About

Dr. Singh’s journey in mental healthcare began with a deep-rooted passion for serving individuals facing complex psychological challenges. Trained at Teachers College, Columbia University and in Adult Clinical Psychology at the Ferkauf Graduate School, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University, she specialized in neurocognitive testing and individual psychotherapy in the adult outpatient setting. Her training particularly focused on Severe Mental Illness (SMI) and trauma survivor populations. This foundational experience, coupled with hands-on work with genocide survivors in Rwanda, made her truly respect human beings’ capacity for resilience. 

 

Looking to solve issues of stigma, parity, and access in mental healthcare, she turned to technology as a tool to serve those in need. She ventured into the entrepreneurial world and founded wayForward, a first-of-its-kind digital behavioral health startup. Here, she harnessed the power of data science and technology to deliver personalized, evidence-based care. Her venture touched many lives via enterprise and health plan clients, constantly evolving to identify and help those in need. 

 

Dr. Singh successfully exited wayForward to Dario Health (DRIO) in 2021. As the Chief Behavioral Science Officer at Dario, she continued to break new ground by leading the integration of behavioral science principles into chronic disease products. This role allowed her to help people with a broader range of health issues, reinforcing her belief that there is no health without mental health.

My Journey

 A little more about why I might be a good fit for your emotional health needs

As the founder of wayForward, a venture in digital mental healthcare, I've journeyed through the exhilarating yet demanding world of entrepreneurship. This experience has helped me understand the unique pressures and challenges that founders, executives, and leaders of all kinds face. 

 

My journey allows me to deeply connect with high-performing individuals. Whatever your needs, I combine my psychological expertise with my real-world experiences to provide targeted support to help you flourish amidst challenges.

 

Whether it is the task of building something from the ground up, the relentless drive to innovate, the stress of managing a large global team, or the weight of decision making and risk taking. These feelings are not just difficult to manage, but can make even the steadiest parts of who you are feel challenged. However, being pushed to your limit can also enable you to find your true grit and resilience. It is more than a career choice; it's a journey full of highs and lows, uncertainties and triumphs. 

 

Together, we will explore ways to harness stress as a catalyst for growth, develop resilience in the face of uncertainty, and cultivate a mindset geared toward sustained high performance and personal fulfillment. My goal is to empower you not just to succeed in your professional endeavors, but to thrive in all aspects of your life, fortified by a robust mental and emotional foundation.
