Business Description


This outpatient mental health practice provides individual, family, and group therapy services to patients across all age groups in Stark County. The practice operates under established referral relationships with physicians, school systems, and the court system. These institutional referral channels produce a consistent patient pipeline that does not depend on advertising or marketing spend.



The practice generates $631,082 in annual revenue with SDE of $317,368, representing a 50.3% earnings margin. Revenue has grown consistently year over year. The financial performance reflects a mature practice with stable billing cycles, established insurance contracts, and a patient base that returns for ongoing care rather than single-episode treatment.



Operations follow a structured clinical model with defined intake, scheduling, and billing systems. Staff clinicians carry active caseloads. The practice holds established relationships with payers and operates under existing licensure and credentialing. A buyer acquires the patient records, referral relationships, payer contracts, staff, and operational infrastructure.



The practice has served Stark County since 1988. The referral network built over that period with families, physicians, schools, and courts represents the primary asset of the business. These relationships are institutional, not personal, and transfer with the practice.



Business History


The practice was founded in 1988 and has operated continuously in Stark County for over 35 years. Over that period it expanded its service offerings and built referral relationships across multiple institutional channels including the local court system, school districts, and primary care physicians. The practice has operated through multiple economic cycles and healthcare regulatory changes without interruption.



FF&E is valued at $13,330 and includes clinical and administrative equipment currently in use. The practice holds active credentialing with insurance payers and maintains current licensure in Ohio.



Potential Growth and Expansion


The practice currently serves Stark County.

Telehealth services are not currently a primary delivery channel. Adding telehealth expands the patient catchment area and increases clinician scheduling flexibility.

The practice does not currently offer psychiatric medication management. Adding a prescribing provider creates a new revenue stream within the existing patient base.

Group therapy programming is an identified expansion area. Group sessions generate higher revenue per clinician hour than individual sessions.

The practice has not pursued direct marketing to its existing institutional referral sources. A structured outreach program to school counselors and primary care offices increases referral volume without adding clinical staff.

Competitive Overview


Mental health services in Stark County face demand that consistently exceeds supply. Ohio ranks among states with the highest unmet mental health need relative to available providers. Independent private practices face competition from hospital-employed clinician groups and community mental health centers, but these competitors serve different patient segments and operate under different reimbursement structures.
