TheraHive

From their website: “We started TheraHive to improve mental health in the world. The world is facing a mental health crisis. As clinicians, researchers, behavioral psychologists, and entrepreneurs, we felt compelled to do something about it. We’d experienced first hand how evidence-based interventions like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) changed the mental health trajectory of individuals for the better but also how inaccessible such programs were. We started TheraHive in 2020 to make access to high-quality mental health skills education much more accessible and affordable.”
