Sponsored Students
My school has partnered with Mantra Health. How do I get access to the therapy or psychiatry services?
If your school offers the Mantra Higher Ed program, please go to your health or counseling center to get a referral to Mantra. Once the referral is made by your provider on campus, you will receive a link to sign-up by email. If you have already been referred, click here to retrieve your onboarding email.
If I’ve already been referred by my school, how do I create my account?
Great news! Welcome to Mantra Health. You will receive an email after the referral is made by our counseling or health services center containing information to create your patient profile. If you can’t find that email or the link isn’t working, you can resend your activation email here.
How often can I chat with my provider?
Your provider is here for you, but we also have to make sure they take care of their mental health too! Providers do their best to respond to all messages within 24 hours during the weekdays. If a message is sent on the weekend, you should receive a response the following week. If your question is more complicated and requires additional thought or expertise, your provider will ask you to schedule an appointment.
We are not equipped to handle psychiatric or medical emergencies. If you have an emergency that needs immediate response, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

In the case of our Managed Care Program, we build a Safe Operating Handbook that includes all of your campus’ crisis management resources and train your dedicated Mantra provider on them.

What is Mantra’s cancellation and rescheduling policy if my school is not sponsoring my sessions?
To respect our provider’s time, we request that you cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. If you cancel your intake call and do not want to reschedule, please email hi@mantrahealth.com, and we’ll process your refund. Cancellations or rescheduling within 24 hours prior to an intake call or monthly follow-up session will be charged $50.
Rescheduling can also be done by contacting hi@mantrahealth.com. Please contact us at least 24 hours prior to the start of your appointment to reschedule. Failure to show up for your appointment or rescheduling within 24 hours of your follow-up session or intake session also has a $50 fee. We charge this nominal fee to ensure our providers' time is spent with patients.
Patients sponsored by their university do not have fees associated with late rescheduling, cancelations, or no-shows but please do your best to honor your appointments since late cancellations and reschedules lead to lost mental healthcare services for your school. If you need to reschedule, email hi@mantrahealth.com or call our 1-800-464-2083
