The use of the word “bonus” refers to an incentive provided to independent contractors. It does not imply an employment relationship nor entitle any independent contractors to employee benefits.
Please note
BetterHelp currently requires an independent clinical license. Interns and clinicians who require supervision to provide therapy are not eligible at this time. Substance abuse counselors, school counselors, registered nurses, career counselors, Christian counselors, and business coaches are not eligible unless they also hold an eligible independent mental health license.
