CalSouthern alumnus Dr. Michael Aharoni, a pioneer in the field of video therapy, brings mental health services to underserved populations.
For Dr. Michael Aharoni, the seed of inspiration was sewn more than 10 years ago. It was the result of a conversation he had with his sister-in-law. She owned an agency that supplied interpreting services for the hearing impaired, and was experimenting with an application that could enable her to provide these services to her clients via video, rather than having to dispatch sign language experts to remote locations. It would result in tremendous business efficiencies. Would Dr. Aharoni be interested in investing in the idea?
