Our Mission
We help individuals feel seen, heard, and connected—through group therapy that fosters healing, emotional resilience, and meaningful relationships.
At Kinnect Health, we believe no one should go through mental health challenges alone. Our virtual group therapy program brings together individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and personality disorders in safe, expertly guided groups. Participants learn together, support each other, and form deep connections that help sustain long-term wellness.
Kinnect was founded to bridge the gap between clinical care and emotional connection. Our program is built on research-backed methods and inspired by the power of peer support. Every group is guided by a licensed therapist and grounded in shared experience, mutual understanding, and real growth.
Science Meets Compassion
Kinnect Health integrates evidence-based clinical practice with ongoing research to ensure effective outcomes. Our clinical model draws on techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), delivered in a group setting that amplifies impact through connection.
Our advisory team includes clinicians and researchers from leading institutions who guide program development and outcome tracking. We are committed to measuring what matters—improvements in connection, coping, and emotional wellness.
