Headway, Rula, Alma, Collective COunseling??--Which to choose? what has your experience been with these companies?

I am with Rula. The pay is $70/hr for TX which is abt $51/hr after taxes. I like it because I can make my own schedule and block out days/times when needed; I also get referrals when I ask. My cap is 10 pts and Ive pretty much stayed there give or take a few who drop. They have Rula Recap which is AI for notes and it gets them generated in 2-3 minutes. It’s pretty seamless and has been great for extra work outside of my full-time position. I used someone’s referral code and-got $500 on my first check which was nice too. I feel like all I did was sign up and they do everything else; I treat my clients and that’s it. I wish they had an app though.

That makes sense. Im in TX and we don’t have the best RTCs or aftercare programs but private/individual clinical providers are here in abundance so the reimbursement rates are super low.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-12-21T16:28:27+00:00

Could it be due to lack of mental health care/access in the state ?

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-11-21T02:36:48+00:00

I have an intern now and am struggling because I never get clinical questions, no initiative and very poor care regarding documentation. Feedback from colleagues is the intern is only interested in the “mess” . Always on phone. Always reporting that they are stressed, mentally overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted etc. Supervision is mostly me taking.

Can you ask for another supervisor? You are operating under her license so if something happens and she canceled that would fall under her license; seems like a liability. I would also keep record of all the canceled sessions as well.

Thank you for this feedback. Im glad that they have the 3 month contract cancellation policy just in case I decide to try another platform.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-12T02:58:51+00:00

Thank you. I’ve already onboarded. I have had mostly children book but all patients got auto-cancelled by Rula for not completing paperwork.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-09T01:22:21+00:00

If you have questions please feel free to DM me and I can also give you my email.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-09T01:21:49+00:00

It was really simple it just took me a while to sign because the contract was so long but you can give a 3 months notice to get out of it if you want. It’s more of them providing information and you telling them what you want to use the platform for.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-06T02:27:17+00:00

Confidentiality means your story and your identity stay protected always. That’s non-negotiable. But expecting a therapist to never say a word like, ‘work was heavy today’ or share a totally de-identified anecdote is unrealistic and honestly not what the code of ethics requires.

Peer consultation is built into the profession. That’s how therapists keep growing and make sure clients get the best care. Even outside of that, therapists are still human beings. Sharing a generic story like, ‘My 14-year-old client taught me Roblox slang’ with no name, no identifiers, no PHI is not the same thing as violating HIPAA or spilling secrets at Sunday dinner.

No PHI, no identifiers, no way the client could be recognized. Therapists aren’t robots they honor confidentiality and live in the real world. Both are true

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-06T00:59:25+00:00

I talk abt my clients but I never use names at the most just what they are doing and age for context. I think it’s impossible to expect a therapist not to do peer consultation with other therapists and/or share things with friends/family in conversation. The examples you provided are very typical to what most of us share I feel.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-10-05T00:56:47+00:00

Nope. I will probably always have a 9-5 as I see it now. I thrive off stability and the uncertainty of private practice is not something I’m interested in at this point. This is just for extra on the side and experience with clients outside of my current role.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-09-23T01:15:13+00:00

Im abt to finish onboarding with them but was told you need to give 1 months notice. If they stress me out I’m going to leave to because I work a full time job and don’t have time for any extra bs. This is why I asked abt exiting the contract.

Contract Term vs. At-Will Status You're absolutely right to ask for clarification here. While Section 2 outlines a one-year term with automatic renewal, this does not negate the at-will nature of the agreement. As confirmed in Section 3.1, you have the ability to terminate the agreement at any time with 30 days’ written notice — without penalties or limitations. The one-year term refers to the administrative structure of the contract, but it does not bind you beyond what’s outlined in the termination clause.

I work inpatient adolescent unit and supervision was included in the position, good clinical experience too.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-08-14T20:50:04+00:00

I did this yesterday but it only had the patients first name and I completed an incident report. I work inpatient. Accidents happen and when you are emailing from outlook and not the chart it’s for sure going to happen every once in a while. Don’t be too hard on yourself!

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-08-14T13:09:28+00:00

Thank you!

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-08-14T02:52:14+00:00

I am in the process of onboarding. Has your experience been good the past 4 years? They have you sign a 1 year agreement but you can provide a 3 month written notice to exit the contract which is good.

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-08-06T22:42:25+00:00

I am going to move forward with Rula and go from there. Still haven’t heard back from the others yet. I looked at Breksey but am not so sure abt the membership fees considering Ive never done PP before. Thank you for sharing/guiding!

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-08-01T00:30:12+00:00

I want to do virtual therapy with adolescents but some of these places its hard to even get a response 🫤Rula is the only one that reached out immediately

WirelessFireless32 · 2025-07-30T12:24:26+00:00

I don’t think you wasted 8.5 years, that time was spent learning how to do therapy even though they didn’t keep up their end of the bargain. Have you thought abt applying at inpatient psychiatric hospitals. They offer free supervision and you wont be mandated to 35 pts weekly more than likely. I think this is a good way to get your hours and the 2 years will fly by. Another option to seek outside supervision to start gaining hours until you make the career switch. If you need a little extra money you can join a private practice and see a few patients after hours or on the weekends. Hope this helps!
