What Pacific Premier Group does

Pacific Premier Group, PC is a privately held professional corporation founded in 2014 by Dr. Paul Conti in Portland, Oregon, operating a trauma-centered, brain-based mental health practice that combines licensed clinical services with non-clinical coaching and consulting. The company runs two registered sub-brands: Pacific Premier Medical + Therapy® (psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, neuropsychiatric evaluation) and Pacific Premier Coaching + Consulting® (executive, leadership, career, relationship, and wellness coaching plus business consulting). Specialized service lines include Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Intensive Programs (IPs), addiction and recovery treatment, healthcare professional evaluation and treatment, and worldwide crisis intervention, delivered in-person at offices in Portland and New York and via telehealth through Doxy.me.

The practice is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, psychologists, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and certified coaches/consultants, led by founder/President Dr. Paul M. Conti (Stanford/Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author of "Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic"), CEO Christiane Farentinos, and COO Carmen Hepner-Hall. The business model is fee-for-service with payment at time of service; the company does not bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, and provides detailed receipts for clients to seek out-of-network reimbursement, which removes insurance visit caps and authorization friction but limits addressable demand to patients able to pay out of pocket. Customer segments span adults and adolescents with complex mental health needs, couples and families, executives and high-profile professionals, and healthcare professionals with addiction or mental health concerns.

Go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer through the company website, telehealth, professional referrals, and word-of-mouth, supplemented by top-of-funnel demand generated through Dr. Conti's media presence on major podcasts and in consumer publications. The company has no disclosed outside institutional investment, no funding rounds, and no parent company, operating as an independent founder-led professional corporation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs operates a measured, premium outpatient therapy clinic model with offices in multiple states, employing licensed therapists for high-quality, longer-term care. Direct peer given its similar boutique, high-touch outpatient mental health positioning and emphasis on matched, longitudinal care relationships.
• Charlie Health: Charlie Health delivers intensive outpatient mental health programs (multi-hour/day, multi-week) similar to Pacific Premier's Intensive Programs offering. Comparable in clinical depth, premium positioning, and virtual/hybrid delivery for complex patient populations including adolescents and adults.
• Amen Clinics: Amen Clinics is a concierge psychiatry group using brain-imaging-based and neuroscience-led methodology across U.S. locations, matching Pacific Premier's brain-based branding and premium cash-pay outpatient positioning. Both compete for affluent, treatment-resistant patients willing to pay out-of-pocket.

Broad incumbents

• Cerebral: Cerebral is a large-scale telehealth mental health platform offering therapy plus medication management on a subscription or fee basis. Broader incumbent addressing the same patient conditions (anxiety, depression, ADHD) Pacific Premier treats, but at lower price points and broader geographic reach.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a venture-backed employer-sponsored mental health benefits platform providing therapy, coaching, and intensive programs through its provider network. Competes with Pacific Premier's coaching and intensive programs for executives and high-profile professionals, though funded and employer-channel rather than direct-to-consumer.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest consumer-facing online therapy marketplace, owned by Teladoc. Adjacent competitor for mainstream therapy demand; differs from Pacific Premier by emphasizing low-cost subscription therapy rather than high-acuity, concierge-led clinical care.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is a publicly-traded tele-therapy and psychiatry company serving consumers, employers, and insurers. Broader incumbent offering virtual outpatient mental health at scale, including psychiatry for medication management — directly comparable clinical services to Pacific Premier's medical plus therapy offering.

Others

• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Hazelden Betty Ford is the largest U.S. nonprofit addiction treatment provider with residential and intensive outpatient programs across multiple states. Relevant given Pacific Premier's addiction treatment line and the historical acquisition relationship through HealthWorks NW.
• McLean Hospital: McLean Hospital is a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric specialty hospital with intensive outpatient, residential, and specialty programs. Indirectly comparable given Pacific Premier's trauma/psychiatric complexity and the shared Stanford/Harvard training lineage of founder Dr. Conti.

Emerging players

• Spring Health: Spring Health is a venture-backed employer mental health platform providing therapy, coaching, and psychiatry through an insured benefit model. Emerging player targeting employer/employee access — competes with Pacific Premier's executive-coaching and corporate-consulting services for the same buyer budget.
