Episode Description
What if the tools patients use between therapy sessions mattered more than the sessions themselves?
In this clip from our episode “Fixing the Access Crisis In Mental Health”, host John Driscoll and Mark Frank, Co-Founder and CEO of SonderMind, break down how a fully integrated platform combining 80 digital interventions with an AI coach is producing outcomes up to 275% better than traditional therapy alone.

🎙️⚕️ABOUT MARK FRANK
As the CEO and co-founder of SonderMind, I lead a fast-growing and compassionate team whose mission is to redesign behavioral health to increase access, expand utilization and improve clinical outcomes. Our focus is to democratize behavioral healthcare for both patients and practitioners, by making it easy to access therapists with the right expertise, making it convenient by offering online or in person treatment, and making it affordable by matching patients with highly qualified providers that deliver the most effective care. I believe in leading with transparency, empathy, and courage, and my passion is to build an organization that has a positive and transformative effect on the field of behavioral health and ultimately the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Prior to founding SonderMind in 2015, I helped found three other successful ventures, including Next Oncology, TermScout and SafeImageMD. Prior to my career as an entrepreneur, I worked in healthcare investment banking at Morgan Stanley, as well as time with Lehman Brothers and CDI Global. Prior to my business career, I served as an officer in the US Army. During and after that time in the military, I saw friends and colleagues return from deployments and struggle to access appropriate mental health care. This experience shaped and strengthened my commitment to enhancing access to therapy to improve and enrich people’s lives.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the United States Military Academy at West Point, a Masters in Computer Information Systems from the University of Phoenix, a Masters of Engineering Management from Northwestern University, and an MBA in Finance and Operations from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
