Our Story

At It’s Okay to Feel, we believe in something simple yet revolutionary: everyone deserves access to emotional support, no matter their background, income, or experience. What started as a mental health-centered clothing brand has grown into a full movement grounded in empathy, creativity, and collective healing.

We create thoughtfully designed clothing in collaboration with artists who share our passion for emotional expression and authenticity. Our pieces are meant to start conversations and remind you, and the people around you, that your feelings are valid. Whether it’s joy, sadness, anxiety, or peace, all of it belongs. You belong.

Our mission goes beyond clothing. We’re currently building a free therapy app that will connect people directly to licensed therapists at zero cost. Our goal is to remove the barriers that keep so many from getting the help they deserve. Mental health care should not be a luxury, it should be a right.

Every purchase you make supports this vision. You’re not just wearing something that looks and feels good. You’re helping fund therapy sessions, raise awareness, and build a platform that could change lives. You’re joining a community that values vulnerability, celebrates emotions, and shows up for one another.

We know healing is personal. It’s nonlinear. It takes courage. And you don’t have to do it alone. With your support, we’re creating a space, online and in the world, where it’s truly okay to feel.

  • Empathy

    Central to our ethos, empathy drives understanding, compassion, and inclusivity, creating a supportive community where everyone feels valued.

  • Emotional Authenticity

    We celebrate genuine expression, encouraging individuals to embrace their feelings without judgment, fostering deeper connections and personal growth.

  • Mental Health Advocacy

    We're dedicated to destigmatizing mental health, offering resources and support to promote awareness and proactive steps toward well-being.

The Founder

Hi, I’m Marissa, Founder of It’s Okay to Feel. I started this brand to remind people that emotions are meant to be felt, not hidden. What began as a clothing line rooted in expression and healing is now growing into something bigger: a free therapy app designed to make mental health support accessible to all. Thank you for being part of this journey.
