterHelp’s network of more than 30,000 licensed therapists has helped over 5 million people take ownership of their mental health and work towards their personal goals. BetterHelp offers access to licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), and board licensed professional counselors (LPC).

Disclaimer: While therapists on BetterHelp are independent contractors, BetterHelp ensures that every provider on the platform is licensed and in good standing. Providers who apply are required to provide a valid license and proof of identity and their licensure is cross-checked with their respective state licensing board. With that said, individuals seeking therapy through BetterHelp or any other in-person or online avenue are encouraged to do their own due diligence in reviewing descriptions, available credentials, and personal fit (upon any initial screenings/sessions) to ensure, as much as possible, a comfortable and productive match.
MCN does not endorse any particular therapist, counselor, or social worker offering services through BetterHelp, but rather has entered this partnership as a way to share one of many available outlets for those interested in exploring therapy or counseling. Individuals are encouraged to avail themselves of any and all trusted therapy referral options (in-person or online), including those recommended by existing health care/mental health professionals.
