Not good from my opinion, I had one appointment and the woman I was paired with didn’t give me any advice besides reaching out to my doctor to get medication

No, their “therapists” aren’t trained or certified. Bad reviews for a reason!

^^^^yup basically told me I was overreacting too when I gave them a run down of my situation.

I had one and she was really nice and supportive of me but I think I got lucky. I needed her services mostly for talking about trauma. I didn’t need any help with other mental illnesses. It was just too expensive for me a college student. I actually miss her because she made me feel validated and we did a lot of work through trauma. I don’t know about her how legit her certification is though. If I’m being honest, there are some good certified ones and there are some that aren’t. It’s just luck of the draw which is definitely shouldn’t be that way. I probably won’t use it again because of the cost, but personally I had a good therapist.

I don’t know if it matters to you, but I was able to look up my therapist. She is licensed in my state. She works for many services and just used BetterHelp as one of her platforms during the pandemic. There are some certified therapists there but BetterHelp “doesn’t guarantee a certified therapist” which sucks. She is a LCSW and is verified through many places. I’m interested in seeing her through her own private services instead of BetterHelp because she is very good. Overall I wouldn’t recommend. Too expensive and you’re not guaranteed a professional. I hope that helps!

I agree that it could be luck of the draw. I didn't really click with my therapist the first couple sessions, but by number three I was feeling better about it and it was helpful. I've also heard some other bad things about the platform. But I could see myself potentially going back to it, depending on the situation.

Thank you everyone for replying! it’s really helpful. It seems to me that betterhelp is either a hit or a miss, but mostly a miss. I’ll have to see what else is out there

I had a therapy assessment today (not on here) and she said she is gonna put me forward for CBT and said I had generalised anxiety because I worry about different things, rather than it being OCD where you worry about one thing, but I do compulsions so I’m confused. Will CBT help even if I do have OCD ? my main worry is harm and I told her other things like fear or fainting or switches being off but she said I’ve got anxiety and I definitely feel like I’ve got ocd

Is it normal to think your therapist does not know how to treat ocd? What is a good therapist in ocd?

hey guys, i've been seeing a general therapist because i didn't know if i had ocd or not, but then she did end up diagnosing me with ocd so now i know i do (i also went through nocd and they diagnosed me too but stopped because its too expensive) the thing is, my current therapist is a general therapist and is NOT specialized in ocd care and hasn't given ERP before, she's learning for me and we've done two exporsure sessions but i can't stop from thinking about how she's not the upmost qualified for this, she's helping though and i've gotten better since i've started seeing her, idk if it's just my ocd being picky or what, anyone go through something similar and have any advice?
