Matched to the Right Practitioner.
Compatibility and Fit over guesswork, in your Preferred Language and within your Budget.
Strong MatchConnecting People, Practitioners, Insurers and Organizations on one Intelligent Rail and Ecosystem, so Mental Healthcare, Cover and Payments Work.
Built by a Team Experienced Across Healthcare, Insurance, Banking and Technology
A billion People need Support, and Practitioners are ready to give it. What stands between them is a slow, scattered System that People give up on before Care even begins.
01Where to start, who fits, what you can afford. Three unknowns, and most People stop at the first.
02Sessions, Notes, Scheduling and Billing scattered across five tools, eating hours every week that could have been Sessions.
03Some weeks you need a Screen, some weeks a Real Room. Most services only offer one of the two.
04Prices are unclear before booking, and Practitioner Payouts can take months.
Heyrafiki links People, Therapists, Insurers and Organizations through One Private Layer for Care, Conversations, Benefits and Payments.

CouplesCare conversations happen everywhere: a WhatsApp at Midnight, an Instagram DM, an Email about a Referral. Heyrafiki brings every channel into One Calm Inbox, sorted by Client, with the full history attached.

Covered21:1407:0212:40A new Client writes at Midnight.
It is waiting in the morning, sorted and private, not lost in a personal chat history.
A Referral arrives by Email.
It becomes a Client thread like any other, so no Referral sits unanswered in another inbox.
A Session gets moved on WhatsApp.
Your Calendar already knows. Iris reschedules around your Availability and preferences, and keeps the thread, the booking and the reminder in step.
Your first Session should begin with one certainty: the Person across from you is licensed and in good standing with the Official Records. Check any Practitioner before you say a word.
Check Anyone, On Heyrafiki or Not.
Run a Name, get a clear answer.
The Official Records, Not a Profile.
Answers come from the Board’s own record, never a self-written bio.
and moreFree for Everyone, Always.
Verification is a public good, not a Premium feature, whoever your Practitioner is and wherever you found them.
Verify a PractitionerGreat Care takes Evidence, Real People, and Infrastructure strong enough to carry both.
Everything we build follows Evidence, from Matching and Measurement to the Protocols behind every Session.
Behind every feature is a Licensed Practitioner, a Real Room and a Real Conversation. Technology never replaces the Person.
A Real ConversationPayments, Records and Claims are carried underneath, so the full hour goes to the Conversation.
Give a whole Workforce, University or Member Base Real Care, with Privacy intact and Utilization you can measure. When People are well, it shows in retention, in performance, and in the numbers your board already watches.
Aggregate Insight, Never Individual Exposure.
Leaders see Wellbeing trends, Utilization and Impact across the whole Organization. Your Organization never sees a Name or a Diagnosis.
Support that Reaches the Whole Campus.
Universities give Students Real Support, in their Language and within their Budget.
Verified Practitioners, Clean Claims.
Insurers reimburse Licensed Care through one clean, standardized Rail.
