Mentyy helps college students get from "I need to talk to someone" to a booked first consultation. If your campus counseling center is full, or you'd rather start on your own, Mentyy connects you with licensed off-campus therapists and lets you book an initial consultation right in the app. No message threads. No waiting to hear back. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Search licensed providers by specialty, insurance, and visit type • Choose in-person or telehealth care • Read provider profiles: bio, certifications, specialties, insurance • See real availability and book your first consult in a few taps • Keep track of your upcoming appointments Mentyy connects you with providers; it doesn't provide care itself. Mentyy is not for emergencies. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (US) or call 911.
