What Kip Health does
Kip combines traditional in-person therapy with a private app so that you get the most out of every session. Meet your therapist in person and start working on your personalized care plan. Share daily thoughts, feelings, and events with your therapist on Kip's private app. Achieve measurable results with Kip's science-backed, results-driven approach. Not your average therapy service, Kip makes therapy more effective by combining in-person visits with digital support in-between.

Company
Kip Health
In-person therapy with digital support
We built a platform that combines in-person therapy sessions with a private app where users share daily thoughts and progress with their therapist. Our product helps people get more out of therapy by blending direct contact with ongoing digital interaction tailored to each user's care plan.
We live in San Francisco, CA. If accepted, the company would continue to be based in San Francisco after YC.
San Francisco is where we both live and where the mental health tech ecosystem is strong. It's also where we can recruit therapists and test our product with real users.
