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. Starting at $65 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

Dhruti is awesome! She listens to my concerns and helps me work through them. She also doesn't hold back when she has something I need to hear. Which I appreciate. Dhruti has really helped me with viewing situations in a different way and this has gone a long way in building a better relationship with my family and with myself.

My very first session with her she treated me different than any other therapist I’ve seen. She was immediately offering tools and asking questions to get to the root of my issues instead it just letting me ramble for an hour. It was the first time I felt like a therapist actually wanted to help me be the best me that I could be.

She's very kind and she tell it to you straight, which helps me not hide from things be sugar-coated. She gives an open mind on what I am going through and what opposite opinions are on the matter. She is really good therapist that really helped me in my darkest time. Even when people belittled me for what happened in my life she was there to help me. And I appreciate her.

I REALLY GET ALOT OUT OF MY THERAPY WITH DHRUTI.

Dhruti is excellent. She has helped me tremendously over the past year, and I hope to continue to work with her.

Dr. Dhruti keeps me on track in my healing journey.

Dhruti’s approach is very refreshing. I always feel like we actually make progress in our sessions. She follows up on any takeaways from the last session. I feel like we drill in to specific issues. I’ve experienced more “aha” moments in our first month of sessions than with anyone else in the past. Her availability is great as well. A lot of options.

I feel that my sessions with Dhruti are a good balance of me being able to talk out what I’m going through, and her responding with questions and practical tools that I can use to respond to challenges more effectively. I like being able to send messages when things come up for me between sessions, so I don’t forget and we can talk about them. I appreciate that she reaches out between sessions to check in with me.

After a session I felt that the therapist was knowledgeable and going to bring valued info into my life for maintaining a healthy mental balance.

Dhruti was very supportive in my sessions and listened with compassion. She offered tools and alternative ways to address my concerns and issues. I greatly benefited from the therapy sessions and highly recommend her!

I’m happy about the improvement That I see in my life she is very supportive and whenever I need her she’s there

Dhruti is an excellent observer & is really able to pick out what's the core issue is during the session. She keeps things active & efficient helping to guide me towards the right tools & direction. Great choice.

Dr. Shah is very kind but keeps it real which is what is needed when trying to heal.

She's really great and she listens to me

from the first session i realized a huge difference in myself shes helped so much mostly cause i feel like she really listens and understands my thoughts and concerns

Dhruti Shah has been extremely helpful with approaching inner work I have been needing to address and has helped me overcome my depression. I think she offers wonderful insight and resources for helping set up clients for success. I feel blessed to have been able to see her and gotten assistance from her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a counselor.

Dhruti is a very professional, compassionate and extremely respectful therapist. She was able to reach to my core issues in 1 session only and was able to help me to navigate through my emotions to exclude my feelings from my reactions. She is highly recommended for someone who is having codependency issues

Dhruti is incredible! Her approach and demeanor is absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend!!

Dhruti Shah is so caring and so sweet. She understands how my brain works when I myself do not even know. She’s highly intelligent and is great with explaining new concepts of thought. Highly recommend her!!

Great so far. She understands this is a process and she is helping guide me through this journey.

Ms Dhruti Shah listens to the problem and proposes solutions that really help. She also takes intermittent feedback in between sessions on how I'm doing and keeps a track of my wellbeing. Strongly recommend her to someone looking out for an all-rounded therapist.

Dhruti has changed my life and my mental health. I am so thankful I found her and have learned so much from her expertise.

Great communication! Love the worksheets and tips and tools for anxiety.

I can honestly say Dhruti has changed my life. She is incredibly knowledgeable and understands exactly what I need to work on to get through my struggles. She doesn't say what you want to hear but what you need to hear, all while delivering it in a kind and caring manner. Dhruti was exactly what I needed and am so happy I was matched with such an amazing therapist.

Dhruti has helped me immeasurably over the last year in working with her. I’ve found strength I didn’t know I had

She is the best

I have just started my therapy with better help and Dhruti Shah has been great. I feel well supported and that I am working towards building the skills that have been missing in my life for a long time. I only wish I reached out sooner.

Dhruti was an excellent mentor to have in this mental health journey. Consistently over the past 7 months she has been nothing but helpful, willing to have difficult conversations ask difficult questions, push the limits and ultimately reexamine my worldview, I wish her nothing but the best going forward and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone at any stage within their mental health journey.

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful my journey, to finally reach peace of mind, was with Dhruti. She’s been comforting from the very first second we spoke, she’s always been very professional and available. Her words and approach in the best and worst days gave me the tools to find a way to take care of myself on my own. I’m happy for the next lucky person that is going to have the chance to sit with her and wish an happy journey to them.

They are a fantastic therapist and gave me great tools to help me feel more confident in myself and work through times when I am feeling very anxious.

I am extremely grateful to Dhruti Shah. She is very supportive and understanding. She gave me useful solutions to all my problems and I was able to implement it in my life with her guidance. She was always ready to help me even after sessions and during emergencies. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is suffering and needs help.

