The need for accessible, quality mental health care is as high today as it’s ever been. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately half of 13-26 years-olds will experience a mental health disorder. Equally concerning, about two thirds of youth and young adults with diagnosable depression or anxiety will not receive any counseling or support. Today, there are simply too many barriers to accessing mental health care.

Fortunately, there is an extensive body of research that shows how to help developing minds learn to manage stress, regulate emotions, cope with anxiety and depression, and be more resilient. And, because most lifetime mental health conditions emerge between ages 13 and 26, this is the best time to teach these life-long mental health skills.

‍Our vision is to create a new model for mental health care, designed specifically for youth and young adults, that integrates the benefits of one-on-one therapy sessions with a mobile app-based experience. Our approach is evidence-based, skills-focused and personalized for each individual client.
