Access to better mental health care for everyone
Let’s work together to make mental healthcare work the way it should.
See open positionsWhy We’re Here
Each year, more than 65 million Americans seek help for a mental health condition. And due to a broken and frustrating system, 2 out of 3 of those individuals give up before ever getting the help they need.
We can do better. We must do better. Our team is on a mission to do just that.
We’re building the future of mental healthcare; an organization that helps every person access high-quality care from a licensed professional, at a time that works for them and at a cost they can afford.
While our team comes from diverse backgrounds, with distinct experiences and areas of expertise, we are united by our shared passion for helping people get the mental health care they deserve.
We are inspired and energized by the idea that the work we do is directly connected to making an impact in the lives of the people who entrust us with their care.
From our CEO
Our mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone and we can only achieve this by building, and nurturing, the strongest teams. Talent is my #1 priority, and I am grateful for our employees who could work anywhere but chose to be a part of Rula. Thank you for considering joining our team!
