Class Action Lawsuit in CA Against Better Help

It's crucial to stay informed about changes affecting licensed therapists in CA. In 2018, AB5 made it illegal for many therapists to work as 1099 independent contractors. Companies like BetterHelp, Talkspace, Headway, Grow Therapy, Alma and others are under investigation for this practice.

At Grow Through Life Counseling, we shifted to W2 models in 2018 to comply with the law, despite losing team members and facing challenges in hiring. Unfortunately, job postings offering higher rates for 1099 roles can be misleading, leading to tax consequences for unaware therapists.

These companies have also faced scrutiny for data practices. Progress is being made in holding them accountable. If you've worked for BetterHelp in CA, check out the class action suit link: https://bivens.plaintip.com/index.php/betterhelp/
