Where Psychology, Technology, and Innovation Converge

APA Labs, backed by American Psychological Association Services Inc. (APASI), was created to accelerate innovation at the intersection of psychology, technology, and mental health. Our mission is to strengthen the mental and behavioral health ecosystem by identifying what works, improving what doesn’t, and helping build what’s missing.
