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!

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

A question!
Hi everybody! I started with a therapist who’s super pricey outside of NOCD, when I had mentioned that I’m struggling with OCD she didn’t seem too well versed she said oh so you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts? Lady you don’t know the half of it!! But I’m afraid of continuing because I don’t want to waste $180 a week for what is sold as someone who can treat and help with OCD then turns out to just be talking about stuff I’ve already talked about with past therapists! Anyway onto the question at hand! If I join NOCD and they don’t cover my insurance but I pay out of pocket fora real OCD/ERP specialist because I really need the help! Is NOCD going to help me? Or am I going to waste my time and should I keep trying my hardest to find ERP specialists on Google. I’m exhausted I just want to know I’m going to get help and relief from this before I put more money into therapy Any advice or honesty would help greatly! ❤️👈🏼

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
