About Us

  • At Midsommer, we are a team of active clinicians and strategic partners dedicated to empowering psychotherapy practices across the USA to deliver exceptional, client-centered care. Our mission is to support clinicians with operational expertise, ethical guidance, and professional development, ensuring they can focus on providing high-quality, evidence-based mental health care. We offer equity partnerships, consulting, and continuing education to help practices grow while preserving their identity, integrity, and mission. As active clinicians ourselves, we’ve chosen to fund our work with our own savings, not venture capital, to prioritize our community and avoid external financial pressures.

  • We have deliberately chosen not to accept venture capital funding, instead investing our own savings earned over years of practice. This allows us to focus on giving back to our community, providing top-notch care, and maintaining clinical integrity without the influence of VC-driven financial pressures, which can compromise quality and trust.

  • We are not a therapy practice but the engine behind many successful psychotherapy firms across the USA.
