Why Mental Health Professionals Are Switching to PsyTechVR
In recent years, virtual reality (VR) therapy has moved from being a niche idea to a widely adopted tool in mental health, wellness, rehabilitation, and pain management. Many clinics and practitioners began their journey with various VR therapy platforms. However, some providers are now transitioning to PsyTechVR.
The Pain Points of Other VR Therapy Platforms
-
Local time support and lack of communication
When choosing a VR company, always check their headquarters and consider time zone differences. Many companies in the EU, Middle East, or Oceania advertise 24/7 support, but in reality, they operate during their local business hours. If you’re based in North America or Australia, this often means waiting 7+ hours for an email reply.
At PsyTechVR, we take customer support seriously. With offices in both the US and Central Europe, we provide timely assistance through email and our active Discord community for all worldwide locations. From onboarding to ongoing support, a dedicated manager will be there to guide you throughout your VR journey. -
Annual-only pricing
Some competitor platforms require a large upfront annual payment. Private practices and clinics are asked to commit thousands of dollars in advance, even if their patient demand for VR therapy is still developing. In many cases, what looks like a “monthly plan” is actually tied to a binding annual contract. Trying to cancel often results in legal pushback and countless wasted hours dealing with support teams. -
Outdated headsets
Several VR companies still rely on outdated, lower-quality headsets such as the Pico G2 4K—or even ask clients to use basic cardboard VR viewers. This severely limits the quality of the therapy experience and leaves practices with hardware that feels obsolete almost immediately. Headsets that launched over five years ago are no longer suitable for professional use, performing far worse than modern models like the Meta Quest 3 or Pico 4 Enterprise. -
Vendor lock-in
Some platforms sell VR headsets that are permanently locked to their own software. Once configured, the hardware cannot be used for any other applications, stripping away freedom and flexibility. An even worse scenario occurs when you already own a VR headset, but the provider requires you to change account settings or install a kiosk mode. This effectively locks your device, blocking access to other VR apps, app stores, and essential personal features. Restricting a headset in this way not only limits your ability to choose competing apps—it also intrudes on your privacy without clear consent. -
Paying for modules you do not need
A common issue with many VR platforms is their complicated and costly pricing model. Mental health providers are often charged extra for essential plugins or add-ons, and even for access to software updates. Instead of offering a practice-friendly package that includes all services and support, these platforms create rigid pricing tiers that overwhelm providers—especially those with little or no prior experience with VR therapy systems. -
Lack of training and educational activities
Building a VR platform is only the first step—successful adoption depends on ongoing training and education. Many VR companies fail to provide continuous learning opportunities, leaving providers without the support they need to improve skills and confidence. At PsyTechVR, we go further by offering workshops led by experienced clinicians, delivering advanced guidance on applying VR in exposure therapy and other modalities. We also provide certification programs, enabling you to become a licensed VR therapy provider and strengthen your professional credentials.
How PsyTechVR Addresses These Issues
PsyTechVR was built with one guiding principle: to make VR therapy accessible, flexible, and cost-effective.
-
Dedicated support managers in your local time zone
If you need assistance getting started with PsyTechVR—or even while running a live session with a client—you’ll have direct access to your dedicated onboarding manager, available during your local time zone to answer questions and provide support. And because emails can get lost, we’ve also created an official Discord community, where you can quickly reach our team and receive real-time responses. -
Monthly subscription
If you’re switching from another VR provider and can show proof of purchase, PsyTechVR offers a discounted rate of $99/month (compared to the regular $120/month price). You can cancel or pause your subscription anytime—directly from your dashboard—without penalties or hidden fees. -
Latest high-quality devices
Our bundle includes the newest Meta Quest 3s or Pico 4 Enterprise headsets, ensuring patients receive the most modern and engaging VR therapy experience. -
No hardware lock-in
Private practices and Clinics can buy the VR device from a local store (Amazon, BestBuy, etc.) or use their existing VR headsets, or choose PsyTechVR’s Meta Quest 3s bundle where we deliver you a headset with preinstalled software. Unlike competitors, our devices are not locked, giving you the freedom to use them with other applications, as we support competition. -
Transparent pricing
For a discounted $99/month or $1,200/year price (compared to $120/month or $1599/year regular price), switching your organization receives the complete PsyTechVR package: 12 months of platform access, ongoing updates, training, and local time support. No hidden add-ons or forced modules. -
