Why We Started Emotilink

Hi, I’m Chris — one of the co-founders of Emotilink.

Vanessa and I have been close friends for years. As she worked her way through medical school, we kept talking about one thing that never got easier: how hard it was to actually find a therapist. Whether it was navigating confusing platforms, dealing with high costs, or feeling stuck in outdated systems, we knew the process didn’t work for most people — especially when they needed help the most.

That’s where the idea for Emotilink came from. After months of research and late-night calls, we decided to build a therapist platform that would help people find their fit — not just with a provider, but with care that felt human, flexible, and clear.

Emotilink puts the power back in your hands. You can search for and connect with licensed providers using a mobile-first platform designed for modern life. Whether you’re at home, in between shifts, or simply prefer privacy, Emotilink gives you access to therapy that works around you — not the other way around.

We’re proud of what we’ve created, and even more excited for what it can mean for people seeking support. If you’re curious why we built it this way, I recommend reading the APA’s findings on access and stress — it reflects exactly what inspired us.

Thanks for being here,
Chris
