This company really sucks

This company really sucks! I don't know why my provider went this route but it is horrible! For a place dealing with mental health it will make you go off of the rails like I feel I am. They still haven't done my secondary insurance after months.

I loved the experience until I had a billing issue

I really liked the initial experience of finding and being matched with a therapist. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up between EAP coverage and regular insurance, and the therapist I was matched with did not accept EAP. She sent me a kind message explaining that she would need to discontinue because she did not personally accept EAP.

I then contacted Rula support to ask what I thought was a very straightforward question: could I stop using the EAP benefit and simply have my visits billed through my regular insurance instead?

What followed was one of the most frustrating support experiences I’ve had. The support is online-only, and the conversations felt extremely rushed. On more than one occasion, the representative moved immediately to a “next step” and ended the chat before I had an opportunity to respond.

Afterward, I received an emailed transcript of one of those conversations. The transcript showed several messages from the representative indicating they were waiting for me to respond before eventually closing the chat. Those messages were never displayed to me during the live conversation. From my perspective, the chat simply ended abruptly while I was actively responding. Whether this was a technical issue or something else, the transcript did not reflect what I actually saw during the interaction, which was concerning.

I was then told someone else would contact me by email within 1–2 business days. When that response arrived, it gave me a lengthy explanation of what an Employee Assistance Program is and how EAP billing differs from insurance billing- but still did not answer the question I had asked: whether I could simply stop using EAP and bill my regular insurance instead.

The therapist-matching experience itself was excellent. Unfortunately, the support experience afterward was so difficult, circular, and poorly handled that I would not use the platform again.

My therapist is simply a perfect fit

My therapist is simply a perfect fit, clear, concise, thought provoking insight with a great spirit. I think being able to tell rula who you are looking for and then giving you options of who to be able to choose rather than them choosing for you works better.

Best therapist, best service.

After 30 years of being in therapy, I finally found a good therapist with Rula. Jessyca is amazing. Her approach is perfect. She adjusts it to suit each client. She remembers things about her clients and always works with them.

The booking process is simple, the portal is easy to navigate, and choosing a provider is made easy with all of the information they provide about each one.

I highly recommend using Rula to find a provider. I had one provider that just didn’t work for me, but Rula made it easy to find someone who did.

Choose Rula. You won’t regret it.

Rula is everything I've needed!!!

From a quick google search, the top providers come up! I was able to get a tele-health session the very next day (they offer in person too.) The website offers filters which help narrow down the care you need. It also takes a huge variety of insurances that lower costs if needed! And when you book an appointment it is so easy. I even had to call customer service for a little issue with logging in and the lady was so sweet and helpful. Overall, I was able to find the exact help I needed and I love the LCSW I talked to🥹. I would so recommend Rula to anyone.

Paid $300 / Week & Denied Payment plan & Patient Care

I was using Rula for almost two years. My insurance paid 5 appointments in 2025 and in August 2026 they took the payment back leaving me with a balance of over $600. I'm self pay now have paid every appointment on time $150!! I was denied a payment plan even thought I was paying $300 a week, one for my appointment that week and one payment for an old appointment. I had never been late on a payment and was still denied a payment plan due to a "technical transition". I finally paid off that amount within about 3 weeks. My provider books a month out so I will be out of therapy for about two months which happened suddenly. Then I paid off the balance today, messaged the customer service center and was told they put a ticket into the billing team but would not provide a window of time. Then finally said they were escalating to billing right now and then disconnected the chat. The rep was kind I know she doesn't make the policies. Rula has changed, paying $300 a week is a lot and being denied a payment plan so I could continue my patient care.

Therapy prevented by dishonest and incompetent tech support

Therapist was fine, site itself and tech support is incompetent and non-existent. I've never gotten a password reset email, their platform wouldn't let me message my regular therapist, and support either lied to me or ignored what I said. It's pretty clearly a vibe-coded website and the company has no one capable of fixing it. They also didn't notify me that the practitioner was on vacation and thus not renewing my meds.

Easy to use and quick to respond

Booking process was very easy and customer service was very responsive! Scheduling a series of sessions from the beginning is also very convenient and canceling or rescheduling is also very easy
