While many of us associate mental healthcare with the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other conditions, most people can actually benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. A therapist offers effective coping skills that can resolve family conflict and relationship challenges, manage stress, improve well-being and support a better life all around.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Montebello, CA may offer more variety than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that within the wider field of mental health care, there are a number of therapeutic approaches and specializations. A holistic approach, solution-based therapy, women’s issues, play therapy, CBT, and many more. There’s no guarantee that what you want or need as a therapy approach will be available in your area. And even if there is a practice that specializes in what you need, they may have a waiting list or may not be taking new patients. That’s where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers Southern California-based online mental health providers that specialize in a broad range of approaches and techniques, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of Montebello-based online professionals below for more information.
