About Sonia Care Sonia Care is an online therapy service delivered by licensed clinicians through an affiliated California professional entity and supported by Sonia Health’s technology.

Sonia AI is a separate mental health companion designed to support reflection, skills practice, and journaling between appointments. It is built in collaboration with researchers, psychologists, and licensed mental health professionals and draws on evidence-based behavioral principles.

In a randomized controlled trial with approximately 400 participants, people using Sonia’s AI reported improvements in mood and reductions in stress.

Sonia Care combines licensed human therapy with optional between-appointment support from Sonia AI. Members initially receive a 60-minute intake and two 45-minute therapy sessions per month, generally every other week, alongside access to the Sonia app. The clinician retains independent clinical judgment and is responsible for the therapy they provide. Sonia AI does not diagnose, determine level of care, replace the clinician, or operate as a crisis service.

We are looking for thoughtful California clinicians who provide excellent teletherapy and want to help establish a responsible model of AI-supported care.
