Integrates behavioral health into OBGYN & Family Medicine practices for new/expectant moms, addressing maternal mental health.
Founded in 2022 by Chief Executive Officer Doctor Jessica Gaulton, Boston-based FamilyWell Health integrates virtual behavioral health services into OBGYN and family medicine practices. The platform provides new and expectant mothers across five United States markets, including Massachusetts and Texas, with access to therapists, psychiatrists, and peer coaches to address postpartum depression and maternal mental health gaps. The enterprise recently secured an $8 million Series A funding round in November 2025 led by New Markets Venture Partners, with earlier participation from the 406 Ventures firm. The organization receives strategic guidance from clinical advisory board members like Neel Shah, who serves as Chief Medical Officer at Maven Clinic, alongside executives Bridget Stewart and Kate O'Leary. Capital from this recent financing will support the expansion of its artificial intelligence capabilities and broader women's health services covering perimenopause and menopause.

FamilyWell Health is a digital health company that provides integrated perinatal mental health services through a collaborative care model, embedding behavioral health teams—including coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists—directly into obstetric (OB/GYN) clinics and women's health practices.[1][2][3][5] It serves obstetric clinics, women's health practices, and health systems by offering tech-enabled, insurance-reimbursable support for pregnant and postpartum patients, addressing postpartum depression, anxiety, and related risks like suicide and overdose, while expanding to cover the full reproductive lifecycle from fertility through menopause.[1][2][4][6] The company solves access barriers—such as long wait times for external mental health care—via early risk stratification, measurement-based care, virtual sessions, and seamless workflow integration, which improves clinical outcomes, reduces disparities, and boosts clinic revenue through billable Collaborative Care Management (CoCM) services covered by commercial and Medicaid plans.[1][3][5] With over 120 employees, $4M+ in prior funding, and a recent $8M Series A in November 2025, FamilyWell operates in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Illinois, and Texas, serving more than 200,000 lives and showing strong growth momentum through partnerships and AI enhancements.[4][5][6]
FamilyWell Health was founded by Dr. Jessica Gaulton, a physician and CEO who built the startup "by moms for moms" to tackle maternal mental health crises, drawing from personal insights into the challenges of perinatal depression and fragmented care.[3][6] The idea emerged from recognizing that obstetric clinics are ideal integration points for mental health support, avoiding 6+ month community wait times; Gaulton launched with a suite of services including personalized care coordinators, peer texting hotlines, and telehealth with coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists.[3] Early traction came via partnerships with OB/GYN practices, leveraging evidence-based collaborative care billing codes for sustainable, insurance-covered delivery.[2] Backed by investors like 406 Ventures and New Markets Venture Partners, the company has evolved from perinatal focus to broader women's mental wellness, including perimenopause and menopause, fueled by its November 2025 $8M Series A to drive national expansion.[3][4][6]
FamilyWell rides the surging demand for integrated women's mental health tech amid a perinatal crisis—where 1 in 3 women face lifetime mental health issues, suicide leads maternal deaths, and screening rates lag below 10% for Medicaid—capitalizing on post-pandemic telehealth adoption and value-based care shifts.[4][5][6] Timing aligns with insurer pushes for reimbursable CoCM models and AI-driven personalization, enabling scalable empathy in underserved reproductive health.[2][3][7] Market forces like rising maternal morbidity costs and health equity mandates favor its approach, as it influences ecosystems by training providers via FamilyWell Academy and partnering with systems like Maven Clinic (via advisor Dr. Neel Shah), setting standards for embedding behavioral health in primary women's care.[2][4][6]
FamilyWell is poised for national scaling with its $8M Series A, prioritizing AI innovations for predictive care, deeper health system partnerships, and FamilyWell Academy growth to train thousands in women's mental health.[4][6] Trends like menopause awareness (70% affected), Medicaid expansions, and AI-health intersections will propel it toward $100M+ revenue potential by proving ROI in high-cost populations.[3][6] Its influence may evolve into a category leader, reshaping OB/GYN standards and reducing maternal mortality disparities, building on its clinic-embedded model that turns overlooked crises into sustainable, empathetic tech solutions.[1][7]
