“Working with Alyssa at MyWellbeing was one of the most formative experiences of my career. As the Founder and CEO, she led with both fierce advocacy for mental health access and deep compassion for her team. Alyssa has a unique ability to dream big while staying grounded in the real needs of clinicians and clients alike. She was not only a visionary leader but also a generous mentor—always finding time to support growth, offer guidance, and uplift those around her. Anyone would be lucky to work with or learn from her.”

About
My mission is to empower people to find and embrace their wellbeing, and for them to inspire others to do the same.
For over eight years, I've led the team at MyWellbeing as Founder/CEO, where we connect you with high quality, personalized, and affordable mental health care. Our core product matches you with the right therapist or coach for your unique needs at no cost. Picture a dating app, but for therapy--because finding a therapist shouldn't be so hard.
I am also an award-winning author, therapist, and thought leader at the intersection of tech and mental health. I have been recognized as one of LinkedIn's Top Voices in Mental Health, Forbes 30 Under 30 in Consumer Tech, and Crain's New York Business Notable Women in Healthcare. I regularly speak and write for leading publications and events, sharing my insights and expertise on topics such as entrepreneurship, mental health, and culture.
I imagine it's taken you meaningful effort and determination to land right here, right now. Thank you for reading so far. I believe in you. Keep going.
