Garcia
Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer
Sonia Garcia is the co-founder and Chief Growth Officer of Amae Health. Her mission is deeply personal—after losing her father to suicide at 16 and supporting her brother through his journey with schizoaffective disorder, Sonia has dedicated her life to transforming the mental health system with compassion, innovation, and urgency. A Knight-Hennessy Scholar with an M.S. in Engineering Design Impact from Stanford University’s d.school, Sonia’s expertise lies at the intersection of human-centered design and mental healthcare innovation. Her thesis explored new models of care delivery, a vision she has since brought to life. Before launching Amae Health, she was instrumental in scaling Brightline, the nation’s first digital pediatric behavioral health company. Sonia’s leadership and impact have earned her national recognition, including being named to Inc.’s Female Founders 2025 and Business Insider’s 30 Under 40 in Healthcare. She continues to be a driving force in behavioral health, advocating for accessible, high-quality care that meets people where they are.
