About this business

Company Overview: This is a licensed outpatient behavioral health counseling practice established in 2016. It serves individuals and families across a broad multi-state region for in-person care and offers telehealth within its primary state. The practice has operated for over a decade and maintains consistent community demand, reflected in a standing client waitlist.

Product & Customer Base: Services are centered on clinical counseling, which represents the overwhelming majority of revenue. The practice also provides limited school safety assessments, occasional mediation, and employer workshops, which together account for a small share of activity. Clients arrive through word-of-mouth reputation built over many years, professional directory presence, medical and school referrals, and partnerships, providing diversified intake sources without reliance on any single customer.

Operations & Team: Day-to-day delivery is handled by a clinical bench of fully licensed counselors, provisionally licensed clinicians, and supervised interns supported by documented supervision workflows. An experienced administrative lead manages billing accuracy, claim submission, denial follow-up, and patient responsibility collection, as well as personnel files, onboarding, and compliance preparation for regular inspections. A clinical team leader provides supervision and training for interns and pre-licensed staff, helping convert trainees into steady capacity. Client intake is streamlined through a QR-linked secure admissions portal and HIPAA-compliant messaging for status updates and document exchange. The practice operates from a leased clinic with weekday hours and is relocatable if desired. The owner works part-time, focusing on limited client sessions and supervision, and notes the model can support either an absentee-ready owner with a Clinical Director or a hands-on operator.

Growth: Demand has remained strong for years, supported by a durable referral base and ongoing community need, resulting in a persistent waitlist. The licensed behavioral health clinic status enables billing at clinic rates and supports eligibility for higher-acuity programs, providing a favorable reimbursement framework. Near-term growth can be achieved by adding clinicians to relieve the waitlist, extending hours, expanding telehealth within licensed geographies, and deepening school and employer relationships. A mature intern-to-staff pipeline and defined six-month ramp-up for new clinicians support scalable growth while maintaining service quality.

Transition: The owner is selling to rebalance time and responsibilities and to prioritize family. They are prepared to support a structured handover, including serving as Clinical Director for a defined period and continuing as a supervisor with limited weekly hours thereafter. This support includes training, supervision coverage for interns and provisionally licensed clinicians, and continuity across compliance, payer, and referral processes to ensure a smooth transition.
