To Be Honest, an Online Space for Mental Health

Build Real Skills with Real Therapists

Mental health is for everyone. Yup, you too. Whether you’ve done therapy, group support or coaching before or not, tbh is a great place for you to build up a mental health routine. It’s like a gym for your mental health: a place where you can proactively work on whatever’s on your mind and learn useful skills that will help you be happier.

Get the expertise of TBH coaches + the support of other students in a friendly and casual space.

Services are all free and personalized, available for you anytime—anywhere you are!

1:1 Coaching

We get to know you and suggest therapists who match your needs and experiences. You meet with any TBH coach YOU LIKE, virtually, for unlimited weekly check-ins. Youcan watch a video of all TBH coaches and pick one you vibe with today.

Group Sessions

We hand pick a therapist and 5-9 other students (from your school AND other schools) who match your background and preferences, and provide you with a support community to meet with, virtually, once a week. You can talk or just listen to others speak – totally up to you.

What do I need to do to sign-up?

Sign up on the tbh website with your SMC email. You answer just a few questions so that we can get a sense of who you are and what you’re looking for. You can then immediately pick a TBH coach and request 1:1 sessions. Using your answers, we create group sessions that work for you and we will reach out (usually within a few days to a week) with group options.

Is tbh therapy?

We designed tbh to be less intimidating than therapy! The program was built so that you get a better understanding of yourself, but without the pressure. You also are able to build friendships and connections with other students — something you don’t do in therapy. You get the expertise of therapists, but sessions are not therapy. They do not involve diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.

What kind of commitment do I need to make?

After you sign up, we’ll give you group options but you do not need to accept a group. If you decide to try a group, all you need to commit to is trying out one group session! Groups run either as a one-time thing or for a once-a-week session throughout the semester. For 1:1 sessions, all we ask is that you give us notice if you can make a session you’ve scheduled.

Is my information safe with tbh?

Will I meet people from my school or other schools?

We don’t match groups based on school. Instead, we match groups VERY carefully based on the information you share with us (things like life experiences, personality type, and personal goals), in order to make sure that your group is the best fit for you. If you join a tbh group, you’ll probably meet a combination of students from your school and other schools. If you have a strong preference either way, please let us know and we will make it work for you!
