Mental Health Awareness Month is a time dedicated to raising awareness of those living with mental health issues and to provide resources that can improve daily wellbeing — like telehealth services. Telehealth therapy services aim to overcome the barriers of stigma and financial and time constraints by bringing mental health care directly to patients via their computers or smart devices.
If you’re interested in finding expert emotional support, Ebony has narrowed down the top-rated online therapy platforms, with a range of price options and distinct features:
REAL
Real provides care that is fun, affordable, and flexible to your unique needs and mental health goals. The service allows for access anytime, anywhere, and allows you to choose your pathway with therapist-designed eight-week courses that allow you to explore different aspects of your mental and emotional wellness.
TALKSPACE
Talkspace offers comprehensive online mental health treatment options to meet all your needs, offers couples and teen therapy, and psychiatry help. 80% of users admit to finding the service to be as effective or more than traditional therapy.
BETTERHELP
Betterhelp can help you with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, and more. With their therapists, you get the same professionalism and quality you would expect from an in-office therapist, but with the ability to communicate when and how you want. Upon starting the service, the platform offers a quiz to help you find a therapist to fit your needs and preferences, including options for frontline workers.
WYSA
Harnessing the futuristic tech of an AI chatbot, Wysa helps users self-manage stressors by listening with professional expert support. Blended with professional human support. The platform leverages evidence-based cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) and meditation to make you feel heard 24/7 and provide high-quality mental health support.
CIRCLES UP
Circles Up connects users with emotional support groups for people experiencing similar life events, facilitated by professionals in online safe spaces. The platform loops you with others using a smart and sensitive matching methodology so you experience a sense of belonging and connection with your peers – people experiencing similar challenges to yours, so they truly understand.
