Speakers

Bea Arthur

Called ÔÇ£innovative and inspiringÔÇØ by the American Counseling Association, licensed therapist and entrepreneur Bea Arthur has become a leader in the field of mental health and telemedicine. With the goal of transforming traditional therapy into a more affordable and approachable experience, she created In Your Corner, an online platform that provided counseling services through video and journals. The Columbia University alum and TEDx speaker has been featured in Elle, MTV, Fast Company, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, VentureBeat, NPR, Buzzfeed, CNN and Refinery29. Bea was named part of the New Guard of Women in Tech by Marie Claire magazine as well as an Entrepreneur to Bet on by Newsweek Magazine.

Bea was also the first African American woman to be accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator accelerator program, and is an editorial contributor and digital media host for Women@Forbes. She is currently the founder and Executive Director of think tank, The Difference, which is devoted to the future of therapy and innovation in mental health research and resources - the right talk at the right time can make all The Difference.
