About

Hello, I’m Harshali. I started TinT.

​

Before TinT, I started a newsletter called Dog Ears For Your Career as a corner for Mental-health+Tech news, project, and people.

​

Before DEFYC I started a startup called The Mental Health Company. I was building speech and vision intelligence tools for training and supervision for therapists, solving for the mental health provider shortage by building for effective training.

​

Before TMHC I was running an email group, coaching therapists to hone their skills and create multiple sources of income via disciplines like design and research, in order to ease up some of the finical burden off of their therapy practice.

​

All of this started when I first became an experience designer for a pioneering psychiatrist-psychotherapist. I was designing an online group therapy experience for them when the COVID pandemic hit. Talk about timing.

​

I've collaborated with therapists as an experience designer, event manager, community organiser, sketch-noter, grants writer, career pivots counsellor, cat-sitter, that one time as a wall painter, and more recently as an AI product founder.
​

The point I’m trying to make is, I’ve observed the clinical community from both inside and out.

​

I’m not a clinician. I’m a tech worker. The amount of money and tools at my disposal simply because I was amongst other product builders was a little ridiculous. So I started passing over some of it to my peers in the clinical world. One project led to another, and then another, until I became a bridge person between technology and psychology.

​

And that’s how we’re here today.

​

I believe basic tech literacy is a necessity to survive in any profession. Advanced tech literacy allows you to thrive and grow your practice.

​

With this newsletter, the hope is to make therapists feel secure, confident, and creative about their practice. The hope is to have therapists develop their own understanding of the tech world and their own skills to navigate it.

​

The hope is to have therapists sit with product builders like me, building tools that are clinically informed, honest, and wholesome.

Why Subscribe?

If you're a clinician, subscribe because you need an informed, fact backed response when people say AI will take your job.

​

If you're a technologist, designer, or product builder, investor or operator in the mental health space, subscribe to develop a clinical lens toward technology and a vocabulary to collaborate with therapists.
