– Arab Therapy secures $1 million in seed funding, led by Flat6Labs and Vision Health Pioneers, with support from expat angel investors, signaling a commitment to enhancing mental health care in the MENAPT region.

– The platform prioritizes therapist development through rigorous training programs conducted by Arab doctors in Germany, ensuring high-quality, culturally sensitive care amid a shortage of well-trained Arabic-speaking therapists.

– Arab Therapy offers a comprehensive service connecting individuals with licensed mental health professionals. It plans to expand into new markets, adapt to regional mental health needs, and initiate B2B sales operations to integrate its services into corporate wellness programs and institutional support systems.

Arab Therapy, the online mental health platform in the MENAPT region, closed a $1 million seed funding round, according to a company statement.

The investment, led by Flat6Labs and Vision Health Pioneers, along with support from expat angel investors from the USA, EU, Australia, and KSA, underscores a collective commitment to enhancing mental health care accessibility and quality in our region.

A key aspect of Arab Therapy’s growth strategy is its dedication to improving therapist capabilities. 

Through comprehensive training programs conducted by Arab doctors in Germany, covering a range of therapeutic techniques and cultural sensitivity, aligned with Germany’s renowned standards of care, the platform ensures its therapists can provide high-quality, empathetic, and tailored care. 

This focus is especially critical amidst a global shortage of well-trained Arabic-speaking therapists, as the demand for mental health services rises and societal stigma diminishes.

Unlike other platforms, Arab Therapy offers more than just a directory of therapists; it provides a comprehensive service connecting individuals with licensed mental health professionals, including therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists. 

This approach emphasizes personalized care, effectiveness, and privacy, leveraging technology to make mental health support more accessible and less stigmatized.

The recent investment enables Arab Therapy to expand into new markets, catering to a wider and more diverse audience. 

This expansion encompasses geographic reach and tailoring services to meet the unique mental health needs of different regions, thereby enhancing relevance and accessibility.

 Arab Therapy plans to launch business-to-business (B2B) sales operations, collaborating with corporations, educational institutions, and healthcare providers. Through these partnerships, the platform aims to integrate its mental health services into employee wellness programs and institutional support systems, extending its reach further.

Tareq Dalbah, Co-Founder and CEO of Arab Therapy, emphasized the significance of this funding for expanding the reach and improving technology, particularly in addressing the escalating mental health needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Gaza.”
