About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Ruth is absolutely wonderful to work with. I know a lot of people say that about their therapist's, but, Ruth has this amazing ability to talk to you in such a way that you forget she is a therapist; she speaks to you as if you were someone she cares about and that means so much. She never has a judgemental tone, never dismisses feelings that you have about something and always reminds you that you are free and safe to share anything and everything that you need to while you are talking with her. She establishes trust straight away and makes sure that you fully understand what her obligations are when it comes to talk about you harming yourself or others. I have had the absolute privilege of getting lucky each time I have reached out for help throughout my adult life in that I get matched with someone I click and feel comfortable with straight away. Ruth is just phenomenal in what she does; I recommend BetterHelp to my friends/family all the time!

I really feel heard and supported by Ruth. You can tell she truly cares for her patients and is committed to help however she can. I have not had the best experience with therapists so working with Ruth has been a breath of fresh air.
