⚈ Better Together© is all about building and maintaing your own natural support network - a Group of friends, family and other connections that are there to share in times of distress as well as celebration. Your Better Together© Group becomes an important part of your network.

⚈ Studies show that the more you engage in your Group, connections organically (automatically) emerge. These connections can be called upon between Group Sessions, too.

⚈ Because the Better Together© Network is made up of only licensed professional therapists, Groups are safe, very affordable (about $30 a Session), and you can have as much anonymity as you like. There is never pressure for you to participate more than you are comfortable.

   

Benefits of Membership.

Your Group is always run by a fully state-licensed therapist.

Your Group is made up of a small number of Members who share your same concerns.
Group sizes vary. Most Groups are 6 to 12 Members + the therapist.

Groups build affirming and supportive relationships.
Group sizes vary. Most Groups are 6 to 12 Members + the therapist.

Cost per Session is $30.
Each Group meeting usually last about an hour (with time before and after for getting to know your Group). Group meetings are called Sessions. A Session usually costs about $30.

Want to move to another Group? Fine. 100% Guarantee.
Change to another Group if you want. We've found that becoming comfortable with your Group usually takes about 3 to 4 Sessions, but it's up to you. Your 1st Session is fully refundable.

Comes as you are.
Groups meet online using our super-easy-to-use AI-based Community-Building Platform. Each Group meeting is called a Session.

Be as anonymous as you want.
No pressure. You decide your level of activity in your Group. Members can opt-out of sharing their video at any time. Most Members prefer to share their video after 2 or 3 Group Sessions.

You select your therapist.
We never make that decision for you. You are encouraged to check out each therapist's Profile and Rating to find the best match for you. All therapists are rated by the Members who have participated in Groups with them.

Decide on your own length of therapy. .
Because of the reduced rates, most Members find continuing with the Group therapy is very affordable.

Our Smart Therapy insures you will receive best-standards therapy every Session.
We believe in focused effective therapy. Some therapists are more skilled in areas than other. We've developed our AI-based "Smart Syllabus" that provides a best-standards platform consistently meeting the needs of each Member in your Group.

Want individual therapy?
Not everyone needs individual ("one-on-one") therapy, however, Better Together© will keep you updated when one-on-one therapy sessions open with your therapist.

   

Benefits of Natural Support Groups.

Groups are highly effective for long-term therapy.

In a recent series of 11 meta-analyses encompassing 329 studies comparing group with individual therapy, Group therapy was found effective for depression and bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, social anxiety disorder, panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, and chronic pain (Rosendahl, J., et al., The American Journal of Psychotherapy, Vol. 74, No. 2, 2021).

Groups optimize social support, often lacking in individual therapy.

Social support is not the same as merely being in the presence of others. The critical issue is reciprocity: being truly heard and seen by the people around us, feeling that we are held in someone else's mind and heart. For our physiology to calm down, heal, and grow we need a visceral feeling of safety. No doctor can write a prescription for friendship and love: These are complex and hard-earned capacities."- Bessel van der Kolk

Groups provide recovery options not available in individual therapy.

According to SAMHSA, "trauma-informed peer recovery support utilizes a strength-based framework that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety and creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense

Groups optimize the social impact of therapists at times of great therapeutic need.

Groups provide significant financial opportunities for qualified therapists.
