Seven Starling

Seven Starling is a virtual provider of women's behavioral health services, with an initial focus on maternal mental health. Founded in January 2020, the company offers a comprehensive clinical model that combines specialized therapy, peer support, and medication management to address the unique mental health challenges women face during critical periods such as infertility, miscarriage and loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. Seven Starling's services are delivered through a digital platform, making high-quality mental healthcare more accessible for new and expecting mothers. The company's approach includes both individual and group therapy sessions led by specialized mental health providers, evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management, care coordination with a Patient Advocate, and in-app content such as CBT-inspired exercises, journaling prompts, and guided meditations. As of July 2024, over 90% of Seven Starling's patients reported clinically significant improvement in their symptoms upon completing the program. The company operates in several states, including Maryland, Virginia, Texas, New York, and Washington D.C., with plans for further expansion.
