4 out of 5 myStrength users found it as effective as in-person therapy at a fraction of the cost.

“Learning to manage my depression has been the biggest benefit of myStrength. I don’t have to be afraid to go out and live anymore. I can work through it, reflect and look forward…I’ve been able to take ownership of my life.”

“Sometimes we just have a day where we’re a little bit down in the docks and we may not know why. With myStrength, I started picking up and noticing my own triggers for my moods. That has been really beneficial for my life, as well as my career.”
