Totem is for (almost) everyone
Although, if you’re on this page, it’s probably for you. Below, you can find who Totem is and is not for.
Totem is for you if:
You’re craving real connection—with people who get it.
You want a flexible, low-pressure online support group that’s easy to join.
You believe in peer support, honest conversation, and storytelling.
You prefer structure with heart—where every voice matters.
You’re looking for a safe, confidential space to show up as yourself and feel seen.
Totem is not:
A clinical service offering diagnoses, treatment, or medical advice.
One-on-one support—we’re built around group connection.
A replacement for therapy—we complement, not substitute.
A therapist-led or hierarchical space—Totem is rooted in shared experience.
A formal mental health program like CBT, coaching, or medication-based care.
Totem isn’t therapy—it’s a community.
While therapy focuses on diagnosis and treatment, Totem is rooted in shared experience, peer support, and the friendships that grow along the way.
Here, healing happens together—through conversation, connection, and the kind of support only a community that truly understands can offer.
