In the course of this partnership, Alexi will discuss her personal experiences with mental health at speaking engagements, and will create exclusive content for Monarch’s blog, an online resource for therapy seekers.

This partnership is a natural progression of Alexi’s unyielding advocacy for lifting the veil of shame from mental health struggles and care. Her 2021 book Bravey details her own childhood experience of losing her mother to suicide, as well as her own struggles with and recovery from depression following her record-breaking Olympic run in 2016.

“When I was sick, one of the hardest parts of my mental health journey was not just deciding that I needed help, but finding that help. It was extremely difficult to track down a therapist who was located nearby, on my insurance, and taking new patients,” says Alexi. “Monarch’s mission is to ensure that no one should ever have to spend days calling therapist after therapist just trying to make a first appointment ever again. I’m delighted to help raise awareness for a solution that is so critical right now.”

“With Monarch, we’re working to remove barriers preventing therapists from providing top quality care to their clients, and making it as easy as possible for therapy-seekers to get the help they need,” says Howard Spector, CEO of SimplePractice, the parent company of Monarch. “Alexi Pappas has been incredibly open and honest about her struggles with mental health, and we’re honored to work with her to help others get the help they need.”
