ValYou was founded with one simple, urgent question:
“Why doesn’t everybody go to therapy?”

In the midst of the largest mental health crisis in American history, this question pushed us to look deeper. Today, 1 in 5 adults—over 59 million people—experience a mental illness each year. And yet, only 43% of those individuals receive any form of treatment.

​

Why?

​

The barriers are clear:

• 55% of people say they don’t believe therapy is necessary.
   

• 27% cite cost as the main reason they don’t seek help.
   

• And in rural communities, access is even worse—55% of U.S. counties lack a single mental health professional.
   

At ValYou, we believe therapy should be accessible, stigma-free, and financially barrier-free. We exist to challenge outdated perceptions about mental health and to remove the obstacles—real or perceived—that keep people from getting the support they deserve.

​

Our mission is simple:
Make therapy accessible to anyone who needs it—no exceptions, no cost.

​

Because therapy isn’t just for some people. It’s for everyone.

 

And everyone is worth it.
