If you've said "I'm fine" lately and meant something else entirely, this one's for you. You're not the only one feeling this way. We asked our therapists what they're hearing right now, and the same things keep coming up. Here's what they want you to know: -- Melissa Hummelt, LMHC Staying busy isn't the same as feeling better. Scrolling, overworking, filling every hour—it numbs the stress, but it doesn't resolve it. Regulation is a practice, not a personality trait. The goal isn't to be calm all the time. It's to notice where you are and gently find your way back. -- Sreela Roy-Greene, PhD, LMHC This moment feels heavy for a lot of people. It's natural to feel overwhelmed even when you can't point to one specific reason. You're not alone in it, and taking care of yourself is how you can show up for everyone else too. -- Sarah Close, LPC Collective stress is real. What's happening in the world lands in your body even when it's not directly affecting your life. Focus on what you can control. Let go of what you can't. That doesn’t mean you’re giving up, you’re just protecting your energy. -- The things you haven't said out loud? Other people are carrying them too. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is show someone they're not alone. We’reWith You, out loud. #WithYou #BetterHelp #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Community

What does empowerment actually look like? We asked our therapists, and here’s what they shared: "Making daily decisions without needing reassurance or permission." - Ryan Kunz, LMSW "Asking for help, especially when it's hard. That's empowerment." - Sreela Roy-Greene, PhD, LMHC "Feeling empowered can feel like freedom. The freedom to choose, to change your mind, to take up space." - Melissa Hummelt, LPC -- It always leads back to you. The choices you make. How you make them. Who you make them for. You've spent a long time showing up for everyone else. This is what showing up for yourself looks like. We’re With You, on your terms. #WithYou #BetterHelp #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Empowerment

That "off" feeling you can't quite explain? It might be your brain telling you something. Cognitive overload doesn't always look like a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like rereading the same email four times. Or forgetting why you walked into a room. Or starting everything and finishing nothing. You're not lazy. Your brain is full. You don't have to have the words just yet; we’ll be With You while you find them. #WithYou #BetterHelp #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #StressAwareness #CognitiveOverload

Moms spend so much time caring for everyone else. This Mental Health Awareness Month, every assist is a reminder that moms need support too. BetterHelp is partnering with the Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty, and Dallas Wings to donate 10 hours of therapy for every assist made this May—helping more moms access care when they need it most. From tip-off through the end of the month, we’ll be tracking every assist in real time—turning support on the court into support for moms everywhere. As of today, we’ve recorded 118 assists and are committed to donating 1180 hours of therapy. Because no mom should have to carry the mental load of motherhood alone.

The Motherhood With You AMA on perinatal and postpartum mental health brought together a powerful set of questions from new and expecting moms. Led by Sonni Williams, LPC, PMH-C, the conversation covered postpartum depression, pregnancy-related anxiety, identity shifts, and the emotional complexity of early motherhood. Across it all, one message was clear: these experiences are common—and they deserve support. If you missed the live discussion, you can hear more in Episode 1 of Motherhood With You, focused on new and expecting moms 💚 Link is in our bio 🔗 #MotherhoodWithYou #MaternalMentalHealth #PostpartumSupport

Open Up To Me. You have to be selfish in order to be selfless. Do you agree? #OpenUpToMe #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #YourselfFirst #Selfishness

Episode 1 of Motherhood With You sits with new and expecting moms in that early stretch—where everything feels different and you’re still finding your footing.

85% of Americans believe in seeking mental health support. I’m grateful to see stigmas around therapy shift in my lifetime, but there’s still more work to be done. @betterhelp just released their 2026 State of Stigma Report where 2,000 Americans shared about anxiety, AI, stigma, and the platforms shaping their mental health. Getting help should never be stigmatized or uncertain. It’s a part of being human. #ad #BetterHelpPartner

2 years ago, I was in the middle of a career change and completely terrified it wasn’t going to work out. I needed every single thing to be certain before I could feel okay — and if it wasn’t, I’d spiral. Analyze. Try to force a conclusion. I genuinely thought that was just me being thorough. It took someone outside of my own head to tell me that need for certainty wasn’t a personality trait. It was my nervous system in survival mode. Around that time, I started therapy. What changed through therapy wasn’t that my career path became clearer overnight. It’s that I stopped needing certainty with every decision. I learned to regulate instead of control, and to trust the process AND myself. Since that journal entry I’ve made career moves I used to overthink into the ground, taken risks that would’ve paralyzed me before, and actually followed through on things that once felt too uncertain to even start. I’ve been using @betterhelp — they match you with a therapist based on your needs. Sessions take place on your schedule, and they offer support between sessions too. It’s what made therapy accessible for me when I actually needed it. If you’re in that place right now — stuck at a crossroads, needing certainty before you can move — I genuinely think therapy is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. #ad #betterhelpparter

The baby shower. The gender reveal. The newborn photos. But nobody asks how you're doing. Episode 1 of Motherhood With You is live. Hosted by therapist Sonni Williams, LPC, PMH-C, new and expecting moms get honest about what postpartum actually feels like. The anxiety nobody warned you about. The isolation. The pieces of yourself that go quiet the moment you become someone's mother. Here's what happens when moms finally name it: 87% go on to start therapy, most within 5 days. That's how fast things can change. 🤍 Full episode at the link in bio. And if you know a mom who needs this, send it her way. 💌 #MotherhoodWithYou #Postpartum #NewMom #MaternalMentalHealth #WithYou

There’s a specific kind of lonely that comes with always being the person who just figures it out herself. For me that was the fear that new people just… wouldn’t like me. A feeling I could never quite name until I started talking to someone who could. That’s what therapy actually does. Not fix you. Just help you understand yourself a little better.
