You a little a technique on the better help website …Danny Gonzalez Betterhelp…that permits you to look at who the therapists are in your area read their profiles and choose one that resonates with you so it’s something that’s a bit not quite covert but type of hidden on the site and i’m going to reveal you at the end and in between i also want to address some criticisms that i’ve heard of better help therapists and i’ve listened to on youtube evaluation videos so let’s begin so i first wish to make it clear that betterhelp only hires licensed professionals and they match people with a certified expert 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 undoubtedly that varies a bit state by state however i’m going to walk you through what it takes to be certified in connecticut where i live and after that tell you what else is needed to be a better health therapist so to become licensed you need a graduate degree in among a handful of areas so you could have a psychology phd or a master’s degree in scientific social work or marital relationship and family treatment or professional counseling and then as soon as you have your graduate degree you need 3 000 hours of direct customer experience while you are being monitored by a specialist who holds the license you’re seeking and you require a minimum of a hundred hours of supervision with this person in which you talk about how you are offering treatment to your clients so normally accomplishing this lots of clinical hours and this much supervision most likely averages around three or 4 years of experience to get the scientific hours to even then sit for the composed examination and after that you sit for the written examination and after that if you pass you get accredited so that’s what’s required to be licensed as a psychotherapist in connecticut and after that if you wish to work for better help you require a minimum of three years of experience after you have actually been accredited so you are definitely not getting interns on better help you’re getting a therapist with an academic degree a strong number of clinical hours and a minimum of 3 years of experience after they’ve been licensed so there’s
Lets talk about Danny Gonzalez Betterhelp
an incredibly popular video on youtube which slams better help therapists and calls them lay counselors which is just not real and the reason she calls them late counselors i wish to discuss that briefly is she states one they do not recommend medication and two they don’t handle court orders so let me deal with those two things since in the u.s as a psychotherapist you can not recommend medication unless you likewise occur to be an md or an lprn the only people in the united states who can prescribe medical physicians or psychiatric medications could be your general practitioner or a psychiatrist or a licensed expert nurse who’s had specific training in psychiatric medications so those are the only 2 kinds of people who can prescribe medication the large majority of psychotherapists do not recommend medication due to the fact that they do not hold those other degrees and where i live really very couple of psychiatrists also do treatment most psychiatrists focus on prescribing the medication and leave the therapy to the psychotherapists so that is not a valid criticism and then the 2nd criticism that they do not deal with court orders i will inform you in my own private practice i truly tried to avoid dealing with court orders and i will share with you why most of the time what would take place is i would get a telephone call from someone who would remain in a panic asking to have five sessions in a week due to the fact that they had to go to court next week and they were trying to meet the requirement that they had received most likely 5 or six months earlier now i comprehend that this occurs i really do however that’s not actually treatment that’s actually doing something to satisfy a court order and it’s not the kind of work i ever did and probably for a lot of court-ordered treatment there are neighborhood companies that can provide that type of therapy in a more Danny Gonzalez Betterhelp
reliable way so i simply wanted to deal with those two criticisms since i don’t feel they stand so before i show you this little technique on the website for better help in regards to having the ability to discover somebody in your own area that you resonate with i wish to say 2 things one is that the fit between you and a therapist is very crucial and the design of a therapist makes a big distinction how comfy you feel with them how safe you feel with them and you could go to somebody who has a really pricey rate at a private practice and still not be happy with the therapist right i have actually had customers who’ve concerned me after seeing someone in my area where they were paying a high private practice rate and they come into my office and they ‘d state my prior therapist did nothing but speak about herself well that’s not suitable so if that takes place to you either with a private practice or a community company or on better help switch therapists and if a therapist ever does something outright you can report it to the state licensing board so absolutely the quality of the therapist differs no matter what their training or background and you have to find somebody who’s a good fit for you and in fact one of the advantages i feel of the better health platform is that you have this ability to easily change therapists so there’s some responsibility because because obviously if better help has a therapist and individuals are always changing away from that individual they get that feedback right if you go to someone in a private practice what do you tell and then it’s really difficult to find evaluations unless you get a personal recommendation to a private practice therapist so i do think that’s sort of a benefit of the better help platform that you can check out reviews you can compose an evaluation you can supply feedback and you can switch therapists if you require to so prior to 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 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 because i get that question a lot however i associated with them due to the fact that