I’ve had the pleasure to have Dhruti as my therapist for the past year which absolutely changed my life. Identifying as trans, queer and non-monogamous I was very afraid I won’t be able to find a therapist who’ll genuinely listen to my struggles without questioning my life choices and disrespecting my values. Dhruti is more than that. She's consistently showed up to our sessions committed to helping me with my anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges in the most compassionate, open-minded, and overall very professional way, finding tools that I’d personally derive from the most. I cannot recommend her and her expertise enough! Not to mention, she’s a very kind human who knows exactly when to give you tough love whilst providing words of comfort and reassurance. 10/10!

I am so thankful for dr Shah. She helped me so much with addiction, recovery, self help, not judging others and the importance of mindfulness. This was my first time doing therapy and looking back over the last few months I truly believe this has helped me find a strong footing again in this crazy world.

Dhruti is direct and curious in her approach. She is keen for you to build and exercise new skills and habits. Dhruti makes the most of your time together.

She is so supportive

Dhruti has a good command on therapy skills.

Dhruti is such a gem of a human being. Her skill at making you feel heard and acknowledged from the get go is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for the skills she granted me. My toolbox is filled with ways to tackle many types of problems because she was able to explain them in a straightforward and applicable way. Most importantly, she helped me find my confidence. And with that, I know I have got me to face any issues that could arise. So highly recommended.

Dhruti is nice therapist. She listen carefully and always gave appropriate advice.

Dhruti came through for me when other therapists just weren't working for me. I was honestly ready to give up on therapy until we had our first session. She always listens without judging, and has lots of great resources that she is ready to share. She made sure to check in and make sure her therapy style was working for me, which was hugely appreciated. The first session might be a little intense, but it's in a good way. I feel that Dhruti genuinely cares about helping people get their lives back on track, and makes sure that you leave with the tools to continue doing so, even after your therapy journey ends. I could not recommend her more highly.

Dhruti has been a great during my therapy journey. I had been struggling quite a lot with expressing my emotions through forms other than anger and had quite low self-esteem. Although I will continue to work on myself, I can feel a change in my reactions and behaviours. Dhruti has been a great listener and provided me with the best resources. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Dhruti is a great person to help guide you through your emotions. She has helped me dig deeper to identify what my feelings and emotions are. She also provides concrete feedback, guidance and exercises that have helped me make progress. Very compassionate, great listener and very respectful and professional. Would highly recommend!

Dhruti has been an excellent therapist to help me work through my depression and anxiety. She immediately provided practical tools that I could incorporate easily into my daily life. She is professional, kind, asks excellent questions, and provides resources to help me in my journey. Her skills as a therapist have been life-changing.

I was skeptical at first. But BetterHelp has really helped me and I’ve only had three sessions. 10/10 recommend

I am completely happy with Dhruti Shah, her way of talking with me and understanding me is something I wished to experience in therapy way before. I have the feeling she really understands me and my struggle. I'm beyond thankful to be able to work with her!

I want to share very proudly that I am happy that I am able to achieve my Goal with which I joined better help. Thanks to my therapist Dr. Dhruti Shah for that. This was my first time going for therapy and I am glad that I took this step for myself. In the first conversation itself I was able to connect with my therapist so well that the initial hesitation of sharing my thoughts was gone... Dr. Dhruti Shah has been always kind to me, listened to me patiently, shared with me resources which I can use, understood me so well and is very genuine. She is well equipped and she gave me time to empty my thoughts and process my past hurts and traumas. The day when I joined better help I was in a very low state of mind and had very low self esteem and my therapist showed me how to change these thoughts and the confidence that I have in me now is the proof. I now have resources that I have practiced and I can use in future whenever I am stuck again because life will always have it's ups and downs but now I feel I have the strength. Also I am close to loving myself, I am aware and mindful of my thoughts because of which I am able to pull myself out of the negative thought cycle. All this is because of the pure intentions and guidance of my therapist. I am thankful and forever grateful to my therapist Dr. Dhruti Shah and Better help. Thank you. And wish you the best.❤️

Dhruti is intuitive as well as having experience and knowledge grounded in theory. I don't have to try too hard to explain myself, she understands and offers peace in difficult times.

Very much the person I needed... She is non-judgemental and allows you to make decisions on the types of therapy you are comfortable with. She is wonderful at using illustrations in helping to understand things better. I have been through hard traumatic experiences in life and I'm glad to have Dhruti as she is helping to peal those layers at a safe pace for myself.

Dhruti is very knowledgeable and professional. She is kind, patient, and understanding. I never felt rushed during a session. She was always listening and was prepared to offer different exercises and worksheets that could help me. If a suggested exercise didn't quite work for me, she was always prepared to keep working to find something that did work. I also appreciated that we would look for improvement on a weekly basis. We celebrated my progress together. She motivated me to want to discover more about myself. She challenged me to question why I think the way I do and it was an amazing experience. This was my first time trying therapy and I am so grateful that my first experience was with her. I highly recommend her.

