Investing in mental health makes good business and financial sense. Provide the entrepreneurs in your community access to specialized therapy.
Collectively Tangled works with organizations and investors to provide mental health support to entrepreneurs in their community. We help you move from discussion to actionable support, ensuring the entrepreneur’s well-being becomes an integral component of the growth strategy.
Why providing access to mental health support is a strategic advantage?
There is a positive ROI on access to mental health support. The ROI is a result of combination of avoiding potential losses (e.g., absenteeism, decreased productivity) and creating additional value (e.g., innovation, improved leadership).
Increase your return on investment.
We help them build self-awareness, navigate difficult conversations, set boundaries, and manage conflicts in a way that fosters trust and collaboration. Therapy ensures that leadership is not just effective, but also emotionally sustainable.
Strengthen the relationships you are helping them build.
Focus on what you’re good at, no one can do it all.
Deepen the mental health awareness and skills of capacity builders to improve their ability to engage with entrepreneurs on mental health topics. This includes recognizing when and how to connect entrepreneurs with additional and professional support.

Why Subscribe?
Enhanced Accountability and Consistency
The subscription model fosters a mindset of regular mental health maintenance, much like a gym membership encourages physical fitness. Engage with mental health services regularly, leading to more consistent care and better long-term outcomes. Effectively manage mental health by making it part of a work routine. Regular engagement can prevent small issues from escalating into more serious problems.
Convenient Access When Needed
Leaders have told us that it’s not easy to ask for mental health support from people invested in the success of them and their business. With Collectively Tangled, individuals and co-founders can access mental health services anonymously whenever they need them. This is particularly valuable during times of crisis or increased stress.
Affordable Access to Care
A membership offered by a program or investors lowers the financial barriers to accessing mental health services. Instead of paying a fee for each session, programs pay a predictable, affordable monthly fee so the entrepreneurial leader can access qualified support.
"Mental health is incredibly important, especially for founders. When their mental health declines, it can hinder their ability to complete essential tasks or lead them to focus on the wrong priorities. Many founders face significant struggles and often feel they have nowhere to turn, but they’ve expressed gratitude for this service as a vital source of support."

All therapists are licensed with their applicable licensing board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. This means that when you talk to a licensed therapist online or in-person, they are subject to the mandated reporting and confidentiality requirements.
Generally, the therapist will keep what you tell them confidential, but there are limited exceptions. For example, if you threaten grave harm to yourself or to an identifiable victim the therapist is required to report this information to relevant authorities. Before starting therapy, please discuss with your therapist their legal obligations to confidentiality if you have any concerns or questions.
