Built by Someone Who's Been There

Dr. Deepak, MD
Board-Certified Psychiatrist | Community College Graduate | USC Keck School of Medicine

The Journey That Built Wellity

Dr. Deepak didn't take the traditional path to medical school. He started at community college, working nearly full-time to support himself while taking classes. What should have been a two-year journey took longer—not because of lack of ability, but because he was navigating school with undiagnosed ADHD and zero access to mental health care.
"I had no idea I had ADHD," Dr. Deepak reflects. "I just thought I wasn't working hard enough, wasn't focused enough. I watched classmates transfer on time while I struggled to balance work, school, and symptoms I didn't understand. There was no mental health support available—or if there was, I didn't know how to find it."
He eventually transferred to UC Davis, then went on to medical school, and finally completed his psychiatry residency at USC's Keck School of Medicine. It was during residency at USC—while training to become a psychiatrist—that he finally got diagnosed and treated for ADHD.
The irony wasn't lost on him: He was learning to treat others for the exact condition that had made his own education unnecessarily difficult.
"Every community college student working full-time and struggling with anxiety or depression, every student who doesn't know how to ask for help, every student whose mental health is derailing their education—I see myself in them. And I know that with the right support, at the right time, they can thrive."

Wellity Health was founded on a simple mission: No student should have their educational journey derailed by lack of access to mental health care.

This isn't just a business. It's a mission born from lived experience.

What Students Want to Know

Will my parents find out I'm in therapy?
If you're 18 or older, your therapy iscompletely confidential. We can't share anything with your parents (or anyoneelse) without your written permission. Your campus won't know the details ofwhat you talk about in sessions—only that you're receiving services.The only exceptions are serious safetysituations: if you're at risk of hurting yourself or someone else, or ifthere's child abuse involved.
I don't think therapy works / I tried it before and it didn't help.
We hear this a lot. If therapy didn't help before, it might be because:
  • The therapist wasn't the right fit
  • The approach wasn't right for what you needed
  • You didn't have enough time (6-8 sessions isn't enough for many issues)
  • Other things in your life made it hard to engage
We match you with therapists who specialize in college student issues, we use approaches proven to work, and we don't have arbitrary session limits. If something isn't working, we adjust.
Do I need therapy or medication—or both?
You don't have to figure this outyourself. When you have your first appointment, your therapist or psychiatristwill help you understand what might help most.
Generally: Therapy gives you tools andskills. Medication can address biological/chemical aspects of mental health.Many people benefit from both working together.
How often will I have appointments?
Depends on what you need. Most people start with weekly therapy sessions. If you're in crisis or dealing with something severe, you might meet more often initially. Once you're feeling better, some people space out to every other week or monthly.
For psychiatry: You might meet every 1-2 weeks when starting medication, then monthly or every few months once things are stable.
Can I keep my same therapist if I transfer schools or graduate?
If you're staying in California, yes—weserve students statewide through telehealth. If you're moving out of state,we'll help you find appropriate care in your new location and provide a warmtransition.
What if I'm having a mental health crisis?
During business hours: Contact your campus counseling center or call Wellity directly for same-day crisis appointments.
After hours/weekends: Call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) for 24/7 support, or go to your nearest emergency room if you're in immediate danger.
For established Wellity patients: We provide crisis support and coordination for students actively in our care.
What if I don't have insurance or my insurance doesn't cover it?
Through campus partnerships, many students receive services at no cost regardless of insurance status. When you're referred by your counseling center, we verify coverage and let you know what to expect.
For students without coverage through campus programs, we work with Medi-Cal, Medicare, most commercial insurance, and offer sliding scale options.
