Therapy is an essential part of the mental health continuum, but it isn’t appropriate for every concern. There are many people who could benefit from on-demand support that helps them process what’s happening right now, make sense of their emotions, or understand what they need next.

In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Jessica Schleider, Founding Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health at Northwestern University, to explore the psychology and impact behind single-session interventions, how they complement the broader continuum of mental health support, and considerations for employers who want to provide timely, clinically appropriate, and financially sustainable care.
