This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp online counseling. One of the things we’ve talked about a lot this year is how to find a good therapist. BetterHelp is a platform of real, licensed therapists, not a crisis line, that makes counseling convenient, accessible, and affordable. You can see a professional therapist by video, phone, chat, or even text message session from the comfort of your own home. If you have been pursuing mental health, or trying to see a therapist, but are having difficulty getting into an office for whatever the reason: this is a great tool. Their counselors specialize in a multitude of mental health needs including depression, stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, sleep, anger and much more. As with any professional counselor, all sessions are 100% confidential. BetterHelp is committed to facilitating great therapeutic matches so they make it easy and free to change counselors if needed • It’s more affordable than traditional offline counseling and financial aid is available

 BetterHelp is offering Selfie listeners 10% off their first month with the discount code SELFIE. Go to BetterHelp.com/SELFIE, fill out the questionnaire, and get matched with a professional therapist in as little as a day. Join over 1 million people who have taken charge of their mental health at BetterHelp dot com slash selfie for 10% off your first month of therapy.
