How Anise works
The first thing you’ll do during onboarding is review your personalized therapist matches and select one to do an intake session with! If you're not satisfied, we will help you meet with a different therapist at no additional cost.
From there, you’ll meet with your therapist regularly to make progress toward your goals.
You can book health coaching sessions to build new habits, manage daily routines, and get more hands-on support between therapy sessions.

How often are the therapy sessions?
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.
Is coaching included with the therapy?
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.
What does Anise treat?
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.
