The modern approach to mental wellness

When it comes to mental well-being, most people think it’s something they can just handle themselves. But research shows that having an outlet to talk through challenging moments is critical to feeling and functioning your best. Until now, that’s required paying hundreds of dollars per hour and visiting an office.

Enter Basis. It’s a research-backed approach to dealing with life’s challenging moments in an ultra-convenient experience. For just $35/session, get same-day access to trained specialists. Up to 45 minutes devoted solely to you. You’ll leave feeling lighter and better equipped to handle whatever life throws at you.
