Collaborative Counseling Center

What Collaborative Counseling Center does

Collaborative Counseling Center (CCC) is a family-owned outpatient mental health center founded in 2013 and headquartered at Columbia 100 Corporate Center in Columbia, Maryland, serving children, adolescents, adults, and families across the Greater Baltimore-Washington area and via telehealth in six U.S. states (Maryland, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina). The practice delivers a comprehensive, coordinated suite of services spanning psychiatric care (evaluations, medication management, Genesight pharmacogenetic testing), therapeutic services (individual, group, family, and couples therapy using CBT, DBT-informed, play therapy, sand tray, animal-assisted therapy, and SPACE modalities), structured group programs (Superflex, Social Thinking, DBT-Informed, Healing Through Creativity, Emotional Wellness), digital cognitive assessment via Creyos for ADHD evaluations, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy at a dedicated secondary location.

The underlying technology stack combines a HIPAA-protected video conferencing platform for telehealth with two specialized third-party clinical tools: Creyos, a scientifically-validated digital cognitive assessment platform using gamified tasks with a 30-year research base and 85,000-participant normative database, and Genesight, a pharmacogenetic testing service using cheek-swab genetic analysis to inform psychiatric prescribing. The multidisciplinary team includes board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed clinical social workers operating under a collaborative, team-based care model with regular clinician cross-consultation.

CCC operates on a fee-for-service revenue model requiring payment in full at the time of service. The practice does not process insurance claims directly but provides Superbills for client out-of-network reimbursement and accepts HSA/FSA payments. Good Faith Estimates are issued under No Surprises Act compliance. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored by free one-on-one consultations for provider matching, with customer acquisition supported by community engagement, school outreach, social media presence, and word-of-mouth referrals. Leadership comprises co-owners Emily Greenberger (Executive Director) and Dr. Brett Greenberger (Board Certified Psychiatrist), with Joyce Agatone as Clinical Director and Gabrielle Diener as Clinical/Intake Coordinator.

Emerging players

• Talkspace: Teletherapy and psychiatry platform serving individuals and enterprises. Direct overlap with CCC's telehealth offering, though Talkspace operates at significantly larger scale and accepts insurance.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth psychiatry and therapy provider with focus on anxiety, depression, and treatment-resistant cases. Adjacent competitor to CCC's telepsychiatry and TMS offerings.
• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adolescents and young adults. Targets an overlapping demographic (youth mental health) and is increasingly competing for the same family-referred patients as CCC's group programs.
• Lyra Health: Employer-sponsored mental health benefit platform offering in-network therapy and psychiatry. Competes with CCC for the same patient demographic but reaches them through employer contracts rather than direct-to-consumer marketing.
• Cerebral: Telehealth platform offering therapy and medication management for common mental health conditions. Competes with CCC's virtual psychiatry and therapy services, especially for the adult anxiety/depression/ADHD population.
• Cartwheel Care: School-based and virtual mental health provider focused on pediatric and adolescent populations. Competes with CCC for the same school-aged demographic through school partnership channels.

Direct peers

• Thriveworks: Multi-state outpatient mental health group practice offering in-person and virtual therapy and psychiatry, similar to CCC's hybrid model. Both are group practices with multiple clinicians offering counseling and psychiatric services across multiple U.S. markets.
• Two Chairs: Outpatient mental health group practice combining therapy and psychiatry with a matching-based client onboarding model. CCC's free provider-matching consultation and multidisciplinary team approach closely mirrors Two Chairs' core operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Sheppard Pratt: Large Maryland-based behavioral health system operating outpatient mental health clinics across the Baltimore-Washington region. The most direct large-system competitor in CCC's primary geographic market.
• LifeStance Health: Large PE-backed outpatient mental health platform providing therapy and psychiatric services across dozens of states. Operates in the same category (outpatient behavioral health) at significantly greater scale than CCC.
