About HoldHealth
We help mental health professionals practicing in Canada—and those in comparable systems, including the United States—choose their digital tools with confidence, not confusion.
Virtual platforms, electronic health records (EHRs), and practice software now form the foundation of modern mental health care. Yet too often, clinicians are left to navigate this landscape alone, making rushed decisions based on marketing rather than what works in practice.
Hold Health was created to change that. We cut through the noise to help you find technology that fits your practice, your clients, and your workflow.
Why We Exist
In mental health, technology is never just a tool. It shapes privacy, trust, workflow, and client safety.
A poorly chosen system creates friction—interrupting sessions, complicating documentation, and quietly fueling burnout.
The right system fades into the background, supporting the therapeutic relationship instead of competing with it.
We believe clinicians deserve more than a rushed decision. You deserve honest, practical guidance grounded in clinical reality.
Our Focus
Hold Health provides education and systems-level analysis centered on:
- Telepsychiatry and virtual care platforms
- Privacy, data governance, and compliance
- Sustainable digital workflows for clinical practice
- Thoughtful evaluation of mental health technology
Our work is grounded in the Canadian healthcare context, with insights tailored to clinicians practicing in similar regulatory environments, including the United States.
Our Approach
- Clinician-informed, not marketing-driven: Our guidance is rooted in real clinical workflows, not sales pitches.
- Privacy and ethics as clinical responsibilities: Security, consent, and data stewardship are treated as foundations of care.
- Independent and transparent analysis: Tools are reviewed critically and clearly, free from external influence.
- Practical, real-world guidance: We help you ask better questions and make confident decisions.
To support our work, Hold Health may earn a commission through affiliate partnerships—at no additional cost to you. This allows us to provide independent, in-depth evaluations and keep our resources freely accessible.
Who We Serve
Hold Health is designed for:
- Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses
- Psychologists and psychotherapists
- Mental health clinicians in private or group practice
- Clinic leaders and digital mental health teams
Whether you’re launching virtual care or reassessing your current systems, our goal is to help you build a digital foundation that supports high-quality, sustainable practice.
What We Do—and Don’t Do
We provide educational content and systems-level insights for mental health professionals. We do not offer clinical care, therapy, supervision, or legal advice.
Looking Ahead
Digital mental health will continue to evolve. Platforms will change. Regulations will shift. Throughout it all, the need for careful, clinician-led evaluation will remain.
Hold Health is committed to publishing resources, reviews, and frameworks with clarity, care, and respect for the responsibilities you carry.
