Support through life’s changes
Mental health care, built for the Asian community
Therapy that’s covered by insurance, HSA or FSA, with affordable self-pay options
Mental health care that’s made for what you’re carrying
Culturally-attuned therapy
Your culture and your values become the expectations you hold for yourself and that others have for you. When you’re already holding so much, therapy shouldn’t feel like you’re the one helping your therapist study.
Anise trains our clinicians to support the Asian community. They incorporate your background, culture, and experiences into addressing your needs and goals.
Fits your schedule
Between work, errands, school, and loved ones, it can be hard to find time to care for yourself. Our sessions are easy to join from wherever and whenever works for your busy routine.
Flexible payment options
Figuring out how to pay for support shouldn’t add more stress. We believe mental health care should be accessible, no matter your budget.
Anise Health lets you pay for therapy using your insurance, HSA, FSA, or with affordable self-pay options.
Secure and private
Feel safe and secure in your session. You’ll join your therapist on our HIPAA-compliant platform.
Culturally-attuned therapy is a judgement-free zone, where you can be comfortable as yourself, knowing that what you share stays private.
9 out of 10 clients feel heard and understood
“[My provider] understands about the Filipino culture in a way that other therapists I work with do not. He used humor and is approachable. This made it easier to share.”
— Anise client
“Anise has been so helpful for me, especially in this season of life transitions… Since I’ve started with Anise, my therapist and coach have helped me address my issues and work on my goals so that I can have a more fulfilling life amidst the challenges that lay ahead.”
— Anise client“I felt comfortable with my therapist fairly quickly. Although she's Asian, she's not the same ethnicity as myself, so there was some shared understanding, but not too many assumptions, which made me feel like I could more fully express myself, but didn't have to completely explain myself.”

You can book health coaching sessions to build new habits, manage daily routines, and get more hands-on support between therapy sessions.
How we support you
Our therapists and coaches are clinicians who specialize in supporting Asian Americans and Asian identifying people.
We know that your mental health is tied to your background—your culture, values, family, and more—so we’re all clinically trained to approach your care with your experiences in mind.
Some areas we specialize in:
Anxiety, stress, and always feeling overwhelmed
Academic stress and pressure
Life transitions and changes
Depression
Burnout
Relationship issues
Exploring your identity
Balancing multiple responsibilities, like work, school, and family
Trauma, including generational trauma and complex trauma
Feeling stuck
Family dynamics and issues
And more
You don’t already have to know what you’re dealing with to start therapy. We’re here to figure it out with you.
There’s a gap in mental health care. Approaches don’t consider how culture is part of our unique experience. To solve it, we developed treatment models to account for your intersectional and individual identity. When care is culturally competent, people can be truly understood and finally heal.
That’s why we do what we do, and that’s why it works.

Your treatment is tailored to your needs. You and your therapist will collaborate to figure out what works best for you. That could look like meeting once a week, every two weeks, or even multiple times a week if you need.
As you continue your care, you can discuss whether to adjust how often you’ll meet and change your schedule if it makes sense.
-
Health coaching is a separate offering that you can add as part of your care. Coaching is a useful way to build new habits, manage daily routines, or get more hands-on support between therapy sessions. To ensure a seamless experience, your coach works closely with your therapist to provide fully integrated care. You can book your coaching sessions directly through the Patient Portal for a flat fee of $30 per session.
-
Anise supports a wide range of emotional and life challenges, especially those shaped by cultural identity. Clients often seek care for stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, family tension, imposter syndrome, and navigating cultural expectations. Our diverse providers offer therapy and coaching that’s tailored to your lived experience.
Note: We currently do not offer medication management, couples/family therapy, or in-person care. -
We are confident in our providers’ abilities to meet your needs, but understand that not everyone is a perfect fit! If you’d like to try another intake session, we will help you meet with a different provider at no additional cost.
