E44: Christy Desai, Co-Founder and CEO of Okay Humans and LMFT
โIf weโre not visible then what are we doing? We were so passionate about changing the paradigm.โ๐
Christy Desai is the Co-Founder and CEO of Okay Humans - a new state-of-the-art storefront talk therapy destination backed by the Founders of Dry Bar. Christy is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and acutely understands the stress of start-up businesses and entrepreneurship given her prior ownership of Kidville, an indoor kids play space.๐๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
After unsuccessfully trying to outrun the stress of life, Christy Desai finally looked for a therapist in hopes of catching her breath. What started as โ3-5 sessionsโ turned into years of deep inner work. Her own experience turned into a personal mission to help other people feel better, stronger, and more alive ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Christy returned to school to pursue a Masters in clinical psychology as well as become a licensed marriage and family therapist. Being on both sides of therapy, as a client and a therapist, Christy saw how antiquated the process was for people to start therapy ๐ช๐ค
Christy became determined to find a way to eliminate the barriers of entry to seeking therapy which led to the creation of Okay Humans. Okay Humans is a completely fresh approach to face-to-face talk therapy dedicated to modernizing and destigmatizing the entire experience around therapy. AMAZING, and so needed!
