Is telemedicine-based therapy the future of the mental health industry?

Online therapy is rapidly growing as a more accessible and affordable alternative to regular treatment. And some studies show that by 2025 the United States will be up to about a quarter-million therapists short of demand. 

Today, we welcome David Allen, the former co-founder and COO of Trusst, the Mental Health app for on-demand text-based therapy recently acquired by K Health, a virtual primary care platform providing affordable personalized health care for millions of adults and children. 

As the current senior director of mental health at K Health, David aims to integrate virtual therapy with the K Health primary care platform to create K Therapy, the first fully integrated telehealth service.

In this episode of Profit to the People, David joins us to discuss the importance of creating a positive culture in startups, the innovations happening in the mental health industry, and why it's so important to invest in the future of mental health.
