DENVER, November 15, 2022–(COMMERCIAL WIRE)–SonderMind announced the acquisition of neuroscience company whole brain today to revolutionize the way people engage with their mental well-being. This paradigm shift in the mental health industry will allow people to better understand their mental well-being outside of therapy and integrate digital tools into their therapeutic care.

We can help people get better, faster by leveraging its science-based app to enable people to better understand their mental and emotional state, as well as engage with SonderMind to address those needs through both digital and therapeutic methods.”
Today, SonderMind physicians provide high-quality, personalized, and accessible mental health care in 15 states and Washington, DC and have delivered more than 1.5 million sessions to date. Beyond leveraging technology to better identify the right therapist to help each individual client, as well as accepting all major insurance carriers and offering in-person or virtual care, SonderMind is unique in its relentless focus on clinical quality. From partnering with the University of Denver to research behavioral health issues using millions of anonymous data points to setting expectations and providing professional development opportunities for its providers, SonderMind is looking for ways to objectively improve care from diagnosis to outcome.
It is this focus on high-quality mental health care delivery and outcomes that led SonderMind to acquire Total Brain.
