BetterHelp is selling your mental health information to pinterest, snapchat and facebook.

BetterHelp is paying its therapists very little - including getting paid per word WITH A CAP. At some point they stop paying for another word. Which puts a therapist in a bind: should they keep doing their work for free or should they withdraw support from someone that needs it?

BetterHelp is creating the expectation that help is available at all time. Which sounds great, but one of the points of therapy is to create self-reliance. Also: therapists need boundaries too!

BetterHelp is funded by billionaires and millionaires who care primarily about turning a profit for their investors. Not about the therapists. Or the patients/clients.

We've learned as a profession that promising that one person will be constantly available is a recipe for disaster. I think the ramifications of therapists being on call all the time are pretty obvious, but the other problem is its effects on clients.

If you're in crisis and reach out to someone who's promised to always be there, and they're sick in bed and can't answer the phone, you're now dealing with whatever your first crisis was, AND the terms of your therapeutic relationship suddenly changing! You shouldn't have to ride the roller coaster of "They're not available; will they change their mind if they know I really need them? Maybe I'm just not important enough... maybe I'm being too much of a burden and asking for something that really inconveniences them. Wait, god dammit, this is important! How could they not be there for me when I need help? They promised!"
