Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist​/NY

About Fort Health is a mental health company that is on a mission to “Opening more paths to better care for more families”. We're all about making a real difference in the lives of children and adolescents. With a whopping 50% of kids in the US missing out on mental health care, we're determined to change that statistic. And with a market size of over $50 billion, we're not just dreaming big - we're making it happen!

Our vision? Picture this: a world where every child has access to the support they need to thrive mentally and emotionally. With the help of our amazing partners, like the Child Mind Institute
, we're creating a one‑of‑a‑kind support system that combines digital tools with virtual clinicians. Because at Fort Health, we believe “we're stronger together”.
