Allswell is used by LGBTQ+ adults dealing with depression and anxiety along with identity-related trauma, family conflict, or social transition. Patients see a licensed therapist by video who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community or screened for experience serving it, and they can join group programs. Allswell uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive processing therapy adapted for LGBTQ+ experiences, according to its website.
Medicaid members pay nothing, and commercial patients pay $10 to $25 on average in copays, the site says. Cash rates are $175 for a 60-minute intake and $125 for each 45-minute session.
The closest competitors on HIR are virtual behavioral care providers that bill insurance, including Ophelia, Workit Health, Boulder Care, and Bicycle Health, which focus on addiction treatment.
Dawn Androphy, chief executive, and Connor Gordon, chief technology officer, founded Allswell in 2024 out of Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and it launched in spring 2025. On October 14, 2026 it announced a $7 million seed round led by Heidi Patel's firm, Rethink Impact, bringing total funding to $8.3 million. It says it holds more than 1,500 billable sessions a month and often keeps patients for over a year, and that in its latest groups 77% of patients improved on anxiety and 71% on depression after 60 days.
Allswell is small, with hundreds of active patients, and its outcome figures come from the company. It plans to add psychiatric medication management next year.
