17³Ô¹Ï

We get to know you and suggest therapists who match your needs and experiences. You meet with any therapist YOU LIKE, virtually, for unlimited weekly check-ins. 95% of our therapists are people of color, compared to the 14% national average for therapists.

We hand pick a therapist and 5-9 other students (from 17³Ô¹Ï AND other schools) who match your background and preferences, and provide you with a support community to meet with, virtually, once a week. You can talk or just listen to others speak – totally up to you.

We offer fun things like quizzes, blogs, and tips — all created and curated by therapists. Get answers to your pressing questions and learn more about yourself.

Humans, not bots. You can chat with our (100% human) care team about anything you need. From the minute you sign up, tbh staff is here for you!

with your email. You answer just a few questions so that we can get a sense of who you are and what you’re looking for. You can then immediately pick a therapist and  request 1:1 sessions. Using your answers, we create group sessions that work for you and we will reach out (usually within a few days to a week) with group options.

We designed tbh to be less intimidating than therapy! The program was built so that you get a better understanding of yourself, but without the pressure. You also are able to build friendships and connections with other students — something you don’t do in therapy. You get the expertise of therapists, but sessions are not therapy. They do not involve diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.

You can access tbh FOR FREE as a 17³Ô¹Ï student. We will not need any payment information or payment.

However many you want; it’s totally up to you! Typically, you can only schedule one 1:1 session per week but you can do multiple group sessions a week.

No. You have access to all 10 individual sessions per year through 17³Ô¹Ï’s Mental Health & Wellness Center.

Yes! You do not need insurance to use tbh and we do not collect insurance information. 

Yes! We are available to ALL students. Our coaches (who are professional therapists) come from all walks of life and life experiences, and we can offer 1:1 sessions in Spanish if preferred.

Nope. All you need is an Internet connection (or data plan). You can access tbh through most phones, tablets, and computers.

After you sign up, we’ll give you group options but you do not need to accept a group. If you decide to try a group, all you need to commit to is trying out one group session! Groups run either as a one-time thing or for a once-a-week session throughout the semester. For 1:1 sessions, all we ask is that you give us notice if you can make a session you’ve scheduled.

We respect your data privacy and will never share it with unauthorized third parties. Group members and your coach will keep all conversations and interactions private and confidential. Your school doesn’t know what you say in a tbh session, with the exception of extremely rare cases if there is a genuine concern for your personal safety. 

We don’t match groups based on school. Instead, we match groups VERY carefully based on the information you share with us (things like life experiences, personality type, and personal goals), in order to make sure that your group is the best fit for you. If you join a tbh group, you’ll probably meet a combination of students from your school and other schools. If you have a strong preference either way, please let us know and we will make it work for you!
