My WhyAbout Us
Our mission is to empower therapists to deliver accessible, high-quality therapy.
Here's Our Why
Mental health has touched every member of our team, which is why we're passionate about making therapy more accessible while helping therapists build sustainable practices.
That mission started with husband-and-wife founders Raunak and Sanjana, longtime therapy-goers who got fed up with superbills and decided to do something about it.
Our Values
We are a values-driven company. We have not accepted any institutional funding to date and pride ourselves on building with intention and care for the space.
Empathy
Empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We actively seek to understand both therapists and clients, internalize their frustrations of navigating a broken system, and continuously evolve our product and operations in step with their needs.
Innovation
We don't believe in 'good enough.' We ask the hard questions and reject the status quo, bringing bold, practical solutions no one else is trying to make therapy work for everyone.
Get-it-done
With limited resources and big goals, we approach our work with scrappiness, creativity, and a deep sense of personal responsibility. Every team member is empowered to act like an owner: rolling up their sleeves, showing up where they are most needed, and doing the often unglamorous work with patience and attention-to-detail. We are proud of our team: driven, mission-aligned, and deeply motivated to make a real impact within the therapy world.
Resilience
Insurance isn't an easy world to navigate. They change policies, they deny claims, and they take advantage of hardworking clinicians and hopeful clients. But we won't back down. Our mission is too important to let challenges hold us back. We're committed to pushing through the tough moments, learning from our setbacks, and coming back stronger every time.

Especially as a neurodivergent clinician, I love the fact that I can just quickly charge clients at the end of sessions vs remembering to send out an invoice and reminding clients to pay said invoice. This makes my ADHD brain happy and I've heard from my clients that they prefer this method as well - a win-win!

Thrizer is a complete godsend! It has made my cash pay services infinitely easier access for clients, which improves their engagement and attendance. It’s also helped with marketing my practice so I can confidently support people with accessing their OON benefits - no complex paper trail or hours on the phone. I only wish Thrizer had been around sooner!

I love Thrizer. I've been using it since 2022 when I started the journey to go out-of-network for my practice. Now about 40-50% of folks I work with use Thrizer to help them access OON benefits, and I always get really excited when I see folks have Thrizer Pay and only have to pay a portion of my fee. I also love being able to offer Thrizer as an option for neurodivergent folks, students, or other folks who are really busy as a way to make submitting superbills easier.

Thrizer is my favorite tech tool I use in my private practice—and I'm trying out all the tech tools! Thrizer dramatically reduces the cost of therapy for my clients with good OON benefits, and they love not having to deal with submitting superbills. I love that it's free to me. Thrizer has also been very responsive to any questions or issues. 10/10 recommend Thrizer to any private practice or group practice!

The Thrizer team's patience, quick response time, and attentiveness have made for such a positive experience. They make billing out-of-network so simple and streamlined; I get my full rate, my clients only pay what they owe, and there's no time wasted in submitting claims or dealing with superbills - Thrizer takes care of it all!

The site is intuitive and easy to use and the team is very good at communicating. My clients can ease into therapy and afford it comfortably without having the worry of wondering when the reimbursement will come. From the clinical side, all my payments are disbursed every Friday with no issues. It's a win, win for everyone!

Deciding to start a solo practice was a little daunting. I am grateful to have found Thrizer - for my clients and myself. The customer service is top notch and the tools are effective.

I love Thrizer because it allows me to provide more personalized care that aligns with the goals of my practice, while also still making therapy financially accessible for clients. Knowing Thrizer is there to take care of the insurance side of things is a big weight off of my clients and myself. Thank you Thrizer!

Thrizer is particularly helpful for clients who clinically need weekly therapy, but may only be able to afford biweekly therapy sessions. It has made a big difference for these clients and increased their positive outcomes.

Thrizer has been a great insulator from the stress of insurance companies for both me and my clients. Their easy setup process allows clients to understand their benefits right away and budget for therapy accordingly.

Thrizer has improved our operations and processes exponentially. We have cut down on at least 10 hours weekly of admin time. We are reallocating time to client care initiatives, hiring new providers, opening new therapy groups, helping clients access specialized care via our advertising and marketing campaigns. The list is almost endless.
