Are Betterhelp Therapists Qualified? Review from a Licensed Therapist

I’m Barbara Heffernan, a licensed psychotherapist, and in this video I share my BetterHelp therapy review with a focus on one key question: Are BetterHelp therapists qualified and licensed? I walk through the qualifications BetterHelp therapists are required to have, share my own experience using BetterHelp as a client, and show you a simple way to check therapist credentials in your state so you can choose someone who feels like a good fit. 1:1 Virtual Psychotherapy with BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/awakenjoy.

I am an affiliate of BetterHelp, as I am contacted frequently by viewers who do not have access to therapy, and I believe it can be a super helpful service.
