Real personal growth can be hard to come by. One-on-one therapy and coaching are
effective, but they’re also time consuming and expensive, and that’s if you’re lucky enough to find a
practitioner and an approach that work for you. Instead, most of us turn to self-help books, inspirational
Instagram accounts, or podcasts with interesting guests. We leave inspired but unsure of what to do next,
besides consuming another book, post, or episode. Similarly, mental health apps have their benefits, but
they’re usually limited in their scope and require a lot of commitment.
At Mindstead, we believe there has to be another way, especially if you’re just
starting your personal growth journey and want to explore the range of options available. Maybe you’d benefit
from changing unhelpful thought patterns through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), developing a gratitude
practice to promote happiness, or maximizing your leadership abilities through performance coaching
techniques. Mental fitness is like physical fitness: there will always be certain things that will resonate
more or work better for you. The first step is figuring out what those are.
Previously, most high-impact mental health resources have lived hidden behind
the closed doors of practitioners’ offices or deep within the academic prose of psychology manuals. By creating
a marketplace where thousands of psychologists, social workers, coaches, and complementary therapists can share
their tools, Mindstead makes these types of resources more accessible. This way you can explore a wide range of
topics, approaches, and personality styles across hundreds of affordable and easy-to-use tools as you become the
best version of you.
