What is Psykhe?
Psykhe is a social enterprise that strives to increase access to mental health treatment by ending the time-consuming burden on college students of seeking long-term therapy. Through data driven matching, the intuitive online platform equips students with therapists who fit their needs, giving them the resources to begin mental health therapy, and paving a healthier and happier college lifestyle for themselves.
Our Founding Story
Dealing with a mental illness while performing the full-time responsibilities of a college student can be extremely difficult. Mental illness affects one's ability to function on a daily basis and many students don't seek any help. Founder, Mansi Parikh, noticed how mental illness affected those close to her. Her own experiences with finding a therapist and the stories of many peers inspired her to found a venture that works to make mental health treatment more accessible amongst students.
The Impact
Psykhe strives to increase access to mental health care for college students, specifically those seeking long-term therapy, by tackling the root problems for lack of access to mental health care. Psykhe reduces the time-consuming, burdensome nature of finding a good therapist, allowing students to take the first step to seeking help and bringing stability and happiness into the lives of college students.
