from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Mental health care is in high demand right now, and there aren’t enough therapists to meet the need. A lot of people have turned to mental health apps - but is that really therapy? It's a start, but do these apps provide the level of help patients need? Plus, some people have concerns over privacy and therapist burnout when apps are involved. So we asked clinical psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman to help us understand the pros and cons of therapy apps, what to look out for, and how to find the mental health care that's best for you.Thanks to TJ Walsh, psychotherapist and founder of TJ Walsh Counseling, for providing background information for this episode.If you’re looking for low-cost therapy, you can find some options through Open Path Collective.
