How many virtual face to face video sessions are available per week or is there no limit?
HI, the max is what you have read. One session for 60 minutes or two sessions for 30 minutes each. That is all that Better Help offers at this time. If you are looking for more sessions that than, it may be best to find a local therapist in your area that offers face to face or online sessions to meet your needs. Oftentimes one session a week is recommended and then the client can join support groups for find local peer support to supplement the counseling. A community mental health provider in your area may have all these types of wrap around services to best help your needs. They offer groups such as for anxiety/depression, coping skills, relapse prevention, DBT groups, wellness groups, life skills groups. Peer support is offered by individuals that have struggled with mental health or possibly addiction issue and then they become peer certified through the state of Florida to walk alongside clients to offer more support. Sometimes it is important because a client knows that the peer support specialist has walked a similar path and then they can offer practical solutions to help the individual live a healthier life that is centered around wellness rather than their diagnosis. I would google community mental health center in your area and call. Gather information to see what they offer and how the center can wrap around you to best help meet your needs. Community mental health centers also charge on a sliding scale basis. I live in Pinellas county and the max out of pocket the community mental health center here for someone without insurance only charges $15 for each appointment. This can include psychiatry appointments, counseling appointments, group therapy, peer support appointments. Some clients also qualify for Targeted case management to assist with life skills such as finding housing, jobs, filling out applications, getting into substance abuse treatment centers, budgeting, getting to and from doctors appointment and helping with life skills as well. I hope this information helps you find the mental health care that you are looking for. Good luck in your search and thank you for reaching out.
