from stress and anxiety and trauma.Felix Betterhelp Pewdiepie. and then likewise from the viewpoint that i’ve used better help as a customer so today i’m going to talk about what it requires a psychotherapist in the u.s and what it takes to be a better health therapist i likewise want to show you a bit of a technique on the better help site that permits you to look at who the therapists remain in your area read their profiles and pick one that resonates with you so it’s something that’s a little bit not quite concealed but sort of hidden on the site and i’m going to show you at the end and in between i likewise want to attend to some criticisms that i have actually heard of better help therapists and i have actually listened to on youtube evaluation videos so let’s start so i first wish to make it clear that betterhelp only employs licensed professionals and they match individuals with a licensed professional in your own state since in the u.s we have this role that the therapist requires to be certified in the state where you reside so what does it require certified now clearly that differs a bit state by state however i’m going to stroll you through what it takes to be
licensed in connecticut where i live and then inform you what else is needed to be a better health therapist so to end up being certified you require an academic degree in among a handful of locations so you could have a psychology phd or a master’s degree in clinical social work or marriage and household treatment or expert counseling and after that when you have your academic degree you need 3 000 hours of direct customer experience while you are being monitored by a specialist who holds the license you’re looking for and you need a minimum of a hundred hours of supervision with this person in which you talk about how you are providing treatment to your customers so normally accomplishing this numerous medical hours and this much supervision most likely averages around 3 or four years of experience to get the medical hours to even then sit for the written examination and after that you sit for the composed test and then if you pass you get certified so that’s what’s needed to be certified as a psychotherapist in connecticut and then if you want to work for better help you require a minimum of 3 years of experience after you have actually been certified so you are definitely not getting interns on better help you’re getting a therapist with a graduate degree a strong variety of clinical hours and a minimum of three years of experience after they have actually been certified so there’s a very popular video on youtube which slams better help therapists and calls them lay therapists which is just not true and the reason she calls them late counselors i want to talk about that briefly is she states one they don’t prescribe medication and 2 they do not handle court orders so let me resolve those two things since in the u.s as a psychotherapist you can not prescribe medication unless you likewise take place to be an md or an lprn the only individuals in the united states who can prescribe medical physicians or psychiatric medications could be your general practitioner or a psychiatrist Felix Betterhelp Pewdiepie
or a licensed expert nurse who’s had particular training in psychiatric medications so those are the only two types of individuals who can recommend medication the huge majority of psychotherapists do not recommend medication because they don’t hold those other degrees and where i live very extremely couple of psychiatrists also do treatment most psychiatrists concentrate on prescribing the medication and leave the therapy to the psychotherapists so that is not a legitimate criticism and after that the second criticism that they do not deal with court orders i will inform you in my own private practice i truly attempted to avoid handling court orders and i will share with you why the majority of the time what would happen is i would get a call from somebody who would be in a panic asking to have 5 sessions in a week due to the fact that they had to go to court next week and they were trying to fulfill the requirement that they had actually received most likely five or six months ago now i comprehend that this takes place i really do but that’s not really therapy that’s in fact doing something to satisfy a court order and it’s not the type of work i ever did and most likely for most court-ordered therapy there are neighborhood firms that can supply that type of therapy in a more efficient way so i simply wished to address those 2 criticisms since i do not feel they stand so before i show you this little trick on the site for better help in regards to being able to discover someone in your own location that you resonate with i wish to state 2 things one is that the fit in between you and a therapist is extremely essential and the style of a therapist makes a huge distinction how comfortable you feel with them how safe you feel with them and you might go to someone who has a very pricey rate at a private practice and still not enjoy with the therapist right i’ve had customers who’ve concerned me after seeing someone in my location where they were paying a high private practice rate and they enter my workplace and they ‘d say my previous therapist did nothing however discuss herself well that’s not proper so if that takes place to you either with a private practice or a community agency or on better help change therapists and if a therapist ever does something egregious you can report it to the state licensing board so absolutely the quality of the therapist varies no matter what their training or background and you need to discover someone who’s a good suitable for you and actually one of the
Does BetterHelp offer out-of-pocket counseling?
advantages i feel of the better health platform is that you have this ability to easily switch therapists so there’s some accountability in that because undoubtedly if better help has a therapist and people are always switching away from that person they get that feedback right if you go to somebody in a private practice what do you tell and then it’s really tough to find evaluations unless you get an individual suggestion to a private practice therapist so i do think that’s sort of an advantage of the better help platform that you can check out evaluations you can write a review you can provide feedback and you can change therapists if you need to so before i share with you how you can go onto the betterhelp platform and choose a therapist who resonates for you in your location but i do have a link listed below this video that offers you with 10 off your first month i am an affiliate of better help i am not a therapist on the platform and i no longer take on psychotherapy customers just as an fyi since i get that question a lot but i connected with them because people all over the country and actually all over the world contact me regularly to say that they do not have access to psychological health services so better help offer service in 140 various nations 40 various languages i’m in alignment with their mission so there is a link below this video that will provide you 10 percent off your first month so if you go to the betterhelp.com website you actually do not get the choice up here to put your postal code in and see what therapists are readily available you need to scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll see here discover a therapist so you can put in any city in the united states i’m going to pick baltimore maryland i do not live there
