Patients lack access to proper mental healthcare and while 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year.

UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider and insurer, empowering patients to find the best therapist for their needs at a price they can afford.\n\nAs one of the first members of our Uplift engineering team, you will lay the foundation for our consumer and healthcare provider interfaces, helping to bring a better mental health experience to all patients.
