VP Of Finance

About Us:

At Kooth, our mission is to create welcoming, accessible spaces for personalized digital mental health care that empowers young people to thrive. Grounded in an early-intervention model, we help youth aged 13-25 build resilience, access timely support, and lead fulfilling lives. We are more than a digital service - we are a movement for inclusive, evidence-informed mental health care.

Our culture is rooted in our values: Alongside You, Flexible, Compassionate, Committed, and Safe. These guide everything we do - how we show up for young people, how we collaborate as a team, and how we build solutions that meet communities where they are. With Kooth, you'll be part of something bigger than yourself: meaningful work with measurable impact.

We bring this mission to life through Soluna, California's first-in-the-nation digital behavioral health service for 13-25-year-olds. Soluna removes barriers to care by providing nearly immediate access to 1:1 coaching, Care Navigation, and self-guided tools helping young people find real support, build resilience, and discover hope when they need it most. Together with state and local partners, we're transforming access to mental health support for youth. Learn more at solunaapp.com/impact.
