That’s great. Our Stronger Minds Community is here for you
How do you feel most comfortable connecting?
Are you currently in crisis?
Create an account and get started right away.
Tell us about yourself, your feelings and your situation, so that your therapist can understand you better.
After you create and verify your secure account, you’ll start your first session – a full MindBeacon Assessment.
We've re-created what in some cases can be a 60- to-90-minute in-person interview in an online assessment that takes about 30 minutes and can be completed on your own time, anywhere.
We suggest setting aside a time in which you won’t be interrupted to complete this important first step in your journey.
A therapist creates a plan designed just for you.
Through secure direct messages, readings and activities, your therapist will help you develop the skills you need to thrive.
A therapist will take the time to personally review your assessment. (This can take 3 to 5 business days, depending on volumes.)
If our program is a good fit for your unique needs, you will be matched with the therapist best suited to create your personalized treatment plan.
If our program is not appropriate, they will suggest other resources for you to contact.
Complete your personalized program in 6 to 12 weeks.
Work one-on-one with your dedicated therapist for up to 12 weeks and access your resources for up to 1 year.
Our program offers 12 weeks of guided treatment with a therapist. Most people complete their course of treatment in 6 to 10 weeks.
Your therapist will respond to your messages and check in with you every few days.
Once you reach 12 weeks of treatment, you will still be able to access your materials (readings, worksheets and more) for an additional 40 weeks.

Therapist Guided Program plus Insights
Your Therapist Guided Program Assessment results are reviewed by clinical psychologist and discussed with you during a one-on-one phone call. You will also receive a psychological diagnosis report you can share with your healthcare provider. The cost to add this option is $300*.
*This cost is non-refundable. If it is deemed by a therapist that MindBeacon is not suitable for your needs, the cost may still be claimed under your benefits plan.
**By agreeing to the psychologist call, you also agree to the cost of the report. Additionally, if the clinical psychologist determines that MindBeacon is not suitable for your needs, the cost of the call and report are non-refundable. Both costs may be claimed under your benefits plan.
