AbleTo

AbleTo has appointed a Clinical Advisory board including Dr. Carmela Alcantara (Columbia University), Dr. Patrick Raue (University of Washington), and Dr. Kathleen Pike (Columbia University). The firm also employs a nationwide network of licensed therapists and coaches, but day-to-day clinical leadership is not publicly disclosed beyond advisor names.

AbleTo is an operating company—a virtual behavioral healthcare provider—not an asset manager or family office. It sells therapy and coaching programs directly to health plans and employers, not to LP investors. Its 'investments' are in its own technology and provider network.

No public disclosure links AbleTo to a family office. The company was founded by Michael Laskoff with personal capital and received external funding beginning in 2012, but neither the founding nor subsequent capital rounds have been tied to a named family office.

AbleTo's clients are primarily health insurance plans (including Blue Cross Blue Shield and Optum) and employers. The platform is not sold directly to individuals but is accessed through benefit programs. Patients cannot self-enroll in some employer- or plan-sponsored programs.

AbleTo cites studies showing a 45% reduction in hospitalizations among plan members (per Veracity Health Analytics, 2019) and improved employee productivity (per internal analysis, 2017). The firm also reports that over 10,000 Therapy360 program graduates showed clinically significant improvement on the DASS-21 depression scale (per firm, 2023).

As of the last public update, therapy services for new patients are unavailable in Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, North Dakota, and West Virginia (per AbleTo website).

Unlike matching services that simply refer patients to independent clinicians, AbleTo employs its own therapists and designs structured CBT programs. It claims URAC accreditation for telehealth and HITRUST certification for data security, positioning itself as a licensed healthcare provider, not a referral aggregator.
