Pros

The leadership team at this company genuinely cares about employees and tries to provide a positive work environment. This is a fairly new company and there seems to be fairly open communication and acknowledgement that lots of transition is happening. Team leads do their best to provide a space for therapists to process transitions and gain support. If you are not a provider that is able to or wants to do private practice, Sokya seems like one of the healthier work environments in the grand scheme of large tech/MH startups.

Cons

SokyaHealth has received funding via private equity, which means that employees will never see significant financial gains, as any leftover revenue will be focused on paying back investors rather than increasing provider pay. While it may be good for the company's growth, the move ultimately leaves therapists behind. It remains to be seen if leadership can find a way to balance the needs of the company with those of their employees. Additionally, Sokya has added a TON of unnecessary leadership roles, many of which have no idea what clinicians do or how healthcare works. And the more non-revenue producing leadership roles there are, the less the providers take home as their revenue needs to pay for these roles.

Pros

Remote first workplace Amazing coworkers

Cons

Leadership isn't knowledgeable in the health care field. They are on to turn profit and then sell the company, just as their background shows. Toxic work environment, including favoritism, gaslighting employees, inequitable pay, and running employees into the ground.

Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you had a positive experience with your coworkers and appreciated the flexibility of a remote-first environment, we strongly disagree with your portrayal of our organization. Our leadership team is focused on building a sustainable, mission-driven organization grounded in high-quality mental health care—not short-term gain. We are committed to fostering a respectful, equitable, and mission-driven workplace. Clear expectations, structured support, and accountability are core to how we operate across all teams. Allegations of toxicity or misconduct do not reflect the standards we uphold or the environment we work hard to maintain. We stand by our values and remain focused on our mission of delivering high-quality mental health care.

Pros

Remote work is a big plus; the role of an intake specialist is independent, so not much micro-managing; everyone is very nice. They are flexible and understanding when it comes to taking time off or needing to flex hours for leaving early/clocking in late.

Cons

This company has an entirely wrong approach to mental health. Intake specialists are not crisis-trained and receive very little information for dealing with mental health clients. We are driven to use sales techniques in order to persuade people into scheduling appointments. There is very little concern for client wellbeing or training staff to appropriately handle crisis calls, but there is a huge emphasis on scheduling as many intakes as possible. A company has to make money, so I understand there is a need for clientele; however, this company has such an unethical approach. Calling people 5-6 times a day throughout the week. Not offering consultations with the providers (they expect the intake specialists to decide if a provider is a “good fit” instead of allowing clients to decide for themselves). It feels very icky working for an organization that claims to value mental health but clearly does not.
