Mental health professionals like marielbuque are working to make therapy approachable and inviting, debunking the myth that therapy is shameful:
, Ph.D., keeps it simple. “I try to think of advice I wish I could give to my 16-, 19-, and 30-year-old selves. We all have more in common than we don’t. So, if it is advice I wish I would have heard, then others probably need to hear it too,” Hardy told. Instagram is a two-way street, meaning that it’s also an opportunity for these therapy influencers to share their own vulnerabilities as well.
But even as more and more people open up about therapy, there are still institutional challenges that make it hard or impossible to obtain, the biggest and most obvious being. As of 2019, the average mental health treatment can cost up to $300 per 45-minute session and is primarily out-of-network. “There is no reason that mental health information needs to be held behind a paywall. Access to psychotherapy requires a certain level of privilege that many people simply do not have.
Hardy’s point is one that’s echoed by the therapy influencer community as a whole: Instagram, while insightful and monumental in its own rights, is not a substitute for therapy itself. Therapy is an intensive process that demands an intimate understanding of the patient’s psyche through one-on-one sessions. It’s a treatment that can’t be replaced by an app, no matter how well-intended it may be.
“People can’t heal pervasive traumas or unhelpful relational patterns by reading an affirming post on Instagram. If that were the case, therapists would have been put out of business long ago. People need a trusting and committed relationship with a therapist to navigate their concerns and get to a point of healing and transformation. And that is something influencers cannot replace,” Buquè said.
But even though therapy influencers will never replace the practice of therapy itself, nor is that their intent, what they provide is a necessary bridge to a great understanding of the treatment as a whole. “Humans are incredibly resilient. We just need good tools. Education is one of the best tools we can give to someone,” Hardy said.