Dr Dhruti Shah was an immense help for me! She didn't make me feel like a patient who was mentally unwell, but rather a dignified human being who has lost his way a little. She listens with full attention and intent, and her choice of words hit home. Her piercing questions go to the heart of the issue and I am left to connect the dots and answer my own questions. She also never tries to put names or labels on what I am feeling, which creates a safe space for me to express myself freely. Rather than tasks or routines, she chose a dialectic and insightful style for me and it worked really well! I felt empowered after only a few months. She dispelled many deep misunderstandings and beliefs I had about myself. I am able to love myself much better and I am grateful to have been paired with a wonderful soul. Here's a quote that fits her approach perfectly: “I can’t see a way through”, said the boy. “Can you see your next step?" “Yes” “Just take that”, said the horse. - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

She understands what I need and I’m improving in all aspect

She is just too helpful and I would always choose her again as my therapist

She has helped me a ton to take lots of necessary steps forward in my life. I feel like her power is to see the big picture even when I don't see it fully myself. I'm truly thankful for everything!

Very helpful!

She is sooooo kind and understands me

Dhruti was very helpful in helping me look at and understand the issues that I was was facing. She gave solid advice and methods to help combat my issues.

Dhruti was a great therapist for the entire time I used Betterhelp. She provided a lot of tools and resources to help me manage my depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. She was extremely respectful of pronoun usage. I would definitely recommend her to people struggling with mental health challenges!

Dhruti is a very competent therapist. She gave me a lot of helpful advice, which was of great quality. She understood me intuitively as well as cognitively. She is a bright and comprehensive person with a clear mind and a compassionate heart. I was seeing her due to Borderline issues and she gave me a very professional DBT treatment. Dhruti is a true expert in mindfulness. Highly recommended

Dr. Dhruti Shah helped me so much dealing with anxiety and giving me tools to handle day to day stress as well as trauma. These tools have really helped me and I’m a more relaxed person for it! Thank you

I've been taking therapy for 2 months from Dhruti. And it's been mostly an upward incline in my state, since I started therapy. Her experience shows in the way she listens to you, and is almost immediately able to tell why you've been feeling that way. Her belief in her patients is commendable and infuses hope. She has a very soothing and welcoming aura. She shares anecdotes from her own life which helps me connect with her more. She has helped me discover patterns in my behavior which I couldn't find even after my habit of over analyzing. Her suggested tips and techniques helps me navigate through my emotions and she always has more in case something doesn't work for me.

She really listens.

She gets me! Understood clearly what my needs were and helped me navigate my emotional traumas and blocks effortlessly. Highly recommend

Dhruti is an excellent therapist with so much knowledge and skills to implement in life. I am blessed to have found the right therapist in Dhruti and have made so much progress, thank you!!

She is a great listener and helped me unpack a lot of trauma that I’ve experienced in the past. I was exposed to many methods of healing, and my conversations with her have helped me open up a lot more. Her patience and readiness are admirable, and I’m glad that she made my first therapy experience worthwhile!

Dhruti is very well equipped with the skills and tools to help. She offers meaningful tasks to work on outside of the sessions. She is very understanding and makes me feel comfortable enough to open up.

Dhruti is calm, kind and asks useful questions that go to the core of the feelings behind what you are going through. She sets tasks to do/think about during the week too. I have found Dhrutis approach practical and insightful. Her method has helped me to see patterns in my thinking that I hadn't before, which will help me outside of this space. Thank you.

Wonderful first session! Looking forward to more!

She is awesome. I literally wait for the Day I can talk to her.

I have referred her to many people. She is understanding and comforting. She genuinely cares for my wellbeing so she is honest when I need to hear it. She knew immediately I would appreciate that and it was what I needed. She is the best therapist I have ever had and I've had dozens!

Sometimes all you need is a friend who can listen to you without any judgement when you are struggling mentally. And I am glad I found that friend in Dhruti via BetterHelp platform. It’s been a month and I could already feel a huge improvement in my mental health. She understands my internal struggles very well and her solutions are effectively helping me to navigate my life in right direction. I would definitely recommend Dhruti Shah’s Therapy & BetterHelp platform if you’re struggling internally and want someone to talk to.

Dhruti is a careful listener and a compassionate person. She asks insightful questions that allows one to think deeply into the issue of concern. She also gives you questions or exercises to ponder over between sessions which are very helpful.

She is great!

Dhruti listens and offers great insight. We have only been working together a short while and she's already helped me feel a lot better than when I started. I feel like I will be able to attain a semblance of recovery if I continue to work with her and follow her advice

Dhruti truly cares about the clients struggles and combines multiple forms of therapy in order to combat said issues. She truly listens with her questions helping me open up to the roots of my problems, without letting me feel invalidated. She would assign goals and "homework" that helps rewire negative thought processes. After just a few sessions with her, I feel very optimistic about my growth and healing!

I am really thankful for her therapy！ It is very helpful for now！

Dhruti is a wonderful blend of compassionate listening and straightforward techniques toward processing issues and being oneself. I really appreciate her attitude, and I feel like my outlook has improved through her exercises/ the direction she takes our time together.

She’s so lovely. She actively listens to me and tries to understand me.

Great listener , present, helpful, and feel cared for and listened to.
