Mental Health Therapist

Join Valera Health, a leader at the forefront of tele-mental health, where your passion for compassionate, evidence-based care meets purpose. We are dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible and affordable for all. We’re currently expanding our team and looking for exceptional, driven mental health therapists for full-time roles.

At Valera Health, we believe exceptional mental healthcare starts with supporting exceptional providers. Founded by clinicians who know how hard it is to find quality care for everyone, especially underserved communities, we’ve built something different—a place where you can focus entirely on what you do best: providing compassionate, evidence-based care to those who need it most. 

As a therapist with Valera, you'll treat the complex cases others turn away—from mild anxiety to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder—while our dedicated administrative team handles all the scheduling, billing, and prior authorizations. This means you can practice at the top of your license alongside psychiatrists, medical assistants, and care coordinators, delivering care that truly transforms lives.
