On this episode of Work Made Human, Nichole Mendez and Jill Veglahn sit down with Sophia Noori, co-founder and CEO of Nema Health, to challenge everything we thought we knew about the "dose" of mental health care.

A Yale-trained psychiatrist and former Chief Resident of Digital Psychiatry, Sophia shares her journey on building a startup that helps trauma survivors achieve recovery in weeks rather than years. We dive into why the traditional once-a-week therapy model might be failing high-acuity patients, how to design a workplace that protects clinician emotional capacity, and why "vicarious joy" is the ultimate antidote to burnout.

Read 3 Things We Learned About the "Dose" of Recovery from Sophia Noori of Nema Health to explore the science of intensive therapy, the importance of bearing witness in a world of AI, and why Sophia still picks up her jazz saxophone.
