About Valera Health
Valera Health is a virtual behavioral healthcare practice specializing in high-acuity mental health care for patients ages 6 and above with serious mental illness and severe depression. The company uses a team-based care model with health coaches, therapists, and physicians working together to deliver longitudinal care. Valera emphasizes measurable quality through patient-reported outcome measures collected at various intervals, supported by a unified electronic medical record and digital platform. In 2024, Valera raised $9.1M toward an $18.2M funding round, and in June 2025 acquired Vita Health, a digital suicide prevention startup, to expand clinical capacity for acute patients. Valera has received NCQA accreditation for Credentialing and Recredentialing and is positioning for value-based care contracting that rewards clinical quality over volume. The company partners with major health plans including Humana, CDPHP, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
