Dr. Simbiat Adighije built Conscientia Health to solve a problem that never should have existed. She saw working professionals and college students trying to navigate life without any mental health support. They were holding it together, showing up for their jobs, and doing what they were supposed to do. But no one was asking how they were really doing.
Most of them didn’t think they needed therapy. They weren’t in crisis. They weren’t falling apart. They were just tired, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Dr. Sim wanted to reach them before things got worse.
“We need to start thinking about mental health checkups the same way we think about annual physicals,” she says. “You don’t have to be in crisis to talk to someone.”
That mindset is the foundation of Conscientia Health. They serve over 12,000 patients in 33 states and 16 countries. Their multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners and therapists have the knowledge and experience to support clients to cope, recover, and break free from mental illness. It is designed for people who look fine on the outside but are carrying more than they can manage. It’s built for those who don’t know where to start or are too afraid to start.
Dr. Sim describes them as “everyday people.” Many are professionals, college students, or young parents who are in motion. They are dealing with life transitions that seem manageable on the surface. Underneath, though, there is often stress, grief, anxiety, or burnout.
“These are not people who are broken,” Dr. Sim says. “They just need support. And they need someone to see them clearly.”
Support is not always easy to find. Many mental health care options are expensive, impersonal, or confusing. Conscientia offers a different model. Patients can use insurance. Matching is fast and personal. Most appointments are done through telehealth, which gives people more flexibility.
Dr. Sim didn’t create this platform to follow a trend. She started it before virtual mental health care became mainstream. She had just lost her mother. Helping others became a way to heal herself.
“I didn’t go into this for money,” she says. “My first 500 patients were free. I wanted to help. I knew this was my gift.”
That sense of purpose has shaped the entire company. Providers are chosen for compassion and presence. Dr. Sim personally interviews and trains every clinician. Credentials matter, but character comes first.
“You can’t teach someone to care,” she says. “Patients know when they are being seen and heard.”
