Ratings and reviews

I used the chat feature when I desperately needed support. The "professional" disconnected after 10 minutes (It hadn't been more than 30 seconds since they asked me a question which I was typing a response to when they left. I didn't close the app or anything.) There also seemed to be a language barrier (I only speak English).

Never thought I'd see the day therapy turned Freemium. What a flipping scam. In between a therapist that went out of her way to dismiss and invalidate my experiences to the fact that the chat services were extremely slow, I can thoroughly say this is a bad app.

The texting services it provides is mediocre at best. Scripted, with a range of helpfulness. Some are great, some are not, and all of them type super slow. The first person I talked to suggested scheduling recurring counseling sessions (why I tried mySSP in the first place) and despite getting confirmation emails, two different counselors didn't show up. This app honestly caused me more problems than it's worth. I would've recommended it in the past, but not anymore.
