Everyone I know in this field, including therapist friends, is fully booked out. We've never seen such a demand for mental health support. I feel like we really are in a crisis. What are you all seeing?

Same here. I work contractual and the waitlist for just my office, not including the other satellite offices, is over 250 people. There's about a dozen therapists in this office.

Same. We’re always booked all the time. And the baseline stress is increasing too. There are no more quick episodes of care, no straightforward issues that are “easy.” The average is what used to be high acuity, and high acuity is completely and systemically unmanageable.

Same. It’s heard as a therapist to find a therapist for myself.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace?

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

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts?

In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

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. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump?
