Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists growing their practice, and patients accessing high-quality care.

Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever. To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Since launching in February 2021, we’ve empowered more than ten thousand therapists and hundreds of thousands of clients across the country and insurance landscape. We’ve raised more than $178mm of funding from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, and others.

Engineering team principles:
You own what you build. You will feel ownership of the code you write, articulate the importance of the feature, and follow up to ensure it's successful.
We build solutions for our providers and clients. We write code to solve user problems, not just for the sake of solving technical problems.
You are not part of the tech team, but rather part of the team itself! Grow is a tech-enabled business and not a pure software business, so understanding how the business works is integral to your job.

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
We see technology not as a layer on top of care, but as the connective tissue that helps it grow.
Grow Therapy is an online therapy platform that helps you find a therapist who gets you—and takes your insurance. Grow was founded to create end-to-end systems that make therapy easier on both sides: helping therapists launch and grow thriving private practices by removing the friction of credentialing, billing, and insurance, so they can focus on care, and helping clients actually find and afford it.
Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone, and bring Grow’s mission to life from the inside out, pairing bold vision with a culture of balance, belonging, and whole-person wellness.
We believe change starts by empowering therapists. Grow’s smart platform helps independent providers build sustainable practices by handling credentialing, billing, and referrals, so they can focus on what matters. With business tools, a supportive clinical community, and opportunities like CE events and speaking engagements, Grow helps therapists practice with more autonomy and less administrative strain, reducing no-shows, increasing demand, and creating more space for care.
We then help people find those licensed therapists who reflect their lived experience, whether that means shared racial or cultural background, language, identity, or life stage. Our platform makes it easy to search by specialty, availability, and insurance so clients can book care that fits their life and budget.
Today, Grow supports thousands of therapists and prescribers across all 50 states and has delivered care to over 1 million clients. We’re in-network with 100+ major insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and UnitedHealthcare, and have raised more than $178M from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, and Plus Capital.
We believe in benefits that support the whole you. That means two hours each week to care for your mental health, a $600 annual therapy stipend, $500 learning and $300 wellness stipends, a $1,000 remote office setup, free in-office meals, and flexible PTO with a paid December recharge week.
We’re building the future of mental healthcare and that starts with how we care for our own team. If you’re excited by bold challenges and meaningful impact, Grow with us.
Why Work With Us
