With a growing population facing a range of mental health challenges, access to qualified therapists and counselors remains a significant hurdle for many individuals struggling with substance and social issues. The challenge is often not the availability of care but how to access it—whether due to insurance barriers, geographical limitations, or cultural factors that can discourage people from seeking help when needed.

Enter Scott Healy, CEO of Psych Hub. As a serial entrepreneur, Scott has built mission-driven companies throughout his career. He was a founding executive and key member of the team at Care.com during its startup phase; he understands what it takes to bring a groundbreaking idea to life and reshape an industry from the inside. But Scott also recognizes that, for mental health, the stakes are even higher. He not only envisions a better approach to the industry but also understands the need for individuals and their loved ones to access high-quality mental health resources. Scott believes evidence-based care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or circumstance. This is where Psych Hub’s new Behavioral Health Care Navigation platform comes in—a tool designed to help people connect with the behavioral health treatment they need.

Psych Hub’s platform aims to reduce stigma, increase access to quality behavioral health resources, and create direct connections to care. One standout feature is its proprietary Well-Being Assessment, which is based on clinically validated condition screenings. This tool helps users better understand their behavioral health needs by evaluating their feelings, challenges, preferences, and goals. The customized feedback they receive then empowers them to connect with the appropriate care—from clinical resources like licensed therapists to sub-clinical support such as educational articles, videos, and apps.

Psych Hub has garnered attention for its innovative platform, which addresses the care navigation problem. The Well-Being Assessment helps users clarify what they want and need from providers and treatment options, as well as how they can best navigate to appropriate care.

Data from Psych Hub indicates that individuals who took the assessment were significantly more likely to book treatment with a provider through the platform. This finding aligns with the company’s earlier market survey, which involved 1,000 people who had sought mental health support. Among those surveyed, 85% said they would have appreciated a custom care option to guide them to the right resources.

Psych Hub was founded on the belief that there is a high need for evidence-based professional development and resources that benefit both industry leaders and individuals seeking care. Since its inception, Psych Hub has sought not only to expand beyond its role as an online resource but also to promote greater social awareness about improving the quality of mental health care and treatment outcomes.
