We understand that everyone faces emotional challenges in life. It’s not easy. Sometimes challenges can get heavy, leading to stress, anxiety, or depression.
Unfortunately, the health care system is not working well to support our mental health – studies show that it can take 10 years for Americans to access care, and more than half of the people who need care do not get it.
Telehealth alone can’t solve the problem. There are not enough mental health professionals, and they are overwhelmed themselves.
Our mission is to make mental health care simple, accessible, and affordable by empowering both health professionals and patients.
We believe that technology should be used to expand the reach of mental health professionals and help patients become co-producers of their own health.
