from anxiety and injury.Pewdiepie Betterhelp Copyright Strike. and after that likewise from the perspective that i have actually utilized better help as a customer so today i’m going to talk about what it takes to be a psychotherapist in the u.s and what it takes to be a better health therapist i also wish to show you a little a trick on the better help website that permits you to take a look at who the therapists are in your area read their profiles and select one that resonates with you so it’s something that’s a little bit not quite hidden but type of hidden on the website and i’m going to show you at the end and in between i likewise wish to resolve some criticisms that i’ve heard of better help therapists and i’ve listened to on youtube evaluation videos so let’s start so i very first wish to make it clear that betterhelp just hires certified specialists and they match people with a licensed expert in your own state since in the u.s we have this function that the therapist requires to be certified in the state where you reside so what does it require accredited now certainly that varies a bit state by state but i’m going to walk you through what it takes to be
licensed in connecticut where i live and after that tell you what else is required to be a much better health therapist so to end up being licensed you need a graduate degree in one of a handful of locations so you could have a psychology phd or a master’s degree in clinical social work or marital relationship and household treatment or expert therapy and after that once you have your academic degree you require 3 000 hours of direct customer experience while you are being supervised by an expert who holds the license you’re seeking and you need a minimum of a hundred hours of guidance with this person in which you discuss how you are offering treatment to your clients so normally accomplishing this many clinical hours and this much guidance probably averages around three or 4 years of experience to get the scientific hours to even then sit for the written test and after that you sit for the written examination and then if you pass you get licensed so that’s what’s required to be licensed as a psychotherapist in connecticut and then if you want to work for better help you require a minimum of three years of experience after you’ve been certified so you are definitely not getting interns on better help you’re getting a therapist with an academic degree a solid number of scientific hours and a minimum of three years of experience after they have actually been accredited so there’s an incredibly popular video on youtube which slams better help therapists and calls them lay counselors which is simply not true and the factor she calls them late counselors i want to discuss that briefly is she says one they don’t recommend medication and two they do not deal with court orders so let me address those 2 things due to the fact that in the u.s as a psychotherapist you can not recommend medication unless you also take place to be an md or an lprn the only individuals in the united states who can prescribe psychiatric medications or medical doctors could be your general practitioner or a psychiatrist Pewdiepie Betterhelp Copyright Strike
or a certified professional nurse who’s had specific training in psychiatric medications so those are the only two kinds of individuals who can prescribe medication the vast bulk of psychotherapists do not prescribe medication because they don’t hold those other degrees and where i live really very couple of psychiatrists also do treatment most psychiatrists focus on recommending the medication and leave the treatment to the psychotherapists so that is not a valid criticism and after that the 2nd criticism that they don’t handle court orders i will tell you in my own private practice i truly attempted to avoid dealing with court orders and i will share with you why most of the time what would occur is i would get a phone call from someone who would remain in a panic asking to have five sessions in a week since they needed to go to court next week and they were trying to satisfy the requirement that they had received probably five or 6 months back now i comprehend that this occurs i truly do however that’s not in fact therapy that’s actually doing something to satisfy a court order and it’s not the type of work i ever did and probably for many court-ordered therapy there are community companies that can provide that type of therapy in a more efficient manner so i simply wished to deal with those two criticisms due to the fact that i do not feel they stand so prior to i share with you this little technique on the website for better help in terms of having the ability to discover somebody in your own location that you resonate with i ‘d like to say 2 things one is that the fit in between you and a therapist is extremely important and the design of a therapist makes a huge distinction how comfy you feel with them how safe you feel with them and you might go to someone who has an extremely expensive rate at a private practice and still not enjoy with the therapist right i have actually had customers who’ve concerned me after seeing someone in my location where they were paying a high private practice rate and they come into my workplace and they ‘d say my prior therapist did nothing but discuss herself well that’s not appropriate so if that occurs to you either with a private practice or a community company or on better help switch therapists and if a therapist ever does something egregious you can report it to the state licensing board so definitely the quality of the therapist differs no matter what their training or background and you need to discover someone who’s an excellent suitable for you and actually one of the

advantages i feel of the much better health platform is that you have this capability to easily switch therapists so there’s some responsibility in that since obviously if better help has a therapist and people are always switching far from that individual they get that feedback right if you go to someone in a private practice what do you tell and after that it’s extremely difficult to discover reviews unless you get an individual recommendation to a private practice therapist so i do think that’s sort of an advantage of the better help platform that you can read evaluations you can write a review you can offer feedback and you can change therapists if you require to so prior to i share with you how you can go onto the betterhelp platform and select a therapist who resonates for you in your area however i do have a link listed below this video that supplies you with 10 off your very first month i am an affiliate of better help i am not a therapist on the platform and i no longer handle psychotherapy customers just as an fyi since i get that question a lot however i associated with them since individuals all over the nation and in fact all over the world contact me routinely to state that they do not have access to mental health services so better help offer service in 140 different nations 40 different languages i remain in positioning with their mission so there is a link listed below this video that will provide you 10 percent off your very first month so if you go to the betterhelp.com site you really don’t get the choice up here to put your postal code in and see what therapists are offered you have 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 choose baltimore maryland i do not live there
