Our take
4 in 10 adults in the United States suffer from some form of anxiety or depression, but most go without appropriate support because of difficulties in accessing mental health care providers. Alma exists to meet a growing demand for mental health services by supporting providers in offering online care, and making it easy for people who need help to find qualified, in-network therapist who meets their needs.
There has been something of a boom in the virtual mental health space, and by encouraging online therapy Alma is competing against a plethora of well-funded apps aimed at self help and mental wellbeing offered at a far lower price than regular therapy. However, these are largely unregulated and their quality is often questionable. By prioritising vetted and professional therapists, Alma has provided a real alternative to in-person therapy and this has allowed it to grow rapidly, growing its network to over 8,000 therapists across all 50 states.
Alma's success has also attracted a large amount of funding. This is being used to further expand its network and to develop the tools offered to its providers. Having scaled rapidly through 2022 it is showing no signs of slowing down, and is well poised for future growth.
