Our mission and vision
At Emma, we are redefining mental health as something nurtured over time through consistent practices. It’s not always a pathology that needs to be diagnosed, treated, and medicated. We give people the tools to take ownership of their mental wellbeing.
Mental healthcare is broken. There are not enough helping professionals to meet demand. Insurance companies distort pricing. Mental health technology platforms exploit their providers. Medication is often relied on as the first line of defense. Normal challenges are seen as disorders that need to be treated. The list goes on.
We believe that effective mental healthcare is anchored in a return to your self — your true self — and it can only be accessed through consistent effort and practice.
Dr. Shelley Prevost, Founder
I am a licensed therapist (TN #1835 LPC-MHSP), educational psychologist, board certified coach, startup shrink, angel investor, and TEDx speaker. After working as an active angel investor, coach and consultant for the past 7 years, I'm now focused on using AI to deliver holistic mental wellbeing practices that can be taught and integrated into daily life. By rethinking the industry, I want to help us move away from external interventions to a self-empowered model of personal growth that we can practice and sustain in our everyday lives.
