Empowering people to get better and stay better.

In 2008, we set out to solve the biggest challenges in behavioral health - how to provide affordable, high-quality mental health care to reduce depression and anxiety, and ultimately help people get better and stay better. Fourteen years and nearly 2 million patient sessions later, we continue to set the industry bar for the highest standard of care: from the way we train and provide clinical guidance to the 2,000+ providers in our network to ensuring our outcomes are peer-reviewed and validated by the scientific community.

Join our mission: we’re excited to announce that AbleTo is now part of Optum, a UnitedHealth Group family of companies. With this new collaboration, you can play a vital role in improving people’s mental health and well-being. We’re hiring compassionate therapists, coaches, and professionals for flexible part-time and full-time roles. If you're in tech and want to solve America's behavioral health crisis with industry-leading innovation, we're also looking for full-time data engineers, developers, and other technical roles.
