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’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️

Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally don’t know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks

I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
