Check out this excellent article about how big tech third parties (Headway, Alma, etc) are messing with therapy as we know it. If you find it valuable and important I hope you will also share it widely.

A brief excerpt:

“But if we are to improve access, outcomes, and clinician sustainability, attention must shift from solely what interventions are delivered to how therapy is structured. Psychotherapy cannot be separated from the conditions under which it occurs. At a minimum, this means protecting the frame to ensure psychotherapy has a chance to be effective. Frequency and intensity of sessions must be based on clinical need. Confidentiality must be defended, and not limited to policies that meet minimal compliance. Transparency of financial matters, ownership, and payment structures is necessary. We do not need more middlemen and more administrators. We need them to get out of the way so we can safeguard clinicians’ authority over treatment decisions.”
