In this special bonus episode, YBT deep dives into the world of online therapy platforms, such as Better Help (which YBT accidentally calls better ‘health’ due to health on the brain, sorry!), Talkspace, and others. YBT sheds light on the dark side of the online therapy business, such as ethical issues including HIPAA violations. YBT outlines pros/cons for both patients AND practitioners, and shares many anonymous testimonials from people who have been negatively impacted by these platforms.
YBT shares resources by outlining excellent platforms that are certified and accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) and are Hitrust-certified. In addition, YBT provides resources for inclusive and reputable online therapy finder services, to help ALL people access they help they need and deserve.
Therapy should help, not harm. YBT loudly advocates for patients and providers and sends love and support to those who have been negatively impacted.
