About Aluria
PhD, LMHC · Founder and Managing Partner
Aluria Advisory is a boutique healthcare M&A and operational advisory firm serving private equity firms, family offices, and behavioral health operators across the full deal lifecycle.
Founded by Edisa Shirley, the firm is built around a differentiation the market rarely produces: licensed clinical practice, operator experience inside healthcare platforms, and direct involvement in live transactions, in the same person. Edisa served as Director of Integrations at Refresh Mental Health, subsequently acquired by Optum, and as Vice President of Operations at Beacon Behavioral Partners, with advisory work spanning multiple transactions and two successful exits.
