Meet the Owner

A note from Howard (Howie) Gerver
Founder & Owner

Hi — I’m Howie!
MindBridge is built from a place of love. It is neither investor-owned, nor private equity-owned. This allows management to keep the prices low.

Born of a Father's Love

I built this as a loving father, not from a business plan.

For seventeen years, my son Adam lived with mental health challenges. I saw how hard real help can be to reach — how often it costs too much, takes too long, or buries you in red tape at the very moment you have the least strength to fight through it.

Adam passed away in 2001, at 32 years old. Through organ donation, he saved four lives — still giving, even at the end.

The Mission

Why I built MindBridge.care

I built MindBridge.care because of Adam. The goal is simple: make it easier for the next person to reach support than it was for us.

A price almost anyone can say yes to

Among the most affordable mental health support in the country — because cost should never be the reason someone goes without.

Always a real, licensed human

Every conversation is with a licensed professional, available 24/7. Never a bot, never a script.

A Different Kind of Owner

I’m in my sixties now. I care less about building something big than something good — something that gives back. No partners waiting on a return. No one pushing me to charge more, or care less.

Every decision comes down to one question:

Is this right for the person who needs help?

That's the whole promise.

If MindBridge.care ever helps you, or someone you love, through a hard stretch — that’s Adam’s legacy, still reaching outward.
