Our Story About Bridging Technology And Care
Founded by visionaries Alex Zervakos and Kanji Kawanabe, Theryo started as a small idea with a profound potential: to merge cutting-edge AI with a means to provide insight and empathetic mental health care as a team. Our founders saw the gaps in traditional mental health services — long waits, misunderstandings, limited access, one-size-fits-all approaches — and recognized the transformative power of AI to fill these gaps. From there, Theryo grew into a platform that supports not just those seeking help but also the professionals providing that help.
