Company
Valera Health was founded by a team of clinicians and psychiatrists, providing keen insight into the needs of our patients. Recognizing the tools needed to provide complete care, we’ve adopted a thoughtful approach to therapeutic and medical services. Our mission is driven by our need to provide high-quality telehealth services to our patients, making the process easy and accessible. Our telehealth outcomes are extremely positive, and we credit that to Valera’s complete care model, which focuses on prioritizing a patient’s overall mental health.
Through strategic planning and measured growth, we’ve expanded our network of insurers, accepting in-network benefits for millions of patients across the United States.
Our team consists of expert-level licensed clinicians, therapists, and psychiatrists. We take into consideration the needs of our patients, and have built a team of specialists with experience in a variety of areas.
Inclusive Clinical Programs 
We know that behavioral healthcare isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’ve tailored our complete care model to meet the needs of the individual. We believe that no one should be excluded from receiving the care they need, and our diverse team reflects the change we bring to the space.
