I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie.

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue.

Am I overthinking things?
