# Selia

> Selia is a digital mental health platform providing culturally competent, affordable wellness services specifically designed for Spanish-speaking Latinos across Latin America, the United States, and the World. We connect users with over 500 certified mental health professionals through video sessions, offering mental health, emotional, and corporate wellness solutions.

Founded in 2021 and backed by Y Combinator (W22), Selia addresses the critical gap where 46% of Latinos will develop mental health issues but only 15% seek help, leaving 65+ million without proper care. We've completed over 300,000 therapy sessions with proven outcomes: 71% of patients report wellness improvements and 54% experience anxiety reduction. Our platform serves individuals directly (B2C) and enterprises including Coca-Cola FEMSA, Experian, Starbucks, Habi, WeWork, Tiendas Bara, Promigas, Yuno, Cobre, CENIT (Ecopetrol), and more (B2B).
