Our world is plagued with injustice. Therapy in particular is no exception. BIPOC therapy-seekers face significantly higher rates of trauma yet are regularly discriminated against in their therapy-search process. BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ providers have long been discriminated against, leading to a severe shortage. The time for change is yesterday. Just a few of our commitments are inclusive hiring practices and partnering with leading brands to sponsor high quality therapy for communities in need.
Much like in therapy, we understand that some of the most rewarding accomplishments in life are some of the hardest blood, sweat, tears (and words!) we have to give. Starting, growing, and scaling a startup is not designed for the faint of heart. We model strength, taking ownership, stepping up to the plate, using our voice and our privilege for good, and intention-setting. We believe in radical candor and vulnerable, compassionate leadership. We set ambitious goals and then we surpass them.
We believe the very thing that haunts you, causes you to feel different, leads you to stand out from the crowd, while sometimes painful, is often your biggest strength. In the world of therapy, we are guided by our partners-on-and-off-the-couch to learn the ins and outs of who we really are. While we may not look like your cookie-cutter expectations, we believe in our authentic mission and value, and we know that our community does, too. There are plenty of “them” in this world. We need you.
The “little things” matter to us. Our first priority in our decision making is listening to you, the therapy-seekers, therapy-curious, and therapy-providers who have brought us to life. We do our very best to ensure that every single MyWellbeing touchpoint is infused with belonging and empowerment. We may not have all of the answers, but we want the very best for you, and we are here to help in any way we can. We’re better together. We truly believe that and we hope you will join us.
In our world of therapy, we learn, grow, and reframe regularly. We seek (and find) meaning. We integrate our past into our present and our future. We at MyWellbeing prefer to consider “mistakes” learning opportunities. We anticipate that, in an effort to grow, to innovate, and to provide the very best product possible to any and all who come to MyWellbeing, we will make bets, and not every bet will work out. A failure is not a loss. We are always learning.
