The round was also led by Morningside and Viewside Capital Partners. The company allows mental healthcare clinicians to collaborate. It also provides a matching care delivery platform for clinicians and patients.
“Digital innovation has made therapy more accessible, but it is not solving for the long-term. We need more therapists and better, higher quality therapy if we want to make a dent in the U.S. mental healthcare crisis,” Marc Goldberg, cofounder and CEO of Resilience Lab, said in a statement.
“Today’s investment is a key milestone for our team, validating that our vision of fundamental and comprehensive reform in the therapist development journey is as important as digital access and back-end automation.”
