More Background on Healwise

Founded and operated by psychology clinicians, academics, and experts, we understand the system because we’ve been a part of it. We’ve seen those waitlists, talked to those help-seekers, and have been frustrated by our inability to do more. The more we’ve seen, the more strongly we feel: this system isn’t working.

This is why we exist: to uncomplicate the mental health system by building a single platform to connect help-seekers with a wide range of mental healthcare options, from traditional therapy to self-guided services.

Through our services platform, we’re connecting help-seekers with affordable, accessible care. And through our educational resources, we’re demystifying the mental health system, giving people the information, insight, and knowledge they need to make their therapy journey a successful one.

We are a small, all-volunteer team of people around the country passionate about mental health equity. We’re assembling a team of like-minded professionals who will help us realize our vision and fulfill our mission.
