With the growing demand for digital mental health services and the increasing need for solutions that respect Arabic language and culture, Arab Therapy continues to expand its model in the HealthTech market. They do this by combining remote psychotherapy, specialized content, and AI tools developed specifically in Arabic. The company is betting on addressing a gap that isn't just about difficulty accessing specialists, but also extends to the limited mental health services that consider the cultural and linguistic background of Arab users, whether within the region or among the millions of Arabs living abroad. Arab Therapy was founded in 2021 by Dr. Tarek Dalbah, Omar Qudsi, and Hikmat Al-Hassi. Dr. Dalbah's professional experience in Germany led him to discover this gap; while working as a psychiatrist, he noticed that patients of Arab origin felt more comfortable when they could communicate with a specialist who understood their language, culture, and social background.
