We're building what should have existed years ago
Providers are burned out. Clients fall through the cracks between sessions. EHRs are designed for billing, not healing. We started Theryo to fix that.
Strengthen the therapeutic alliance with technology that actually helps
Mental health care works best when providers and clients are deeply connected. But too often, the tools meant to help get in the way—clunky portals, fragmented data, and systems designed for billing rather than healing.
Theryo gives clients a calm, private space to journal between sessions while giving providers AI-powered insights they need to deliver exceptional care.
No cold starts. No guesswork. Just deeper connection.
What guides us every day
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the filter for every product decision we make.
Human-Centered
Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it. Every feature we build strengthens the bond between providers and clients.
Privacy-First
Mental health data demands the highest protection. HIPAA compliance is our baseline, not our ceiling.
Provider-Led
Built with input from practicing therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists who understand real clinical workflows.
Thoughtfully AI
AI should surface insights, not replace clinical judgment. We build tools that amplify provider expertise.
