Become a Better Partner.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and we are proud to be a part of a community that advocates for access to mental health care through talk therapy. Jameela, and so many more women, have had their lives changed because of Better! More of Jameela’s story at the link in bio.

Not knowing who to see is the #2 reason women aren’t in therapy. Finding the right therapist from a broad Google search can be daunting, confusing, and become an additional hurdle in your process to growth. These 5 questions are a simple place to start! Whether you are referred by a friend or their online profile seems reputable - it’s a good idea to call and ask questions to find the right fit for you. #betterin12 #betterbeforebest #soulhealth #healthywomen #mindset #wellness #mindfulness #therapytips #counselinghelp #mentalhealth #therapy #counseling #alabamamentalhealth

What people think self care looks like ➡️ what it actually looks like

Depends on the dip

Meet our Founders - Hi! We are Courtney & Joel Hancock. Better is not at all about us but we wanted to quickly share why we started it. Mark 12:31 says “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Many people know this phrase. But far too often it seems the focus is on the former part of the verse rather than the latter. Selflessness and loving our neighbor is emphasized, but what about the recipe for how to do this? If we’re supposed to love our neighbors “as ourselves,” we better love ourselves pretty freaking well, right? In other words, we can only love others as well as we love ourselves. But what does this really mean and how can we actually do this? This is our story. We believe when we needed it most, God gave us therapy as the avenue to personal growth, self-acceptance, and better relationships. And that’s what Better is all about: empowering women to access therapy so they can love themselves better and give better love to others. Through years of “doing the work” in therapy, and yes it is WORK, we have deepened our individual sense of self, grown in our spiritual lives, saved our marriage, healed from unimaginable pain, understood past trauma, and learned to have healthy relationships. We have seen the positive impact of therapy in the way we are now able to love each other, take care of ourselves, and show up for our people. As we continue on our own journey, we are excited to launch Better as an outlet to provide the same life-changing experience for women. After surveying hundreds of women living in Alabama, we found that 90% of them wish they could be in consistent counseling but are not due to finances. Our goal is to remove finances as an obstacle to receiving therapy services. At the end of the day, we believe this is how we make our world better.
