A Sidenote: Mental Health

Stating the obvious.

As a PSA, startups are stressful. You likely need to be budgeting for self care or other mitigation techniques. Perhaps you didn’t know this, but unreasonable demands will be placed on you by people who are figuring out how to manage, or by investors who expect you to manage. Many people avoid therapy because of the perceived stigma or the cost, however there are some really great options if you know where to look.

Where to look?

Great places to look where it might not be obvious are individual providers who have reduced their burn rate by moving to smaller towns. Many of them offer virtual services and heightened service levels.
My example is Samantha Kledzik, of Grace counseling out of Illinois.

She is a talented trauma therapist who ticks all of those boxes while providing lower cost therapy. Moreover she is LBGTQIA friendly. Smaller communities have professionals who prioritize their work life balance and allow for higher levels of value at lower cost. Frequently, they have wide experience and have found that they While Sam is a great counselor, I encourage you to find similar counselers who fit your needs who have similar models.

Self Care is part of the cost of working at a startup.
