Redditors Discover Therapists Aren't Real

The whole scandal was about non liscenced therapists being on the platform and better help doing no vetting on who's offering services on their platform.

No, that is NOT what their scandals have ever been about.

Your research is laughably bad lol

Also tons and tons of youtube vids you can watch on the topic.

I just read the entire article you linked, nothing in there at all about non licensed therapists being on the platform. Care to quote the relevant section?

I didn't even bother reading it because this is such a widely known controversy I figured I could pick any article. Here's another for you:

The article you linked literally says the opposite of what you claimed. The complaint was that users could not SEE the credentials of the therapist they're seeing, not that the platform is using unlicensed therapists.

Obviously you got a terrible therapist in your anecdote, but how does this connect to criticizing BetterHelp? What do you want them to do, screen providers for their political views or conspiratorial tendencies? How would they even do that? How would something like that even come up when providers sign up to participate in the BetterHelp network?

That's why it's a scam. There's no screening at all. Your personal beliefs should never even come up if you're supposedly a professional.

What do you mean by “screening”? This is never done in the healthcare industry. Do you think BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, or any other traditional health carrier screens their providers? They don't.

What the frick are you talking about. You're telling me that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE in the healthcare industry screens their professionals? This is utter bullshit. You work for BetterHelp don't you?

You don't know what you're talking about. There's no reason for an employer to screen HCP when they're licensed. The screening is done by the regulatory body that does the licensing, and any employer who hires you just has to check to make sure you're licensed and able to practice. Why would they run a full background check or whatever on you? Anything serious that would prevent you from being hired would have resulted in your license being suspended or revoked.

There's plenty reasons for it. But you're so sure about it.

Are therapists predisposed to having mental illnesses?

I've never heard of such a thing. Never heard of any other health carrier screening doctors for mental illness. That seems completely ludicrous.

Therapists for a therapy service not being screened for mental health? I had to fill out a psychological survey to apply at fricking Best Buy.

Doctors don't go through any such screenings when they join provider networks, their qualifications are professional in nature — meaning, that they are accredited providers of the services they perform. This accreditation is not done by any health insurance carriers or provider network administrators. So BetterHelp does not do it in the same way that Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn't do it. Whoever your insurance carrier is, they do not “screen” any doctors that participate in their networks in the matter that you are describing.

You're just saying stuff. Do you have some kind of source on this?

Are you a therapist? What are your credentials? To obtain those credentials you didn't have a psychological screening ever? Wow.
