The My Therapy difference

Therapy that does not stop when the session ends.

  • Healing happens in your everyday life — not just in the therapy room.
  • Access to Therapist in Your Pocket through your chosen support plan.
  • Practical tools and resources tailored to your journey.
  • Track your progress with tangible, data-driven results.
  • Therapeutic prompts, worksheets and insights for reflection.
  • We believe a patient can’t fail therapy, but therapy can fail a patient — therefore therapy is tailored around you. You are not forced to fit the textbook.
