Aduro, the health and human performance company, closed its acquisition of Trusana and launched Aduro Mental Health & Resilience, a standalone therapy benefit for self-insured employers. Instead of routing members into a rented network of independent contractors, Aduro delivers care through a dedicated, employed team of licensed clinical social workers. The care connects to sleep, stress, activity, and nutrition – the whole person, not just one chapter.
The structural access problem is well documented. About 4 in 5 in-network therapists are unreachable or not taking new patients, according to a 2023 U.S. Senate Finance Committee report. The median wait for a new appointment is 67 days, per a 2023 study in Psychiatry Research. And 62% of behavioral health providers report severe burnout, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing found in 2023. The old model rewards volume, not resolution.
"For thirty years the model just added supply, and people still struggled to get care that made a meaningful difference," said Dr. Darren White, Aduro's founder and CEO. "We built the opposite. A dedicated team paid for outcomes, not session counts, that sees the whole person, not one small chapter."
