River Parishes Community College has partnered with BetterMynd, an online therapy platform, to offer students access to free teletherapy sessions from a diverse network of licensed mental health counselors.
These 50-minute live video sessions are confidential and can take place from the convenience of your laptop, smartphone, or tablet. Teletherapy sessions are available during the day, at night, and on weekends, so you can get support whenever it's best for you. Students under 18 years old are ineligible for sessions.

BetterMynd providers are licensed mental health providers trained to offer support and intervention for a wide range of common mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts and stress management. Your BetterMynd provider will do an initial assessment in your first teletherapy session and together, you will decide on the best course of treatment.
A major strength of our partnership is that we can now offer a diverse pool of therapists across the state and country. When registering and filling out the initial paperwork, you will be able to indicate specialties and counselor identities that are important to you. When you finish, the top 3 therapists that best match your preferences will be shown. You can expand the list to show every therapist in order of how closely they match your preferences.
If you do not have a private space for your teletherapy session or to speak with a counselor, please reach out to Student Services at [email protected] and we will work with you to make arrangements for you to have a private space. We have reserved space for teletherapy appointments in on-campus locations available for students.
