About Us:

At Mantra Health, we're dedicated to revolutionizing student mental health care. Partnering with a variety of universities and colleges across the country, our mission is clear: to provide universal access to high quality mental health services for students.

Since our founding in 2018, we've built a comprehensive treatment service for young adults with various mental health conditions. We've raised over $34 million to work with students at universities and colleges across the country. We're particularly proud that nearly two-thirds of students with access to Mantra report that Mantra's program helped them stay in school. From comprehensive teletherapy to wellness coaching to tele-psychiatry, our diverse team is dedicated to ensuring that students not only survive but thrive.

Join us in paving the way for a brighter, healthier future for students everywhere.
