Notes from the Founder
“We founded BeeThere so therapists can focus fully on the therapeutic work instead of notes. If BeeThere can give you back a little more time to listen, reflect, or simply end your day a little earlier, then we've built what we hoped for.
We'll BeeThere for you, so you can be there for your clients.”
