About Lavender: Our Story

Proudly Nurse-Founded and Led

Brighid Gannon and Pritma Dhillon-Chattha

“We’re Brighid and Pritma, two nurses who met at Yale and bonded over our shared passion for mental health. We saw firsthand how broken the system was and decided to create our own company to increase access to mental health care. We’re just a couple of nurses on a mission to make mental health care work for real people through talk therapy and medication management.”
