Frequently asked questions

functional works because mental health is different. You wouldn't expect someone's liver cirrhosis to get better if they got better grades, but you could expect a struggling student to report better mental health outcomes if they achieve academic success. You could also expect someone to feel better if they found a job they love. functional extends this logic: set goals, meet them, feel better. We'll help you all along the way.
It's much more. A small part of the functional intervention is group-based short-term cognitive behavioural therapy. We also perform psychological testing in-house, offer you a personal coach, and send you off with skills and a set of accommodations you'll need to succeed in your personal and professional lives.
Accommodations are supports that can help level the playing field for those who may have a psychological disability or live with neurodivergence. functional can help you create bespoke accommodations for your specific learning or working environment. Normally securing accommodations is a lengthy process that will have you bouncing between your doctor, human resources, or your university accommodations office. functional cuts out all the back-and-forth and supports you with bespoke, helpful accommodations, not just cookie-cutter solutions like assignment extensions or lecture recording equipment.
We track your progress towards meeting goals and self-reported mental health every week, and then again after a month, three months, and six months. We know we work because you'll tell us if we're not working.
Your money covers the cost of intake diagnostic testing, group counselling, and one-on-one coaching. We help you set goals and help you achieve them.
No. You can start functional without a formal diagnosis and you may not get one after our intake. functional is for anyone who wants to function at their best and feel as good as they can.
Throughout the functional intervention you always speak to people. Experts who give you their undivided attention and care. We can do this because the intervention is short term. We only use artificial intelligence on the back end to help with things like scheduling.
