ReGain - Couples Therapy

I think this form of therapy is very helpful and convenient, however of course no therapy is helpful if the people don’t want to actually work on the issues themselves during the time out of session. Compared to traditional therapy copay prices I feel like you get almost more value here because of the written sessions. My only issue I have is with the app itself is that there isn’t like an auto-save with the message center. I would suggest you write out in something that autosaves like a separate word processor or notepad / google drive and then paste it into the app. Sometimes if you exit the app or website you can lose what you write which is very frustrating lol but it’s avoidable & I’m sure app developers can fix that in the future. I was lucky to be matched with a great therapist right away who we feel comfortable with and already it has helped our relationship! I think it just helps have peace of mind to have an outlet to dedicate to your issues rather than have them linger around.

I have tried this two different counselors. The first one kept sending generic worksheets and never really asked questions pertaining to my specific situation. The second guy. I had hope for him. He seemed great at first. We had one live session which he wanted to talk on the phone but I just wanted to message. He seemed annoyed by that. After our session he did do a check in later that day but I was busy so I responded the next day and answered some questions he had asked and shared some thoughts I had. He later messaged that I should schedule a session. He didn’t acknowledge or reply to anything I actually said. 1. I don’t want to talk on the phone yet he keeps pushing it. 2. All of the sessions he had available was for the following week and non of the days actually fit into my schedule since I work 10 hour shifts and don’t want to spend my breaks or short lunch on the phone. 3. I just felt like he could have at least replied to at least something I said. I mean I know unlimited doesn’t mean my counselor is unlimited available to me but when he does check in I mean like say something. I thought the benefit to a platform like this is that one can share thoughts as they arrive. I just feel like this has been a waste not once but twice. And I’m not even sure if this is like real counseling.

My boyfriend and I love each other but because of our differences cultural we were having a hard time to adjust to each other. We thought that we couldn’t have time to go to a counseling in person or even afford it but I found this app and we decided to try. It has been very good and we have our meeting online in the comfort of our house. Our counselor is very patient and firm at the same time and can point what we need to improve and some other stuffs that we couldn’t realize by ourselves. It is very easy to accept when it comes from someone outside of our circle. We feel secure and we feel safe. We are very happy with this and we are doing much better in our relationship. We try to follow all the homework and now I can tell that we are working as a team.

My boyfriend and I signed up to work through our issues. The first counselor we were matched with didn’t even bother introducing himself we had to message him to get started. He was slow to respond and milked our free trial. Once it got into the paid week ( which was thankfully discounted ) it took a few more days of chatting and we finally booked a session. THE COUNSELOR DIDN'T SHOW UP. We were livid. We kept messaging. No response. We dropped the counselor and emailed support to complain. They told us they don’t do refunds for missed sessions but they had extended our subscription a week so we didn’t have to pay for that week. We found another counselor - this guy at least introduced himself. We expressed our experience had not been good so far. We already had two weeks wasted and we’re eager to start. I allowed the counselor to pick the appointment time. Guess what? HE MISSED THE APPOINTMENT. We waited 45 minutes. Two counselors. Two missed appointments. Wasted time. I emailed support to let them know another counselor had missed our session and I was canceling. Their response? They confirmed the cancellation and refunded what we had paid. No explanation or apology. At least we got back what we paid but what a waste.

I signed up for the BetterHelp app and was matched with a counselor within an hour. While this is ideal, I didn’t think the therapist was a good fit for me as he had a very theoretical approach (speaking more on the science of psychology) while my interests were in a more direct (or simply realistic/humane conversation). I requested to cancel my betterhelp subscription and switch to ReGain so I could do therapy with my partner. I was then connected with the very same therapist again. I tried to reassign myself to a new therapist but the regain app did not show me an option for that. Even more frustrating is that, I have tried emailing support and they say they reach back in 1 business day but this is not the case for me so far. I tried calling but the available phone number is simply a customer service center that relays your message as an email to support. How is there no support available to instantly assist customers with technical issues? Now I have paid for a weekly service where I am in my 3rd day and I have not received any help whatsoever.
