The Seempathy team

Mental health = trust. Here's who we are, what we do, and why we believe this platform is worth building exactly this way.

Built Seempathy after seeing how many people in Moldova can't afford therapy or find the right therapist. 8 years in product engineering. Believes mental-health platforms must be run by people with visible faces.
