Grow Therapy Names Seth Bressack Chief Financial Officer

New York, NY, April 15, 2026 — Grow Therapy (Grow), a mental health platform that helps providers deliver high-quality in-person and online therapy and psychiatric care, today named Seth Bressack as the company’s first Chief Financial Officer. Grow arrives at this milestone amid strong momentum: the company recently closed a $150 million Series D round that valued it at $3 billion and was recognized by The Financial Times as one of “The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies.”

In this newly created executive role, Bressack will oversee Grow’s finance organization and drive the financial discipline needed for the company’s next phase of growth. He will focus on capital allocation, operational rigor, and building scalable planning and reporting systems. Working closely with product, clinical, and commercial teams, he will help guide decisions as Grow broadens its partnerships with insurers, expands employer-focused offerings, and strengthens integrations with health systems and primary care providers to make the path from screening to treatment smoother and more connected.

“As Seth and I got to know each other, it became clear he’s an incredible operator and teammate. He cares deeply about our mission, operates with humility and principles, and shares a tenacity to not just succeed but to get a little better each day,” said Jake Cooper, CEO and Co-Founder of Grow Therapy. “At this stage of Grow, having a finance leader of Seth’s caliber changes what’s possible: it lets us invest more thoughtfully, plan with more precision, and build the kind of durable company that our providers, clients, and payor partners deserve. We’re building for the long term, and Seth makes us meaningfully better at that.”

Bressack brings over two decades of finance and operational experience across startups, high-growth software companies, and established public firms. Most recently, as Vice President of Finance at Shopify, he oversaw multi-billion dollar investments in marketing, sales, partnerships, and infrastructure during a period in which the business expanded significantly and scaled globally. At Shopify he contributed to modernizing financial planning and reporting, improving marketing efficiency, and refining pricing strategies to support sustainable, long-term growth. He also worked on investor and analyst communications. Earlier roles include senior leadership positions at MikMak and Sailthru, and seven years at Boston Consulting Group, where he advanced to Principal.

“Grow has a clear and effective approach to improving how people find and stay connected to mental health care,” Bressack said. “The team has built something rare: a model that improves access and experience while also creating long-term durability. That combination is what drew me here, and I’m energized by the opportunity ahead to help the company scale with focus and intention.”

Grow’s current momentum reflects both rising market need for mental health services and the platform’s growing capabilities. The company recently launched an enterprise solution aimed at modernizing employee assistance programs (EAPs) by redesigning employer-sponsored mental health benefits. This approach allows employees to move seamlessly from company-paid visits to insurance-covered care with the same provider, eliminating a common friction point in traditional EAP models and improving continuity of care.

On the clinical side, Grow is expanding technical and workflow integrations with primary care groups such as Circle Medical, enabling physicians to coordinate referrals, share clinical context, and reduce the administrative barriers that often block timely treatment. These partnerships help primary care teams identify behavioral health needs earlier and connect patients with appropriate providers without losing important information across handoffs.

Grow is also investing in clinically guided artificial intelligence to support both providers and clients. The company has introduced AI-assisted tools designed to streamline provider workflows and enhance patient engagement, including an AI journaling tool that helps clients capture progress and reflect between sessions. These technology investments are positioned to boost clinical efficiency while maintaining a clinician-led approach to care.

As Grow scales its commercial relationships with insurers, employers, and health systems, the CFO role will be central to aligning financial strategy with clinical and product priorities. Bressack’s mandate includes strengthening forecasting and reporting, optimizing investments, and ensuring the company can deliver reliable outcomes for providers, clients, and payor partners as it grows.
