About Us

Hobi is a platform dedicated to making affordable, creative, and community-based mental health support accessible to everyone. Founded by a mental health nurse who witnessed the cycle of people returning to crisis care due to a lack of ongoing resources, Hobi offers an alternative path focused on prevention, peer connection, and creative expression.

We provide virtual and in-person peer support group sessions that are therapeutic but not clinical, centered around expressive arts for mental wellness. These sessions—ranging from art-based activities to guided reflection and journaling—are led by trained mental health professionals and designed to help people process emotions, reduce stress, and feel supported in a safe, welcoming space.

Hobi does not offer clinical therapy or mental health treatment. Instead, we focus on mental wellness, emotional support, and creative outlets that promote healing and connection. With group sessions starting at just $8, Hobi removes common barriers like cost, waitlists, and insurance requirements, making support more inclusive and accessible.

Whether you're dealing with burnout, anxiety, loneliness, or simply seeking a creative space for stress relief, our expressive arts-based peer support groups can help you build coping skills and strengthen your emotional well-being.

We currently operate therapeutic art groups in 15 cities, with over 4,100 active members. With hundreds of booked sessions and consistently positive feedback, Hobi is proving that community-based mental health support can be effective, affordable, and empowering.

If you're searching for:

  • low-cost mental health support without insurance
  • creative mental health services
  • art therapy-style groups
  • peer-led wellness sessions
  • or preventative mental health resources

—Hobi is here to support you with accessible, stigma-free care rooted in creativity and connection.

Our mission is to make mental health support inclusive, preventive, and human-centered, because no one should have to struggle alone.
