Behind our name
When putting together a name, we spoke with potential users to understand their process for seeking mental health care. Terms like “stigmatized”, “uncomfortable”, and “venturing into the unknown” were common, and it felt clear that having someone to guide you through the process would be both welcomed and appreciated.
Within our founding team, we reflected on the people that had impacted us most in our own personal journeys. Each of our respective works had been inspired by a great Marvin. These Marvins ranged from Marvin Maurer, an educator who developed an emotional literacy program in the early 1970s, to Marvin Minsky, a cognitive scientist and pioneer in the fields of AI and philosophy, to even Marvin Gaye, the great soul musician and producer.
With that in mind, we’ve developed Marvin as a way to put a friendly name and face to the process of seeking behavioral health care. We hope that with Marvin joining you on your personal journey, we can take away some of that unfortunate stigma, and work together to find the right program that helps you feel at your best.
