NATIONWIDE - AUGUST 2025 - (USAnews.com) — But for many, accessing mental health resources can still feel out of reach. That's where MentalFit comes in, a mobile app that’s transforming the way individuals engage with their mental well-being. In May 2025, the company expanded its reach, transitioning from a B2B model (workplaces, universities) to a direct-to-consumer platform, making it easier than ever for anyone in the U.S. to access mental wellness resources—anytime, anywhere.
From Institutions to Individuals: A Big Leap
MentalFit’s journey began in 2021 with a simple yet powerful idea: to make mental wellness accessible and convenient for everyone. Initially, the app was available only through partnerships with employers, universities, and nonprofits, giving large groups of people access to comprehensive mental health tools. But the founders knew that the next step was to take the app directly to the people, empowering individuals to take control of their mental wellness without relying on their employer or school.
With the May 2025 launch of the direct-to-consumer model, MentalFit has opened the door to a wider audience, offering an integrated solution that combines self-care, community support, and professional mental health services all in one place.
A Holistic Approach to Mental Wellness
What sets MentalFit apart is its holistic approach to mental wellness. The app offers more than just traditional therapy—it delivers a personalized experience designed to cater to each individual’s unique needs.
Key features include:
Professional Therapy via Calmerry and BetterHelp: Through an exclusive partnership with Calmerry and BetterHelp, MentalFit users can schedule text-based or video therapy sessions with licensed professionals within 24 hours. And the best part? Users can switch therapists without incurring extra fees, ensuring that everyone finds the right fit.
Mood & Thought Tracking: Identify patterns in your mental health, helping you understand what’s working and what needs attention.
Self-Help Toolkit: Built-in tools, like guided affirmations, and journaling prompts, encourage users to stay engaged with their mental wellness.
But beyond just tools and therapy, the platform creates a community of support. Users can connect with one another, share experiences, and find strength in knowing they’re not alone in their journey.
Breaking Down Barriers to Mental Health Care
CEO Derrick McElroy puts it simply: "We believe prioritizing mental wellness should be as easy as stepping into a gym to work on your physical health." This mindset led to the integration of Calmerry and BetterHelp, which allows users to access mental health professionals in a way that feels seamless, convenient, and affordable.
For many, therapy feels like an intimidating or expensive option. MentalFit is tackling that head-on, making it possible for users to access high-quality therapy without the traditional hurdles. Whether it’s the stress of finding a therapist or waiting weeks for an appointment, MentalFit is changing the game by making mental health care more accessible, flexible, and personal.
A Supportive Community: Because You’re Not Alone
For MentalFit, it’s not just about providing professional care—it’s about fostering connection. Mental health struggles can often feel isolating, but the app’s community features—Encouragement Groups and Inner Circles—allow users to share their stories, ask questions, and support one another. This sense of community makes MentalFit more than just an app; it’s a movement towards breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and making it a natural part of everyday life.
MentalFit’s Vision: Empowering People Everywhere
With its direct-to-consumer launch, MentalFit’s mission is clear: to make mental wellness an everyday practice for everyone, everywhere. By offering a range of tools and services in a single app, MentalFit is empowering individuals to take charge of their mental health and cultivate a life of balance and resilience.
MentalFit also remains committed to its organizational partnerships, working with universities, nonprofits, and workplaces to offer tailored mental health solutions that support diverse communities. By creating a truly inclusive environment for mental wellness, MentalFit hopes to reach as many people as possible, whether they’re accessing the app through their job, school, or on their own.
What’s Next for MentalFit?
As MentalFit continues to grow, the company is committed to improving its platform based on feedback from users. With ongoing updates, new features, and an ever-expanding network of licensed professionals, MentalFit is poised to be a leader in the future of mental wellness. The app is now available on both Apple’s App Store and Google Play, making it accessible to a wide range of users across the country.
