Noah Cyrus is opening up about how therapy transformed her life during one of her darkest periods, sharing a deeply personal story of recovery from addiction and loss in the first edition of Tuned In With Billboard, presented by BetterHelp. The 25-year-old country singer, known for hits like "July," revealed that therapy "completely saved my life" after she found herself battling addiction and grieving the loss of her grandmother while feeling increasingly isolated from her family. Today, she's happier than she's ever been-engaged to fashion designer fiancé Pinkus, who heads the COLORS Clothing Company, touring in support of her critically acclaimed second album, and looking forward to starting a family. BetterHelp's Partnership with Noah Cyrus The partnership between Noah Cyrus and BetterHelp for the Tuned In With Billboard series represents a meaningful collaboration between one of the world's largest online therapy platforms and an artist committed to destigmatizing mental health care. BetterHelp, which has served over 5 million people worldwide, provides access to licensed mental health professionals through an online platform that makes therapy more accessible and convenient. For Cyrus, who has been open about her struggles with depression and anxiety, the collaboration offers an opportunity to share her personal story while encouraging others to seek the help they need. The partnership aligns with BetterHelp's mission to remove traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health support available to everyone who needs it. A Journey Through Darkness In the emotional interview, Cyrus reflected on a particularly difficult time around age 20, when she was struggling with addiction to downers and had distanced herself from the people closest to her, including her mother. "Whenever I was 20, turning 21-just about 21-I was really deep in addiction to downers," Cyrus explained. "I had recently lost my grandmother at the time, and it just felt like I had pushed myself so far away from my family and my mom, who I'm so close with, and I had really just gotten myself in such a dark place, and I felt so alone." The singer, who is the younger sister of pop star Miley Cyrus, described how reaching out for help marked the beginning of her recovery journey. "Help to me looked like first reaching out to my therapist and being really honest about the struggles that I was facing," she said. "So I had a lot to tackle and a lot to uncover, and one that started with the addiction, but there were so many layers underneath the addiction." The Power of Therapy Resources Looking back on that period, Cyrus became visibly emotional reflecting on her transformation. "When I look back on it, I think about how I didn't know at the time that I would be at a place where I am standing here now in an interview like this, and I don't talk about this ever, so I'm totally losing it right now," she said. "Sorry, like I feel so lucky for being able to have the resources of therapy." The resources and tools she gained through therapy have proven invaluable even as she continues her recovery. Though Cyrus acknowledged she still gets triggered from time to time, she now has the skills to handle situations that would have been overwhelming in the past. "I encourage [therapy] because of how much I can just sit here and say from my personal experience how much it helped, and changed, and saved my life in so many ways," Cyrus shared, hoping her story might offer others the same hope and recovery it gave her. How BetterHelp Makes Therapy Accessible BetterHelp's platform addresses many of the barriers that prevent people from seeking therapy. The service connects individuals with a network of 30,000 licensed mental health professionals, including psychologists, licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed professional counselors. All therapists must maintain proper state licensure and demonstrate at least 1,000 hours of practical experience. The platform offers multiple ways to communicate with therapists, including video sessions, phone calls, live chat, and asynchronous messaging. This flexibility allows individuals to engage with therapy in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels-particularly valuable for those dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges that might make traditional in-person appointments difficult. BetterHelp's 2024 data shows that 40% of new members were experiencing therapy for the first time in their lives, suggesting that the platform successfully reaches individuals who might not otherwise seek mental health support. The platform's approach to accessibility aligns with Cyrus's message about the importance of removing barriers to care.
