Our Founding Story

When Alyssa started training as a social worker, she finally prioritized her own therapist search. Despite knowing the jargon, it took Alyssa over 30 calls to find the right fit. At the same time, Alyssa's clients shared that they struggled to find a therapist and chose her for her headshot, which often led to a mismatch in expertise and additional time, energy, and dollar costs.

"Imagine if mental health were as personalized as recommendations on Netflix or Seamless," she thought.

Alyssa founded MyWellbeing in 2017 with a social work degree, a spreadsheet, and a whole lot of peers and colleagues who were desperate to connect with each other.

Since inception, MyWellbeing has:

Supported millions of people in understanding and accessing mental health care

Matched tens of thousands of people to the right provider fit for them

Supported hundreds of therapists and coaches in building their business and professional community

Today, the team at MyWellbeing is small and mighty, brought together by their shared passion for mental health. Scroll just a little bit further to meet the MyWellbeing team.

and how we think and feel about mental health

Jneé Hill, LCSW

Clinical Director

"Our emotions provide value insight into our internal world and contribute greatly to our external lives. Mental health is important to me because as we learn to live in harmony with ourselves, we are able to show up in the world in the best way possible. Taking care of our inner light allows us to shine on and along side others."

Alyssa Petersel, LMSW

Founder, CEO

"We are vulnerable to more stress and pressure than ever before. We are conditioned to believe that 'perfect' by external standards is the only measure of success, when really, perfect doesn’t exist. We can define our own wins, but only when we understand our narrative and what shapes it. I am forever grateful to the therapists and coaches I’ve worked with (my partners in self-discovery and growth) and am committed to a more empowered and emotionally aware future for all."

Kayla Winslow, MA

Head of Member Experience

"We're interconnected beings, and each part of the whole matters. Mental health is a foundational aspect of overall wellbeing. When we improve our mental health, individually and communally, we honor our existence more completely and give ourselves a better shot at thriving."

Nora Vose

Head of Operations

"Accessing equitable and affordable mental health care is crucial for one's overall wellbeing and health. When I finally found my therapist my life changed. I was able to dive into the depths of my past and heal the parts of me that I didn't know needed healing. I believe a good therapist is the best asset as one continues to find the best version of themselves. I know I couldn't do it without mine. It's vital to stay focused on our continued growth as we navigate the instabilities of day to day life."

Ryan Ward

Business Development Manager

"I believe that mental health is something that everyone should prioritize. After years of avoiding therapy, I finally found the right therapist for me in 2020. I can’t emphasize enough how much therapy has dramatically improved and changed my life for the better."

Jareena Silva

Community Manager

"Mental health matters to me because our brain is what makes us unique and it’s our most important tool in our body. Nurturing our mind is vital at every life stage from childhood and into adulthood."

Tomek Handzlik

Senior Fullstack Engineer

"We live in a success and performance oriented society. We simply forget to pause and reflect on who we are and what we truly need to be happy. Taking care of my mental health helps me in finding balance and with relations with others. But most importantly it helps with relation with myself. Knowing how big of an impact mental health has on my life I’m proud to be a part of a team who’s not only saying “Mental health matters”, but actually is actively helping others in taking care of their mental health."

Faith Deutschle

Social Lead

"Behind every successful relationship is my therapist. Enough said. I genuinely am happier because I prioritized my mental health. I have a feeling my friends and family are also happier."

Caitlin Harper

Content Lead

"Mental health matters to me because I neglected my own for so long! I now know that protecting and nurturing my mental health is the most important way to take care of myself—when I don’t, everything else is impacted. But making mental health matter is a practice and still one that I work on every day!"

Zelda

Dopamine Lead
