Our Story

Nahshii Health was born from a deep belief that mental health care should be a place of healing for everyone, not just the few who can afford it, find it, or feel safe enough to seek it. Nahshii comes from the Gwich’in Athabascan language, meaning “healing” or “a place of healing.” In the Gwich’in tradition, a place of healing is more than a physical space—it is a trusted, nurturing presence where people are seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

This concept is at the heart of everything we build. Nahshii Health is designed to be a modern place of healing that lives in your pocket, your home, and your daily life. Our AI-powered counseling platform blends clinical expertise, cultural understanding, and human warmth, instantly making quality mental health support available in the language and context that feels most natural to you.

For too long, mental health care has been defined by its barriers—cost, stigma, cultural disconnect, and geography. We chose the name Nahshii as both a vision and a commitment: to bring healing out of the clinic’s four walls and into the places people truly live.

Why Now

We are at a critical inflection point for mental health care:

Unprecedented Demand

Rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders are higher than ever, especially among underserved communities. Traditional systems are overburdened and cannot scale fast enough, as for every (single) mental health provider, there are 350 patients seeking treatment in America.*

Technological Breakthroughs

Advances in large language models, low-latency inference platforms, and real-time voice/video AI now make it possible to deliver therapy-like experiences with responsiveness and empathy never before achievable.

Shifting Expectations

Users now expect mental health support to be on-demand, personalized, and culturally relevant—mirroring the accessibility of everyday apps, not the months-long waitlists and referrals of the past.

Cultural & Policy Momentum

Conversations around mental health are more open than ever, and there’s increasing policy focus on equity, inclusion, and access in healthcare. The timing is right to leverage both awareness and funding to make a lasting impact.

Nahshii Health sits at the intersection of these forces. We are not simply building another mental health app—we are reimagining what it means to create a trusted, enduring place of healing in a digital-first world. By acting now, we can lead this shift, reaching millions who have been historically excluded from or underserved by traditional mental health systems, and set a new global standard for accessible, culturally competent care.

Our Mission

At Nahshii Health, our mission is to remove the barriers of cost, access, and stigma that prevent people from receiving quality mental health care.

We are building a next-generation, AI-driven counseling platform that delivers culturally competent, ethically guided, and clinically grounded mental health support—anytime, anywhere. Our three-agent counseling model combines intake, continuous care, and supportive closure, powered by advanced AI trained on decades of counseling science, evidence-based practices, and lived human experience. By meeting people where they are—on their phones, in their homes, and in their own languages—we strive to create a safe, empowering, and stigma-free environment for healing and personal growth.

Our Vision

We envision a world where mental health care is as accessible, personalized, and stigma-free as any everyday conversation.

Nahshii Health will redefine how counseling is delivered by creating a seamless, low-latency, multi-modal experience—text, voice, and video—that feels as natural and supportive as speaking to a trusted human therapist. Our vision is to be the world’s most trusted mental health companion, capable of scaling to millions of people without sacrificing empathy, cultural understanding, or clinical rigor. By fusing advanced AI with deep human-centered design, we aim to set a new global standard for mental health care—one that is proactive, inclusive, and available for life’s journey, not just moments of crisis.
