What to Expect
Starting therapy for the first time is something to be proud of—but it’s normal to feel a little nervous. Here are a few things to keep in mind: If you are in crisis or someone may be in danger, do not use this service. Please visit betterhelp.com/gethelpnow for immediate support resources. It’s okay to begin therapy even if you’re not sure what to say. Discovering your goals is part of the process. Your therapist is there to support you. Building a trusting relationship is one of the most important parts of therapy. It’s completely okay to switch therapists. You can do so at any time to find the best fit for you. With your permission, ME and MOM may check in with you periodically to see how you are doing and support your progress throughout your treatment journey.
Free Therapy Through BetterHelp
At ME and MOM, we believe that no mother should have to face the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, or infertility alone. Our partnership with BetterHelp allows us to provide mothers with direct access to licensed, professional therapists, completely free of charge. Whether a mom is experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, or simply needs someone to listen, we ensure she receives timely and accessible mental health support tailored to her unique journey. Our goal is to remove barriers to care and help every mother feel supported, understood, and empowered during this important stage of life.
BetterHelp is the world’s largest online therapy platform, providing confidential, convenient mental health care from the comfort of your home. To get started through ME and MOM, participants fill out a short intake form. A ME and MOM representative will then contact you for a few additional details and provide a QR code to access BetterHelp’s services. BetterHelp will use your information to thoughtfully match you with a licensed therapist who fits your specific needs and experiences. Support is available for concerns like anxiety, depression, pregnancy-related stress, grief, trauma, infertility, relationship challenges, and the emotional difficulties that can come with high-risk pregnancies or NICU stays. All sessions are confidential and designed to create a safe, supportive space for healing.
Therapy through BetterHelp is designed to be flexible and personalized, accommodating the unique demands of motherhood. Moms can choose to communicate with their therapist through live video sessions, phone calls, or secure messaging, whichever method feels most comfortable and convenient. Sessions can be scheduled during mornings, evenings, or weekends, making it easier to fit care into busy, unpredictable schedules. This level of accessibility is especially valuable for mothers balancing medical appointments, work, bed rest, postpartum recovery, or caring for a newborn. With BetterHelp, support is always within reach, no matter the circumstances.
All BetterHelp therapists are licensed professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, and counselors. Each provider is experienced and well-trained, so every mom receives quality, compassionate support that fits her needs.
Through this partnership, ME and MOM removes one of the biggest barriers to care: cost. By covering therapy services, we ensure that mothers, regardless of financial situation, can receive the support they deserve during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
Our work is guided by a simple truth: Our health begins with mom. When we support maternal mental health, we’re not only helping mothers heal—we’re strengthening families, fostering resilience, and shaping healthier futures for children and communities. Every mom who receives care through our program has the chance to break cycles of stress and isolation, creating a positive ripple effect that benefits generations to come.
If you or someone you know could benefit from free therapy, we encourage you to reach out. You are not alone; we are here, in Mom’s Corner.
