About us
At ParenteAI, we strive to improve youth mental health by empowering the key players in a child’s life—mental health professionals and parents.
Our story
We spent our lives training therapists, delivering services, and seeing the struggles of professionals and parents in helping their children’s mental health, we want to do something that could improve the lives of these families.
We have been working as clinicians and researchers for many years.
We have seen too many long waitlists, we have seen poor quality treatments and we have conducted research that only reached a small number of individuals.
We want to have better outcomes in mental health and make good treatments available for everyone that needs it.
At ParenteAI, we're building a movement to transform youth mental health care.
Join us in making a lasting impact.
