The story
Sessions Health is a vertical EHR built exclusively for psychotherapists and mental health group practices. It combines documentation, scheduling, telehealth, insurance billing, and a client portal in a single HIPAA-compliant product, with embedded payments powered by Stripe Connect. The company has deliberately kept the finance stack narrow (Stripe only, no invoicing) to preserve HIPAA compliance under the HHS financial-institution exclusion.
