The founding of the Us Community
Founded in April 2023, the Us Community was created from the belief that no one should suffer in silence. Mental health is still one of the leading causes of death in the world. No one is immune to mental health struggles yet the stigma to accessing help remains strong. We are in it together to fight the stigma and reduce the barriers to reaching out for help. Our community is committed to devising and promoting mental health awareness campaigns as well as offering free resources to improve the mental health of people in Singapore and across Asia.
The Us Community is run by Dr.Emma Waddington – one of our own Senior Clinical Psychologists and the Founder of Us Therapy. She is supported by a team of other caring and committed therapists, helping to deliver on her initial founding vision. This work includes providing a range of services within the clinic, including free mental health check-ins.
Us Therapy also believes that cost should not be a barrier to mental health support, which is why our services are offered at many price points – helping as many people in Singapore as possible lead full and fulfilling lives.
What we do
We provide non-judgemental and compassionate mental health support in Singapore. We’re here to support the 1 in 3 teenagers suffering from depression, and help the 55% of Singapore residents suffering from extreme stress, develop coping strategies to help deal with it (Source, TodayOnline.com, April 2023).
Us Therapy offers therapy for everyone in Singapore including adults, teenagers and children. Services on offer include individual therapies such as psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as well as couples counselling, marriage and relationship support. Alternative and creative therapies are also available with options such as hypnotherapy, art and play therapy for children.
In addition to our therapy services, we also provide one-on-one psychological assessments and help our corporate clients with training, seminars and workshops. This includes assisting companies in building the infrastructure to support the mental health of their employees to help them thrive in their workplace in addition to managing crisis situations such as:
- Personal Loss
- Workplace Accidents
- Dealing with Violent Actions and Terrorism
- Natural Disasters
