SAN FRANCISCO (October 28, 2025) – Thatch has partnered with Grow Therapy (Grow), a mental health platform, to add its rigorously vetted network of more than 23,000 providers to the Thatch Marketplace. Together, the organizations will give members streamlined access to quality mental health care while enabling employers to offer comprehensive, affordable mental health benefits without added administrative burden. The Thatch Marketplace is a curated ecosystem of high-impact health and wellness services, all available through the same tax-free allowance members already use for insurance.

Mental health care is one of the most vital but underutilized healthcare services. Nearly half of Americans with mental health conditions go untreated, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.1 For many, high out-of-pocket costs and the challenge of finding the right provider stand in the way. Thatch and Grow Therapy address both obstacles, expanding Grow’s national reach while delivering greater value to Thatch members.

With this partnership, Thatch members can now book licensed therapy and psychiatry sessions using their existing healthcare dollars.  Employers are able to offer a competitive benefit that integrates directly into the Thatch platform, eliminating uncertainty about where to direct employees for high-quality, affordable mental health services. Grow’s platform expertly matches Thatch members with mental health providers equipped to meet their needs. The search for the right fit can be customized based on characteristics ranging from treatment specialty, age, race, ethnicity, gender, and language. 

“At Grow, we’re focused on innovative ways to expand access to mental health care that enhance quality of life, boost productivity, and support overall well-being, while also helping employers manage rising costs,” said Manoj Kanagaraj, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder of Grow. “Thatch’s modern Marketplace offers a strong opportunity to pursue these goals with a partner who shares our vision, and we’re excited about what we can achieve together.”

"We’re seeing companies place a stronger focus on mental health benefits, and Grow has the scale and quality to actually deliver,” said Chris Ellis, Co-founder and CEO of Thatch. “Adding Grow’s proven network is another step toward our vision of delivering true choice for employees and real savings for employers through modern, personalized benefits. We're excited about the partnerships we're building into 2026 and beyond.”
