Startup Advising

Helping founders build the future of mental health.

What I Bring

Building a successful mental health company requires more than a great idea. It requires thoughtful leadership, sound strategy, and informed decision-making. Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical, executive, and entrepreneurial leadership, I advise founders who are building companies that advance mental health care.

Why Mental Health?

“Mental health is personal. It’s universal. And it’s overdue for innovation.”
– Dr. Michael Schneider

I focus my startup advising on founders building companies that:

Expand Access

I look for companies that solve the problem of access, whether through digital platforms, community care models, or new delivery systems.

Leverage Technology Thoughtfully

Tools like AI, telehealth, and data-driven treatment are essential enhancements to fostering more effective outcomes.

Prioritize Equity and Ethics

Mental health care must be inclusive, culturally competent, and grounded in integrity.

Show Real Impact

I’m interested in ventures that pair passion with measurable outcomes and strong growth potential.

What I Offer Startup Founders

Whether you’re refining an early-stage concept, preparing for growth, or navigating the challenges of scaling, I provide practical guidance informed by firsthand experience. My role is to serve as a trusted advisor—helping founders think strategically, avoid costly mistakes, and build stronger companies positioned for long-term success.

Strategic Support

I offer insight into clinical workflows, behavioral health systems, and go-to-market strategies for the mental health space.

Industry Connections

Founder-Focused
