I’m asking because I’ve read bad reviews, but id still like to know what people here think
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
Has anyone heard of moodsmith.com theres online course to get over hocd and was wondering if anyone had tried it and if it’s worth it?
What are everyone’s experiences using SSRIs for OCD? I’m not currently medicated and was curious if they actually help.
Is NOCD super expensive? I told my dad I really need some help and he offered to help me find online therapy. I have looked at betterhelp a little bit nervous they can’t help me, has anyone used them? Any other recommendations. I have no diagnosis of anything and never been to a therapist so I don’t even know if this is actually OCD that I’m dealing with. I’m dealing with intrusive thoughts and images, ruminating a lot on the past and worried I was a really bad person in my teens without realizing. I don’t know where to go to find help, my father is paying so I don’t want his money to be wasted and I have no idea what to do.
