Two Chairs

Two Chairs is a modern behavioral health company founded in 2017 with the mission to build a world where everyone has access to exceptional mental health care. The company delivers the nation’s best therapy at scale by using a unique, research-backed process where licensed clinicians carefully match patients with their ideal therapist. This approach is combined with an industry-leading system for measurement-based care to help patients improve more quickly and effectively.

Two Chairs serves more than 20 million covered lives and employs over 600 licensed therapists across 90 areas of expertise. It operates both a digital therapy platform that matches clients based on their medical history, preferences, and goals as well as a network of physical clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area for in-person consultations. This hybrid model helps address the fragmented and costly mental healthcare sector.

The company is in-network with major national and regional health plans such as Aetna, Kaiser Permanente, and Florida Blue, providing clients broad access to high-quality therapy services. Two Chairs has expanded its mental health services to cover approximately 75% of the U.S. population as of early 2025, entering 19 new states.

Two Chairs has received multiple prestigious awards recognizing its workplace culture and innovation, including Great Place To Work 2025, Fortune Best Workplaces in Healthcare 2024, Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators 2024, and Inc. Best in Business 2024. The company continues to grow through significant funding rounds, including a $50 million Series C in 2024, aimed at hiring more therapists, expanding territorial reach, and enhancing technology.

Founded by CEO Alex Katz, who left roles at McKinsey and Palantir to start the company, Two Chairs represents a new generation of mental health startups focused on improving client-therapist matching as a critical success factor for therapy effectiveness. The company balances digital scalability with physical clinic presence, striving to make mental healthcare more personalized and effective at scale.
