Teryli founder Christopher Molina is building a neutral coordination platform for behavioral health referrals, placements, and care transitions.
A client is preparing to leave one behavioral health program and enter another. The first organization is closing its chart. The next one has not yet opened. Between those two moments, staff members trade phone calls, leave voicemails, update spreadsheets, and hope that nothing important gets overlooked. Christopher J. Molina spent years watching that fragile process unfold.
“One of the most vulnerable moments in behavioral health treatment isn’t inside any facility. It’s the handoff between two of them,” Molina says. “One organization closes the chart, the next hasn’t opened one, and the client is in the space in between. That space is nobody’s software and nobody’s job. That’s what I’m building Teryli to hold.”
A Behavioral Health Coordination Platform Built From Experience
Molina is the founder of Teryli, a behavioral health coordination platform developed by Teryli Systems LLC in West Palm Beach, Florida. The platform supports the operational work involved in referrals, placements, discharge coordination, and aftercare handoffs between separate organizations.
The idea grew from Molina’s five years in behavioral health operations, most recently as a director of case management. His work gave him a direct view of the systems that treatment teams use every day. It also revealed what those systems often fail to cover.
Electronic health record systems manage information within an organization. Customer relationship management platforms may track a facility’s own pipeline. However, neither was designed to manage the shared operational space where one provider refers a client to another.
That gap often leaves important coordination work dependent on individual staff members and informal processes.
“I spent five years watching good programs run in the memory of one exhausted coordinator,” Molina says. “When that person was out, things fell through in ways no report would ever show you.”
Building The Tool That Operations Teams Needed
Rather than accepting the problem as an unavoidable part of behavioral health operations, Molina decided to build the tool he wished he had while working in case management.
That decision required him to take an unconventional path. Molina did not enter the project as a traditional software engineer or as the leader of an established technology company. He entered as an operator who understood the daily pressure behind referral calls, placement searches, discharge planning, and unanswered follow ups.
Using modern AI assisted development tools, he began translating those operational experiences into a working software platform. The work required him to think beyond individual software features. He had to design a system around the real sequence of decisions made by case managers, treatment teams, referents, residential programs, outpatient providers, and sober living operators.
His operations background became an advantage. Instead of beginning with assumptions about what behavioral health organizations might need, Molina started with the problems he had already encountered firsthand.
The result is a platform that sits beside a facility’s existing electronic health record system rather than replacing it. Teryli does not store clinical or medical records, make clinical decisions, or offer treatment recommendations. Its purpose is to organize the operational relationships and workflows involved when clients move between organizations.
Creating Structure Between Separate Organizations
At the center of Teryli is the understanding that behavioral health care often depends on coordination across a network of independent programs.
A residential facility may need to locate an appropriate outpatient provider. A case manager may need to coordinate a discharge with a sober living operator. A referent may need to confirm availability and communicate placement details across several organizations.
Without a dedicated behavioral health coordination platform, these activities can become scattered across calls, email threads, spreadsheets, personal notes, and staff memory.
Teryli brings those activities into a structured operational environment. Its Program Directory includes more than 1,200 program records from across the United States, giving treatment teams a centralized way to find programs and support referral coordination.
The directory is designed as an operational resource rather than a paid placement marketplace. Teryli does not sell priority ranking, and its subscription price does not change based on how many referrals or placements move through the platform.
Why Neutral Pricing Matters To Teryli
Molina considers the company’s flat subscription model central to its identity. Teryli never ties its pricing to referral or placement volume. It also takes no success fees and does not sell preferential directory placement.
“Our pricing is flat and never tied to referral volume,” Molina says. “In this industry, the platform coordinating placements should never have a financial stake in where a client ends up. That’s not a feature, it’s the foundation.”
That structure reflects a broader belief about technology in behavioral health. The platform should help teams coordinate their work without introducing financial incentives that could influence where a referral is directed.
For organizations, this approach offers predictable pricing while keeping the platform focused on operational consistency. For staff members, it creates a clear separation between coordination tools and placement outcomes.
The company has been selected to participate in the upcoming BetaBlox accelerator and television series and is working with treatment programs and sober living operators in Florida and other markets. As Teryli develops, Molina remains focused on the same overlooked moment that first inspired the platform: the period when responsibility is moving from one organization to another.
Explore A More Reliable Way To Coordinate Care
Teryli’s story is not simply about adding another software platform to behavioral health. It is about giving operational teams a dedicated place to manage work that has long existed between established systems.
For case managers, treatment programs, outpatient providers, sober living operators, and referents, that structure can create greater visibility into referral and placement activity. It can also reduce the dependence on scattered spreadsheets, missed callbacks, and information remembered by a single staff member.
