Sometimes Good, Sometimes Not
During the pandemic my mental health took a rather drastic plummet. After struggling for a while, I started doing my research on finding remote mental health help that was affordable and could help get me back on track. I've been utilizing Cerebral for about 6 months now. In general, I love how easily accessible it was. Video calls to your prescriber and your therapist that you can access via the app even on your phone. The downfalls? You can't easily access your prescriber, the price is extremely expensive for the mediocre sessions I've received. When your therapist has to skip a week of therapy, you get a percentage discount on that months plan, however you get no reimbursement or even acknowledgement if your therapist/prescriber has a bad connection and it interrupts your entire session. I'm currently being charged $130 over the monthly plan that's advertised at $195. It feels as if Cerebral is trying to monopolize on the poor mental health the last 2 years has brought about to just about everyone. If you need to reach out to a "care coordinator" or customer support, you will never speak with the same person twice. Any inquiry I have is met with a response from someone I haven't even spoken to previously. Consistency is not key here. How are you expected to receive good service is there seems to be no communication behind the scenes? I've returned to update my review, taking away one star and leaving a very strong 2 star review after getting a reply to my customer support inquiry. I clearly stated the quality of my most recent therapy session and prescriber video calls were very unsatisfactory, and I was offered to be linked with a new therapist. I'm unsure how that addresses any of my concerns regarding poor quality of service. I continue staying with cerebral due to needing the medications I'm on. I've begun looking at other platforms that are less expensive. It's really not worth the money, at all.
