Many of us experience mental health concerns at some point in our lives, and therapy can be a beneficial way to navigate challenging situations and build healthy coping skills. When it comes to finding a therapist, Savannah, GA can offer more variety than many surrounding rural and suburban areas, but getting the right counseling services can be a challenge, even in a populous metropolitan area.
One of the roadblocks can be that there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches in psychotherapy, and they may be more or less effective depending on what mental health challenge they are addressing. For example, a provider that specializes in binge eating disorder or other eating disorders isn’t typically going to be the right therapist for someone who is looking for drug evaluations or for help with chemical dependency. The kind of therapy that you need may not be readily available in your area. Or the therapist may not be in network or taking new patients.
This is where online therapy through a platform like BetterHelp can be of value. BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health care professionals with expertise in a number of specializations, as well as experience with a variety of populations. By filling out an online questionnaire, you will be connected to a therapist that meets your individual needs. And because therapy is a collaborative process that depends on healthy dynamics and a supportive environment, if you feel you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy with BetterHelp can also be a solution for busy parents, students, and professionals. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
Therapy can be a useful tool for a number of issues, whether you’re looking for healthy coping strategies for stress, healing from an eating disorder, learning to build supportive relationships, or building a toolbox of skills to facilitate a more meaningful life.
