How many people here want access to mental health resources but don't?
If so, what's stopping you from access mental health resources? Professional help availability, money, time, stigma?

Have an interesting business idea but looking to validate it, thanks!

Time - it often takes a. lot. of. time(!) to find a good therapist, both in researching and scheduling, but also taking time off work to do the intro meeting and see if they’re a good fit.

I did and have talked to multiple therapists. Unfortunately they are not helpful for my situation. I find it challenging to find a truly insightful and inspiring therapist.

I HIGHLY recommend researching the preferred psychotherapy approach(es) of each potential therapist you find (they usually include this in their bio).

Some therapists specialize in digging deep into your past to help you learn more about your present behavior (i.e. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) while others mainly focus on helping you overcome a specific roadblock or concern (i.e. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy). It could be that you’ve met with therapists that don’t specialize in the type of therapy you’re looking for, which is why you left disappointed. Even though it takes a while to find a really good therapist that you jive with, it’s really worth it!

Money :( I would totally use therapy and it actually has been amazing but it’s so expensive

Hi Fishes,

Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!

Second year considering leaving NY biglaw for a few public interest options. Partly for mental health reasons.
