  • Arab Therapy

    Participated · Series A · Aug 2026

    Founded in 2021 by Dr. Tareq Dalbah and Hekmat Al-Hasi, Arab Therapy is a Jordanian company built in Berlin that provides Arabic-language mental health services. Its product includes a mental health content library in Arabic, AI-powered support tools, and online therapy sessions delivered by licensed specialists under a clinical framework supervised by the University of Hamburg. The platform serves both individual consumers and enterprises via B2C and B2B models. Arab Therapy was intentionally developed for Arabic speakers to address linguistic and cultural gaps in existing therapy offerings. Following a $1 million seed in April 2024, the company has now raised an additional $2 million in a pre-Series A to fund expansion, with Saudi Arabia cited as the primary expansion target.
