Mental health shirts that say the thing out loud
Hi, I'm Alyssa — I'm the designer and founder, and I draw every single design myself. Shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and stickers for the days that need a sentence.
Winter 2026
Soft things for a hard season
New hand-drawn designs for the coziest, heaviest time of year — the holidays, the dark afternoons, the quiet after. In tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and stickers. Evergreens, creams, and winter blues, gentler than usual, on purpose.
Order by December 9 to guarantee Christmas delivery.

Nobody comes here for a t-shirt. They come for a sentence that fits the week they're having.
Watch me draw them
Every design starts out in Procreate on my iPad — sketched, hand-lettered, and colored stroke by stroke by me, Alyssa. No stock art, no bulk slogan packs. The timelapse on this page shows the full drawing, start to finish.

Reviews from therapy-goers and therapists
I LOVE this company. Seriously. As a mental health therapist, I love to wear clothing that not only is comfy, but that shares a message to the clients who sit across from me. Cannot recommend enough.
This is my life! Coffee to give me a jump start and therapy to give me hope. Love this so much I bought it AND the matching little one.

I stumbled onto this site through Facebook and decided to give it a shot. The sayings were right on track. You have a great site here with many wonderful reasons to keep going.

Hi, I'm Alyssa. I draw every design myself.
I started Self-Care Shirts because my own mental health was in pieces and I needed to hear the things I now draw. There's no team here — it's me, a tablet, and a dog who insists on walks.
If you're in a hard season right now, the shirts are optional. The free resources aren't going anywhere and they don't cost you an email address.
