“My psychiatrist is great. She's always prepared and keeps track of my progress. Therapy is a different story. Tried to begin therapy twice and both times the "provider" cancelled at the last minute. This has planted deep roots of distrust in the therapy program and I cannot recommend participating in it. It's strange to receive submissions into a "drawing" for interacting with other departments at Brightside. It's a lottery, gambling, and not a great fit for people with impulse control issues. Again, more evidence of not really understanding the target community.”
“The lessons and regularly scheduled online meetings are very helpful. I have been using many of the techniques and they have helped my focus and mind relaxation.”
“I’ve been really happy with the ease of using the system and getting access to my medical provider. I’m still assessing how I will continue long term with Brightside. I came as the result of my psychiatrist of close to 20 yrs, retiring. So it will take me a bit to figure out how much talk therapy I’m interested in at this stage.”
“Yes. My therapist tells me I’m number one and I must take better care of myself more. I’m learning to not explode or overreact to situations and breathe and count to 100 or more.”
“It is a very good service concept. Virtual talk therapy is not very helpful, but psychiatry is. Scheduling app is poor... won't let you schedule more than 2 weeks out.”
“I love Brightside. They regularly check in to see how I'm doing... and even if I forget or procrastinate on replying, they don't forget about me. I really feel like I'm cared for. And the price is well worth the care I get from my provider and from Brightside overall. So happy I found this place!”
“Brightside has been great in a time where I didn't know where else to turn to. This platform has been helpful with learning how to manage in my daily life. Living a healthier life is the goal and trusting in Brightside Health has been one of the best choices I've made.”
“My therapist has helped me recognize triggers for depression & anxiety and how to approach my responses. My psychiatrist has changed my medication and that has helped as well. More work needed!”
“Brightside is great and I've tried many platforms. Easy to find right fit just tell them what you're looking for. Also easy to switch and love the lessons you can do in-between thri the app very helpful. Very easy to use and more useful then most.
I wrote what was I was looking for in a therapist and was given a selection to choose from. The first one at top of list easy a perfect match. Feel I have made progress here more so then in the past with other apps. Highly recommend”
“Brightside has been extremely helpful - during a very hard time when I was struggling I was able to get care and medication fast to help get out of depression. My therapist is amazing and has really helped me - I am looking forward to continuing talk therapy with her to improve my quality of life. I wasn't pleased with the first pyschiatrist I met with but switched to a new provider and like her better. I was able to get medication quickly which is helping tremendously.”
“Brightside is one of the best things that has happened to me. I’m finally getting the help that I need. My therapist is wonderful. She’s very understanding and I’m glad that I found her.”
