Founded in Oakland, California, we have teammates around the country and regularly visit our customer partners to collaborate in-person and gain a deeper understanding of how our software is impacting lives.

The problem we're solving

The shortage of mental health providers isn't closing — it's widening. Health systems are racing to adopt AI, but the systems that win won't be the ones with simply the most tools. They'll be the ones whose tools fit how clinicians already work — and make the care itself better.

Dr. Katz is built to complement clinical workflow, not compete with it — helping systems adopt new delivery models without adding administrative burden.
