In an exclusive interview with POPSUGAR on March 15, Venus Williams opened up about her new partnership with the therapy platform, BetterHelp, in a bid to make therapy more accessible.

"Health is not just physical, and I've pursued a whole life of physical health — the Lord knows I know that — but also, beyond my top game, I needed to have the best mental health possible. That was always a priority for me, and I want to give that opportunity to other people and also make it [more] accessible," she said.

She further emphasized the importance of feeling good just to be able to exist in a healthy way.

"I know that when you don't feel good, it's hard to get anything done. It's hard to go to work, it's hard to be with your friends. It's hard to just exist when you're mentally distressed. When you are feeling good, you have so much to give — not only to yourself but to the world," she added.

Her sister, Serena Williams, has also previously discussed the process of learning how to deal with her mental stress in a healthy way in order to be a better competitor.
