Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants

What Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants does

Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants (CBC), operating as Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants, LLP, is a privately-held mental health practice headquartered in New York City. Founded by Drs. Lata K. McGinn and Alec L. Miller — internationally recognized authorities in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) — the practice delivers evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, from young children through older adults. Services span treatment programs (CBT, DBT, Child DBT, OCD Program including a 4-day Teen Intensive, Anxiety Programs, PCIT, Executive Functioning), wellness services (stress management, parenting, mindfulness, technology/screen addiction), strengths-based clinical evaluations, and professional continuing education through the CBC-Ed training portal.

The underlying technology stack is clinical rather than digital: CBC's competitive method rests on adherence to validated CBT/DBT/ERP/PCIT protocols developed by Drs. McGinn and Miller, supported by published research and credentialed training programs (APA Approved Sponsor, NYS CE Provider #0219, Certified DBT Program). Patient-facing technology is largely outsourced: a third-party Valant.io patient portal handles scheduling and records, while a Saige-based learning platform powers CBC-Ed. Telehealth delivery, including Internet-based PCIT with live coaching, extends clinical reach beyond the three physical offices (Upper West Side, Upper East Side, White Plains).

Revenue is generated through per-session clinical therapy, intensive multi-day programs, clinical evaluations, professional CE/training (CBC-Ed), and custom-designed training contracts with schools and organizations. The practice pursues a sales-led, founder-anchored go-to-market: intake is routed through a Director of Intake Services and online inquiry forms, professional referrals and CE programming serve as acquisition channels for clinicians, and Telehealth broadens geographic reach. CBC also operates externship, internship, and postdoctoral fellowship pipelines that function as both training and clinician recruitment infrastructure. No external funding, M&A, or institutional ownership has been disclosed; expansion is funded organically from clinical and training revenue.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) provider for teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, and other conditions, with strong emphasis on evidence-based modalities. Comparable to CBC's specialty intensives such as the 4-day OCD Intensive for Teens and intensive DBT offerings.
• Alma: Network and software platform for independent mental health providers, with growing in-person clinic footprint. Comparable to CBC as a private-practice mental health model increasingly blended with insurance billing infrastructure and digital tooling.

Broad incumbents

• Spring Health: Employer-sponsored mental health benefits company providing therapy, coaching, and psychiatry across in-person and virtual channels. Comparable to CBC's CBT/DBT offerings and B2B custom training to organizations.
• BetterHelp: Largest direct-to-consumer online therapy platform offering individual, couples, and teen therapy with licensed therapists. Comparable to CBC in serving the same therapy-seeking individuals and couples, though delivered via subscription-based teletherapy with broad therapist matching.
• Talkspace: Public telehealth therapy platform delivering CBT and other modalities to individuals and couples via messaging, live video, and asynchronous tools. Comparable to CBC's telehealth therapy and broader mental health service line, though at vastly larger scale and via a primarily virtual channel.
• Lyra Health: Enterprise mental health benefits platform providing therapy (in-person and virtual), coaching, and medication management to employees of large companies. Comparable to CBC's CBT/DBT therapy and custom corporate training programs, though targeting employer-sponsored access at much larger scale.
• McLean Hospital: Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital with renowned CBT/DBT programs, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient tracks plus clinician training. Comparable to CBC's evidence-based CBT/DBT methodology, intensive OCD and anxiety programs, and clinician training pipeline.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Tech-enabled group therapy practice operating from physical clinics plus teletherapy, with emphasis on evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR) and specialty programs. Comparable to CBC in clinical methodology and in-person + hybrid delivery model, though at larger geographic scale (multiple US cities).
• Octave: Mental health practice combining individual therapy, couples therapy, and group programs (including DBT) delivered in clinics and via telehealth. Comparable to CBC in modality mix (CBT/DBT, intensives, couples) and emphasis on evidence-based care.

Others

• Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA): National nonprofit providing professional training, CE programs, conferences, and provider directories for CBT/DBT clinicians treating anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and depression. Comparable to CBC's CBC-Ed continuing education, professional conferences (e.g., WCCBT), and therapist referral role — but as an ecosystem enabler rather than a clinical competitor.
