This week on Therapists Unchained, Sivie Suckerman, LMHC, ACS, chatted with Pam Rothman, LPC, to discuss her journey across diverse provider settings—from community mental health to tech-based mental health platforms. Pam offered a candid look into her experience at BetterHelp, highlighting the platform’s demanding model, low compensation, and prioritization of profit over therapist well-being. She also spoke to the broader challenges of working with insurance and emphasized the critical role of clinical supervision. Together, Sivie and Pam explored systemic issues fueling the perceived therapist shortage, the lack of business education and support for clinicians, and their shared experiences navigating the complexities of the mental health field.

Pam received her Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Holy Family University in 2015. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, practice owner, and clinical supervisor in the state of Pennsylvania. To learn more about Pam’s supervision services, feel free to reach out via email:
