Making Mental Health CareAccessible for All
We're on a mission to break barriers and bring quality mental healthcare to every Filipino who needs it.
Why We Started Saya
Saya was founded in 2025 with a clear mission: to make quality mental health care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for Filipinos.
We saw the urgent need for trusted, culturally relevant support in a country where mental health remains overlooked due to cost, stigma, and limited access to professionals.
Our platform bridges this gap by connecting Filipinos with licensed counselors and psychologists through a confidential, convenient, and tech-driven approach.
