I always wonder if some place like YC could use a resident therapist/psychologist. Someone who meets with founders as needed or on a weekly basis. Might be helpful.. After watching the Showtime show "Billions", the idea seems like a pretty interesting innovation.

It’s a sweet thought but there would be far too many conflicts of interest for a single therapist to operate ethically.

  Maybe.. there's probably a way to make it work though.

  It didn't even operate particularly ethically in the TV show either... still, seems to have been effective

They had Amy who was a trained psychotherapist during both 2015 and 2017 when I went through. Anyone could schedule time to talk to her at anytime but it was generally used for resolving founder conflicts. She went off to be an executive coach but I am sure they still have someone like that.
