Called “innovative and inspiring” by the American Counseling Association, licensed therapist, and entrepreneur Bea Arthur has become a leader in the field of mental healthcare.

With the goal of transforming traditional therapy into a more affordable and approachable experience, she created In Your Corner which provides instant, expert support when you need it.

She is a Columbia University alum and TEDx speaker, has been featured in Elle, MTV, Fast Company, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, VentureBeat, NPR, and CNN. She was also named part of the New Guard of women in tech by Marie Claire magazine, an Entrepreneur to Bet on by Newsweek, and is a frequent contributor on Fox & Friends.

Bea is also the first African American woman to be accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator accelerator program.
