Have questions about Meru Health? We're here to help
How does Meru Health's program differ from face-to-face therapy?
Meru Health is a clinically proven therapy program that can be accessed from your smartphone. It includes personalized care from a dedicated licensed therapist, self-paced lessons and guided activities, a biofeedback device to help you connect mind and body, and support from an anonymous community.
Unlike traditional face-to-face therapy, Meru Health is a continuous digital program: you’ll get new exercises on the platform daily that you can do at your own pace right from your smartphone.
You can also talk with your therapist anytime, even daily, via secured in-app chat. Your therapist is always available to support you and guide you through the program.
Studies show that mental health isn’t just mental. Nutrition, sleep, and even simple breathing directly impact your mental health. Our holistic program focuses on daily activities and practices to deliver superior and long-lasting results.
Our program participants find it 67% more effective than traditional therapy.
What is the time commitment for the Meru Health program?
Our program is very flexible. Usually, you only need around 15 minutes to complete your daily practices. You can work through the program at your own pace – anytime, anywhere from your smartphone.
During the program, you can have video sessions with your dedicated therapist and get unlimited in-app chat support and guidance.
How much does the program cost?
Meru Health is covered by your health plan.
Meru Health is available at no cost to eligible members 18 or older on select Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Choice health plans. Please have your insurance card ready to verify your plan is eligible for this covered benefit.
Are Meru Health therapists licensed?
Yes . Our team consists of master or doctoral-level licensed therapists who have three years or more experience and have verified background checks.
How do I interact with my therapist?
The program starts from a 30-45 min video intake call with a master or doctoral-level licensed therapist to identify your treatment goals and personalize your experience.
Your dedicated therapist will support you throughout the whole program, providing additional resources, and guiding you when you feel lost, unmotivated, or just need to talk.
You will have the ability to communicate with your therapist through a secure in-app chat, discreetly, and without any pressure. You can send a message whenever and as frequently as you want.
If required, you can schedule additional sessions (up to 3 in total) with your therapist during the program.
