This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My problem with the company www.Betterhelp.com is similar to other people problems, who used the free trials. I also subscribed for the free trial and after 28 days I have cancelled it. As it was mentioned on the website. However, the company took the whole sum from me. The sum was $170 and I was very surprised about it. When I contacted them and told that I have cancelled the trial, the rep confirmed this information, but he hasn’t helped me with refund or anything else.

They never provided any services, and subscribed me for weekly payment in a misleading, deceitful manner, without my consent. This is so wrong, and it looks like I am not alone.

I have cancelled my Subscription over 6 weeks ago after I found out they charge you weekly even if not using a Therapist and I’m still getting charged… They must be stopped!

They never paid me as a therapist and I had to get an attorney involved and they owe me $11,000. They did this to other therapists as well.

I tried canceling my subscription. I didn't get any detailed information if it has been canceled. Please cancel my account!

This is a total scam. You don't get therapy. The counselor makes small talk with you. I was charged 180.00 for charges I did not authorize. This occurred on November 26, 2018. I have already disputed the charge with the credit card company.

Disgusted with this service. I also signed up for the free trial which I believed would be free as advertised! Ended up taking nearly 300 from my account. Requested a refund and took ages to get back to me, leaving my bank account in overdraft and apparently would take 1 business day to go back in, it's been 4 days and the money has still not been fully processed, I haven't even been able to get myself food. Absolute joke! Dont use this service especially if you are suffering with stress makes you feel 20 times worse I feel like I need counselling for just using this site.

I was also charged more than 4 times more than the advertised price ($180 instead of $45) and was not provided with what was advertised (i.e. voice calls). I have now requested a refund and have reported this as fraud.

I cancelled my subscription and was charge $260! The counselor was not available and when is finally was able to talk 2 days later she only talked for about 30 minutes. She said that she would send the cancelation however I was still charged the full $260 for 30 minutes of talk!

This is a rip off and I expect a credit immediately

This company took $260 out of my account without my consent. I even canceled it and still go charged. I don't have any money left in my account and it says that it will take at least one business day to reply and i don't have that kind of time. From read i've read they wont even respond.

Turned me away after I had already paid. Waiting on a refund, but what kind of place that's meant to help those who are struggling refuses people? If you have a lot of different problems, or problems that are severe, don't even bother. They will make you feel like you are beyond help. A very poor experience to have when you're already feeling low.

Scammers. No help
I clicked on a link saying 7 day free trial and they charged me $180/month for 2 months on my card without sending me a bill. The therapist was zero help during the trial. They basically just scam you without your knowledge

I cant believe that you can not talk to an actual person about billing issues. You can talk to a counselor on the phone or facetime but not customer service. Email is just not ok and not professional. I don't want to give personal info to some email and I feel I am not getting anything resolved.

Because they are a sham to me. I posted a very detailed complaint here exposing what I believe is their misleading to the public.
