Psychiatrist (MD/DO) - Remote (Independent Contractor) - Rula Health

Who we are

Rula is a comprehensive behavioral health solution, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Rula takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Rula, it’s easy to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric clinician who accepts insurance and is actively accepting new patients.

We are deeply committed to providing high-quality care that improves the lives of patients, investing in the providers who deliver that care, and always operating in an ethical and compliant manner.

What we're solving

Over 65 million Americans have a treatable mental health issue — that’s 1 in 5 people. Today it’s difficult to find a provider, and for those with complicated conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find coordinated care. There’s a good chance someone close to you could have used the help, even if it wasn’t obvious to the people around them. We’re here to fix this.
