Licensed Therapist

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in perinatal mental health care? Here's your chance to be a vital part of our client's mission to enhance access to high-quality, equitable, and affordable mental health services for pregnant and postpartum individuals across the U.S.

Background:

We are the first digital health company in the U.S. to provide tech-enabled perinatal behavioral health services through an evidence-based collaborative care model (CoCM). The collaborative care model has been validated in over 90 randomized controlled trials and adopted by Medicaid and many commercial plans across the country, including those in Massachusetts.

The CoCM model allows medical providers to bill insurance companies for perinatal behavioral health care services. We partner with medical providers (OB, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics) to provide mental health prevention, detection, and treatment for pregnant and postpartum patients, with a strong focus in the Medicaid population.
