Ratings and reviews

Brightside has been really helpful. I used a different app/service previously, but they didn't work with insurance. The ability to use my insurance and work with providers on my phone or computer from where I'm comfortable has been a game changer for my mental health. I also love that you're not immediately paired with a provider. You get to look at profiles and work with someone you feel comfortable with.

The psychiatrists and therapists are good depending on who you have, and it is fairly easy to switch, however Brightside basically harasses you if you don't set your appointments in the perfect timeframe. The minimum you can see a therapist is once a month and the closer you get to the end of the month, you get emails vaguely threatening your membership. It's definitely a commitment but it's good if you just need something simple. Also hard to cancel.

I was matched quickly with counseling but both times I attempted the match was poor. The first counselor did not want to move forward feeling at a disadvantage using the virtual format and the 2nd had never used the service and unprepared for my session. Both sessions began 10 minutes late. Lessons are voiced by what sounds like a woman conjured in a lab to sound soothing which isn't soothing. Once you listen to a video it seems you can't re watch. Guided meditation is rushed. App terrible.
