Brightside Health

My counselor was very good at getting me to open up. Her sense of humor and warmth put me at ease. She encouraged me to talk about things I wasn't aware were keeping me stuck. I would recommend Carol for anyone seeking therapy.

All through my treatment, my providers treated me very well and helped me come to understand myself better. The understanding actually makes it easier to handle myself along with the medicine. My provider is always so kind during quarterly meetings.

As a patient with Brightside for about 6 months, I have worked to try multiple dosages of medication and resolution. Though through many attempts, there has not seemed to be a change in my daily life. Brightside often does “check-ins” for you to tell them how you are doing. Though in many cases my evaluation numbers for depression and anxiety seemed to be inflated above what their chart considered normal, there is no follow up beyond this. These mental and emotional issues are not easy to live with, and when I do the evaluation I would expect follow up. Considering the fee associated with Brightside, it felt like more of a prescription mill rather than care from a doctor. There is no action on their end when your evaluation/check-in indicates that you are severely struggling.

I have received excellent results with all of the interactions I have had from the resources and my psychologist

Quick and easy

I have consistently received attentive and expert guidance from Dr. Slootsky.

Responds immediately to concerns. Is responsible in handling patients.

Caring and kindness

Very helpful

Easy to get started and continue therapy.

My therapist was nice, listening, and willing to give suggestions when necessary.

My therapist listens carefully, does not rush me, but directs my questions thoughtfully.

I have a very busy schedule and was looking for a way to meet with MH professionals that allowed me some flexibility with scheduling. This is my first time seeking MH help and Brightside has been great! The PMHNP I see for medication management and recommendations is very thorough and carefully listens to my concerns before prescribing me anything. The LCSW I speak with weekly/biweekly is very knowledgeable and holistic in her care; I have never once felt judged by her and it's helped me open up a lot to work through issues with trauma, anxiety, and depression. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend!

Easy refills, clear communication between provider and I.

Great therapist, psychiatrist, alway willing to help you better understanding just about anything your going through. Has helped me heal from losing my brother and mom. Idk if I could have gotten past either without help!

It’s a really great resource for people without insurance to cover mental health expenses. The app has really great services and they connect you to therapists and psychiatrists right away. The booking is easy and they check in on you often. The prices are also reasonable as well. I also love that you can use it anywhere in any state. As a recent college grad it’s been really helpful during my transition from my parents’ health insurance that didn’t work in my state.

I receive consistent care and compassion from my therapist and psychiatrist. I’m always able to reach out for support when I’m in between sessions.

I can tell my doc actually cares about my health.

Brightside has been great so far! The website is easy to use, the weekly check-ins are super helpful too and give me an idea of how I'm improving. I would recommend!

My doctors are kind and caring
