Mixed Experience with Counseling Services
The reviewer, Hunter Greene, shares their mediocre experience with a counseling service, rating it 3 stars out of 5.
Disappointing Counseling Experience
Hunter Greene's experience with their counselor, an intern, was underwhelming. They did not feel encouraged or understood regarding their concerns, and the counselor's responses were limited to sympathetic nods. The reviewer felt that they did not receive any valuable tools or advice that they couldn't have found through a quick internet search.
Lack of Follow-up
Moreover, Hunter Greene was disappointed with the lack of follow-up from the counseling service. After not scheduling appointments for a few weeks, they did not receive a single follow-up email or call, implying that their presence was not valued.
Comparison to Better Health App
Hunter Greene compares their experience unfavorably to their experience with the Better Health app, where they found an experienced counselor who checked in regularly and provided them with practical tools to manage their feelings of overwhelm.
