When looking for a therapist the Bronx, NY has more options than a lot of more rural or suburban places, but the best person for the job may remain elusive. Even in areas where there are many therapists, you may not be able to find one that specializes in what you need, much less that you connect with. With online therapy platforms like BetterHelp,  individuals can simply fill out an online questionnaire to be matched with a therapist that meets their specific needs. BetterHelp has over 30,000 licensed mental healthcare professionals with extensive experience working in all areas of talk therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, relationship counseling, compassionate care for women, and more. 

Online therapy not only offers the same quality of care as in-person counseling, but it can also be very convenient and cost-effective for many. Sessions can be built into your busy schedule easily with video chat, phone, and text options, and are held from the comfort of your own home. And while BetterHelp doesn’t accept insurance, people often find online sessions more affordable than many individual practices.  

For residents of Bronx county, BetterHelp can be a fast, easy, and convenient way to get the therapy they need. Simply fill out an online questionnaire to be matched with a licensed professional. If for any reason you feel that you need a different therapist, you can make the switch at no extra cost.

Whether you are seeking treatment for a mental health condition, looking for guidance in stress management, or interested in increasing self-awareness, BetterHelp can offer a simple and convenient way to get started on your wellness journey.
