We’re on a mission to simplify access to

high-quality, affordable mental health care.

THE STATE OF MENTAL HEALTH IN AMERICA

4 in 10

adults report having anxiety or depression.

60%

of adults with mental health concerns do not get the care they need.

11x

harder to find an in-network therapist than a primary care physician.

Mental health care is a very intimate and highly personal experience. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to high-quality care. At Alma, our job is to support providers and champion their expertise so they can focus on meeting clients where they are and partnering with them to achieve lasting results.

Our values

The foundational principles that guide how we work at Alma.

Embrace change.

We begin from a place of curiosity and humility. We are willing to rethink our assumptions and challenge the status quo, moving quickly and courageously when we need to change course. We tackle hard problems with data, instinct, and optimism. We are life-long learners, always seeking opportunities to grow.

Listen first.

We seek to understand each other’s experiences and perspective, and we treat each other with respect. We routinely express gratitude and proactively look for ways to support one another’s professional and emotional wellbeing.

Build equity.

We acknowledge our privilege and seek to understand how the products we build and processes we implement impact all people. We take diverse perspectives into account as we make decisions, and we are intentional about the goals and timelines we set in order to build an equitable organization.

Communicate honestly.

We have the courage to seek the truth about ourselves, each other, and the problems we are solving together. We speak with candor and without drama, appreciating direct and actionable feedback that makes us and the business better.

Act like an owner.

We act like owners, understanding that we are all collectively responsible for Alma's success. Everyone at Alma has a purpose, is accountable for their purpose, and is empowered to succeed as an owner of their purpose.

Alma’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion

At Alma, we aim to create initiatives and programs that support people from all backgrounds and lived experiences. Everyone in the Alma ecosystem plays a role in sustaining a safe, caring, and humane environment where our DEI principles can thrive. This work amplifies Alma’s mission to simplify access to high-quality, equitable, and affordable mental health care.
