Charak Center For Health And Wellness

What Charak Center For Health And Wellness does

Charak Center For Health And Wellness is a multi-site behavioral health and substance use treatment provider headquartered in Garfield Heights, Ohio, operating five clinical locations across Northeast Ohio (Garfield Heights, Elyria, Mentor, Stow, Medina) plus a cash-pay Mind Body Wellness site in Pepper Pike. Founded in 2014 under Founder and CEO Dr. Rakesh Ranjan, the practice serves a primarily Medicaid-insured population with individual and group therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, case management addressing social determinants of health, on-site pharmacy (CCHW), telemedicine, and a transportation program contracted through the Lorain County Job and Family Services NET Program. The company reports 16+ therapists and a 51–100 employee footprint with 30+ years of stated leadership experience.

The clinical platform combines pharmacotherapy, validated psychotherapy, Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), Community Psychiatric Support Services (CPST), and Complementary and Alternative Medicine with FDA-approved specialty neuromodulation — TMS targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for treatment-resistant depression, SPRAVATO (esketamine) for adults unresponsive to traditional antidepressants, vagal nerve stimulation, and Vivitrol for substance use disorders. Charak Clinical Research Center completed an NIMH-funded study with results accepted at an internationally recognized publication, and has integrated Creyos cognitive assessment, Doxy.me telehealth, Credible patient portal, and Zoom (for the Karma teen therapy group) into its stack. A distinct Mind Body Wellness vertical offers ExoMind neurostimulation, EmFace, EmSculpt NEO, EmSella, EmVital, HaloRed Therapy, DeRive Hair Restoration, Thinnr Weight Loss, and SKY Meditation, broadening the revenue base into cash-pay aesthetic and wellness services.

Revenue is generated through clinical services billed to Medicaid and insurance, on-site pharmacy dispensing, Lorain County NET transportation contracts, and the cash-pay Mind Body Wellness offerings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; intake is via the (855) 4CHARAK line and an online appointment form. The company remains privately held and founder-led with no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, parent entity, or M&A activity in the source material.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Lifestance Health: One of the largest U.S. outpatient mental health practice networks with hundreds of locations, publicly traded. Directly comparable to Charak in offering therapy, psychiatry, and medication management to insurance-covered patients, but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Acadia Healthcare: Public behavioral health company operating inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, and outpatient programs across the U.S. Broad incumbent in the same behavioral health category, with overlapping service lines at much larger scale.
• Universal Health Services: Major U.S. hospital system with a sizable behavioral health division offering inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services. Operates in the same behavioral health space with much greater capital, geographic reach, and payor leverage.
• Newport Healthcare: National behavioral health provider operating residential, PHP/IOP, and outpatient programs for adolescents and adults. Comparable to Charak in offering PHP-level day treatment (similar to Charak's Journey Program) plus outpatient services.

Direct peers

• Talkiatry: National telepsychiatry platform accepting insurance and offering psychiatric evaluations plus medication management. Closely matches Charak's medication-management and remote-visit offering, and competes for the same insured patient population.
• Brightside Health: Online mental health platform delivering therapy and psychiatric medication services to insurance-covered patients. Overlaps directly with Charak's telemedicine and psychiatry service mix with national reach into Medicaid and commercial populations.
• MindPath Health: Multi-state outpatient psychiatric practice offering therapy, medication management, and TMS-style specialty treatments. Closely mirrors Charak's regional, multi-site clinical model with similar integrated behavioral health offerings.
• Amen Clinics: Multi-location psychiatric clinic network specializing in brain-health imaging, TMS, and integrative mental health care. Directly comparable specialty-treatment posture to Charak's TMS and brain-assessment stack.

Emerging players

• Cerebral: Online mental health platform providing therapy and medication management for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Overlaps with Charak's medication-assisted treatment and virtual care strategy, with a distinct digital-first GTM motion.
• Ellie Mental Health: Multi-site outpatient mental health franchise offering therapy, psychiatry, and substance use services. Comparable outpatient mental health service mix to Charak with a franchised expansion model.
