About The Company

Grow Therapy is an online therapy platform that makes mental health care easy to start, covered by insurance, and flexible enough to grow with your life. We’re building a better kind of therapy—accessible, affordable, and made to fit real life. We sit at the intersection of people, providers, and partners, because that’s where change happens. We believe change starts by empowering therapists. Grow’s smart platform helps independent providers build thriving practices by handling credentialing, billing, and client referrals—so they can focus on care. With business tools, a supportive clinical community, and growth resources like CE events and speaking opportunities, Grow helps providers practice with more freedom and more support. Grow helps people find licensed therapists who reflect their lived experience, whether that means shared racial or cultural background, language, identity, or life stage. It’s easy to search by specialty, availability, and insurance. Many clients pay ~$21 per session with insurance; some pay $0. With over 1 million clients served and thousands of providers, we’ve built trust the old-fashioned way: one session at a time. Here’s how Grow makes therapy easier: • Covered by insurance: 100+ plans, including Medicare and Medicaid • Fast to start: Book online, begin in as little as 2 days • Flexible scheduling: Virtual or in-person, evenings, weekends • Built for you: Search by identity, specialty, language & more • Clear cost estimates: No subscriptions We’re rethinking not just how people access care, but how care feels, because life doesn’t pause between sessions, and with Grow, care doesn’t either. We’re proud to grow with mission-aligned partners like Sequoia, SignalFire, Village Global, Airbnb, Nurx, PatientPing, and Blackstone—who share our belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care.
