Frequently Asked Questions

How does Meru Health's program differ from individual therapy?

It is a clinically proven therapy program that includes personalized care from a dedicated therapist, self-paced lessons and guided activities, a free biofeedback device to help you connect mind and body, and support from an anonymous peer community. All of this can be accessed from a smartphone.

 

Over the course of 12 weeks, you will learn and practice skills for long-term mental well-being, all with the daily support of your dedicated therapist. 

How much time do I need for the program on a daily basis?

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 schedule up to three video sessions with your dedicated therapist and get unlimited in-app chat support and guidance from them. 

How much does the program cost for me?

Meru Health is available to qualified Aetna members age 18 and older. Your cost will depend on your individual health plan. 

 

Are Meru Health therapists licensed?

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.
