Continuous care
When you begin the Meru Health program, your licensed Meru Health therapist is available via both scheduled face-to-face video sessions and unlimited, asynchronous chat. It’s support built around your life, not someone else’s schedule.
Coaching option
The continuous-care model applies to both Meru Health’s 12-week therapy program and our 8-week coaching option (see below), which is supported by certified behavioral health coaches. No one wouldn’t like to feel better. For some, Meru Health coaching is the best way to achieve that.
Connecting the mind and the body
Mental health isn’t just mental. Nutrition, sleep, exercise, and even simple breath directly impact your mental health. With Meru Health’s wearable heart-rate variability device, you can see this connection in action.
The Meru Health App
The Meru Health app enhances your care experience with guided, evidence-based lessons and activities that you can do on your own or with support of your therapist or coach.
In-network Insurance Coverage
Meru Health is covered by several health insurance providers and is a free employee benefit with some employers. Cost depends on individual plans, copays, and deductibles. But even the 12-week program is far cheaper than the average cost of 12 weeks of traditional therapy.
Our team will connect with your health plan to determine your cost share, if any.
Proven Outcomes
After program completion, 73% of Meru participants show clinically significant improvement, and 59% are in remission from symptoms of depression or anxiety. This exceeds the 12-week outcomes of traditional approaches to mental health care.
The 12-Week Treatment Program
1. Up to four face-to-face therapy sessions, via video call, plus unlimited support via in-app chat—all with a licensed therapist who will be with you for the duration of the program.
2. Guided in-app lessons and activities to help you recognize your emotions, move past negative thoughts, improve relationships, and the role of sleep and nutrition in mental health.
3. A wearable device that, along with guided breathing practices, will help you see and improve your body’s physical response to stress. The mind and the body talk to each other. Meru Health’s heart rate variability (HRV) tools help you listen in.
4. Anonymous support and connection from a community of fellow Meru Health participants.
The 8-Week Coaching Program
1. Two face-to-face video sessions with your certified coach, plus unlimited support via in-app chat.
2. Guided in-app activities and lessons to help you develop skills for reducing stress, increasing resilience, and unlocking your best self.
3. Weekly workshops to dive deeper into skills and practices and help lock in the changes you seek.
I'm in the middle of my 12 week journey with Meru Health, and I couldn't be more happier with the transformation in the outcome the program and my therapist, Leah, has supported and impacted my life - personally and professionally. I am learning how emotions, the mind, sleep, and eating all have influences on my healthy daily function. My therapist provides supportive articles/videos/techniques regularly, and I love them because it's helped me to apply and practice in my daily functions and see such positive and healthier results. I am beyond thankful for this program, and I have even shared my experience with my colleagues. One shared with me, "I needed to hear you share the power in your mental journey with me today." I wasn't expecting that response, yet it made me feel great knowing my experience and dedication to the process has helped someone else. Highly recommend Meru Health and giving it your full you to see the power in how the program and therapists can change your life, just as it has changed mine for happier and healthier me.
Amazing Program & Company!

I have worked at Meru Health as a remote therapist for just about a year. This 12-week, app based program is excellent, and it is a fabulous place to work. Participants have incredible content available daily, as well as the ability to chat regularly with their therapist via dashboard. Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback training, and as-needed check-in appointments with the therapist are additional components of this program. As a therapist, I have observed Participants that are actively engaged, make significant progress in symptom reduction (anxiety and depression), and improved emotional resiliency over the course of the program.
Low quality content, hard to see the overall use
Evils
The app is extremely badly developed and looks like one of those apps that were actually HTML pages from the early iOS days. Clearly I didn’t come for the app though but for the overall mental health program, unfortunately this program follows suit and I’m having troubles seeing how this is any helpful the way it is designed right now. You watch a couple of videos staring at a woman wildly waving her hands and explaining to you a single topic every day of the week in different words, then you ger to clip on a “biofeedback” device which is really just a HRV meter and you do breathing exercises while trying to keep the sensor calm. I have to say that my therapist doing the intro call actually was very good and friendly, unfortunately, my contact with her is now limited to chat and seems to be completely separate from the rest of the program. I wouldn’t do it again
Review, refresher and some new ideas

I found myself with some challenges that kept evading my attempts to come to grips with them. As a result my self-satisfaction and effects on others was really unsatisfactory. This app and its focus on practical solutions and concrete strategies are a great resource. It has several techniques that I have use and reminded me of the many times I’ve used them successfully in the past. New ones are taught and opportunities to practice them are available. Meru got it right, and I’m glad my health plan makes it available.
