We believe mental health support is not a luxury.
It’s a basic human right — one that over a billion people around the world are still denied.
We know what it feels like to need help but not know where to turn.
To feel the weight of stigma.
To be told to wait months for an appointment.
To feel judged, misunderstood, or simply… alone.
We’ve been there. That’s why we’re building MyWhy.
Our mission is bold but simple:
To make emotional support accessible, affordable, and stigma-free — for one billion people.
We’re not just building an app.
We’re creating an ecosystem that makes therapy available to everyone, everywhere — without fear, without judgment, without barriers.
