I really think that I need therapy and my family also think so and tells me this in regular intervals.

But there are two main blockers with getting therapy:

  • Extreme long waiting list's, estimated waiting times of 1-3 years
  • I am so bad at doing stuff on time / arriving at appointment's, that this will fail any therapy where I have to arrive physically

I am thinking about getting online therapy, on a platform like for example BetterHelp, but I always hear bad things about these platforms.

Do anyone here as experience with such platforms? Do they keep the conversations private or sell them?

+1 on this from a therapist. BetterHelp often sucks, but that doesn't mean virtual therapy itself sucks

In addition to Open Path, if you need affordable private pay therapy, i made a firefox add on that lets you sort Psychology Today by price:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/psychology-today-price-sort/
Just set filters for:

  • your country/state
  • virtual availability
  • ADHD
  • whatever else you want
  • <$90
  • source
  • parent
