FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About TBH

Get Started

How do I sign up?

Super easy. Just go to forms.tbh.us/fhda and sign up with your Foothill-De Anza email. Once verified, you can switch to a personal email if you’d like.

How do I book a session?

After signing up, you’ll answer a few questions to help us understand what kind of support works best for you. From there, you can book a session with a therapist or coach in just a few clicks.

Do I need to download an app?

Nope! No app needed. Just log in from your phone, tablet, or laptop and get started.

Cost & Availability

How much does TBH cost?

$0. No fees, no insurance, no credit card—just free, unlimited support.

When can I use TBH?

Anytime! TBH is available 24/7. You can connect with a coach in under 10 minutes or schedule therapy and group sessions between 7 AM - 10 PM daily.

How many sessions can I have?

As many as you need! There are no session caps. You can schedule weekly one-on-one sessions and join multiple group sessions per week.

Coaching vs. Therapy

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Great question! Coaching is goal-focused and action-oriented, helping you tackle specific challenges like stress, time management, or motivation. Therapy is deeper, helping you work through emotions, trauma, anxiety, or depression. Not sure which is right for you? No worries—your provider can help you decide.

What if I start with coaching but want therapy later?

Totally fine! You can switch between coaching and therapy anytime based on what works best for you.

Crisis & Special Support Needs

What if I’m in crisis or need urgent help?

TBH isn’t a crisis service, but help is available. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or visit the nearest emergency room.

Who does TBH not support?

TBH is not a fit for severe mental health conditions requiring intensive treatment, including substance abuse, eating disorders, or conditions needing frequent in-person care. However, we’ll help connect you to the right resources!

Eligibility & Accessibility

Can international or undocumented students use TBH?

Yes! TBH is available to ALL Foothill-De Anza students, no matter your status.

Is TBH available in other languages?

Yes! We offer Spanish-speaking providers and live translation in over 240 languages.

Transitioning from TimelyCare to TBH

What happens to my TimelyCare account?

Foothill-De Anza is switching to TBH on April 1, 2025. If you need records from TimelyCare, download them before then or call 833-4-TIMELY for help.

Can I transfer my TimelyCare records to TBH?

Yes! Once you sign up for TBH, you can securely share your records with your new provider. If you need help, email us at fhda@tbh.us. You have 30 days from April 1st to transfer your records from TimelyCare.

Will TBH limit my sessions like TimelyCare did?

Nope! TBH offers unlimited sessions—so you can get support as often as you need.

Privacy & Confidentiality

Is my information safe with TBH?

Absolutely. Your data is private and secure. We only share minimal care summaries with your school’s wellness center to ensure continuity of care. Beyond that, everything stays confidential.
