Two veterans, a psychiatric institute, and a problem nobody was solving fast enough.
mySHO Inc. builds digital therapeutics for schools, communities and clinicians. We exist because the gap between the number of young people who need clinical support and the number of clinicians available to give it is not closing — and waiting for it to close is not a plan.
Care that doesn't depend on a referral coming through
mySHO was founded in 2019 by two military veterans, Terry O. Williams and A.J. Pasha. The premise was simple and uncomfortable: in the settings where young people actually spend their days, clinical mental-health capacity runs out long before need does. A school counselor carrying hundreds of students cannot see them all. A student who needs help in October and gets an appointment in February was not served.
So rather than build another referral tool, we built the support itself into the school day — clinician-authored, delivered to every student, with a clinical pathway waiting for the ones who need more. The content is not improvised by software. It was written by clinicians through a seven-year partnership with the UCSF Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, and the technology selects, sequences and personalizes it rather than generating it.
That distinction is the company. Everything else — the platform, the billing model, the partner network — exists to get clinician-authored care in front of a young person on a Tuesday morning, and to make sure cost is not the reason it stops.
Who you'll actually be working with
A small team, deliberately — clinical, technical and operational leadership in the same room.
Terry O. Williams
Military veteran. Co-founded mySHO in 2019 and leads the company's partnerships across education, Medicaid and community health.
A.J. Pasha
Military veteran with 25+ years in technology leadership. Runs delivery, operations and the program's implementation in the field.
Dr. Tammy L. Hughes, Ph.D., ABPP
Professor at Duquesne University, Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a Board Certified School Psychologist. Holds the clinical line on what the program does and does not claim.
Omaur Bliss
Leads platform engineering and the integrations that let the program run inside a school's existing systems.
Lee Davis
Leads community partnerships and mySHO's community violence intervention (CVI) work — the programs that reach young people at elevated risk outside a school building. Based in Western Pennsylvania.
Gen. Rufus Smith (Ret.)
Leads mySHO's work with the Department of Defense (DOD) and veteran communities, extending the same clinician-authored model to service members, veterans and their families.
The people whose work sits underneath ours
Allen Billings
Leads the digital care infrastructure the mySHO platform is built on.
John Denning
An architect of the Epic electronic health record and MyChart. The care-coordination layer under mySHO is built to the standards of systems already trusted by health systems.
Two regulatory worlds, at the same time
A clinical program delivered inside a school has to satisfy education privacy law and health privacy law simultaneously. That shapes everything about how the platform is engineered.
The exercise library was authored through a seven-year partnership with the institute. Clinicians write the content; the technology selects, sequences and personalizes it. It does not generate clinical material.
Care coordination and billing infrastructure — not an electronic health record, but the layer underneath that lets clinical work be delivered and reimbursed at scale.
The program reaches the whole roster, not only the students who read English first.
The National Best Practice Network
Sites running the program meet monthly to compare what is actually working.
