SPONSORSHIP NOTE: BETTERHELP  

Is there something interfering with your happiness? Have you been wanting to start counseling, but not know where to look or start? 

BetterHelp will assess your needs and match you with your own licensed professional therapist. You get to connect in a safe and private online environment - it's so convenient, and of course confidential. Once you sign up you can start communicating in under 24 hours. Y'all, this isn't self-help, this is professional counseling.

What I love about it the most is that you can send a message to your counselor at any time. You’ll get timely and thoughtful responses plus you can schedule weekly video or phone sessions.  

Betterhelp makes it easy and free to change counselors if needed. It’s more affordable than traditional offline counseling and financial aid is available.

Their licensed professional counselors specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, sleeping, trauma, anger, family conflict, grief, and self-esteem.
