Praestan Health is a behavioral health technology start up building software solutions to power people to achieve real health behavior change.  We have  a unique approach to care and have embedded clinical behavioral health teams in primary care clinics using our model of change and our technology solutions.  Through our proprietary clinical, analytics, and software applications, we deliver improved outcomes in patient health and treatment engagement that result in lower overall cost of care.

Our elite Praestan teams, inclusive of therapists, psychiatry and patient support, currently integrate with select primary care clinics partnering with us to lead individual patients through a process of sustainable, effective change. 

The work we do is transformational, however it isn’t easy. We’ve built a team of uniquely talented, engaged and entrepreneurial clinicians who are making a measurable impact on those they touch; improving outcomes, promoting an integrated whole person approach to health and wellbeing, and continuously striving to achieve an overall reduction in treatment time and total cost of care required for results.  If you value meaningful work, love working with exceptional people, and want to make a difference, come join us.
