Mental health is just as important as physical health. In Chile, where 1 in 3 people face a mental health issue in their lifetime, access to psychologists remains a challenge. Online therapy is changing that.
Multiple studies published in journals like Journal of Medical Internet Research and Psychological Medicine demonstrate that online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, depression, and stress. The WHO also endorses online mental health as a valid care modality.
At VidaMente, an online psychology session starts from $23,000 CLP. In comparison, an in-person private session in Santiago can cost between $50,000 and $100,000. Online therapy makes mental health accessible to many more Chileans.
