“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to support SonderMind’s operations as Chief Operating Officer, as the company continues to expand,” said Brannan Schell. “I was initially drawn to SonderMind because of its focus on making mental healthcare more readily accessible to all. I look forward to continuing my work with Mark and the rest of the SonderMind team in pursuit of that mission.”

His work has been essential to the growth of SonderMind's care system, which includes thousands of mental health providers nationwide,” said SonderMind CEO and Co-Founder, Mark Frank. “We are pleased Brannan will continue at SonderMind in an even bigger role as we set our sights on becoming a national behavioral health leader and organization of choice for the therapist community.”
