Alvord Baker & Associates

What Alvord Baker & Associates does

Alvord, Baker & Associates, LLC is a privately held, fee-for-service group psychology practice founded in 1983 by Drs. Mary Alvord and Patricia Baker and headquartered in the DC Metro Area. It operates four physical offices across Washington DC (Capitol Hill), Chevy Chase MD, Columbia MD, and Rockville/Potomac MD, supplemented by secure telehealth delivery across multiple U.S. states via PSYPACT licensure reciprocity. The firm employs 1–10 clinicians and delivers integrated clinical services including individual, group, couples, family, and child/adolescent psychotherapy using evidence-based modalities (CBT, ERP, DBT, MBSR, ACT, Parent Management Training, SPACE), complemented by psychoeducational/neuropsychological testing, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management launched in 2026.

The practice's defining technology is the trademarked Resilience Builder Program® (RBP), a manualized cognitive-behavioral group therapy curriculum for grades K–12 developed by the founders and validated through more than 15 years of peer-reviewed research with Catholic University; it is published by Research Press and licensed externally through a clinician certification pathway. Supporting infrastructure includes the Sessions Health patient portal for scheduling, intake, and clinical documentation, Microsoft Forms for prospect routing, Eventbrite for CE ticketing, and a Reimbursify integration that helps clients submit out-of-network insurance claims.

Alvord Baker generates revenue across four streams: (1) fee-for-service clinical therapy paid out-of-pocket with optional out-of-network reimbursement; (2) psychiatric evaluation and medication management; (3) APA-approved Continuing Education webinars and workshops (e.g., $130/webinar) delivered to licensed mental-health professionals; and (4) royalty and licensing income from RBP curriculum sales and clinician training. Its go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer referrals (self-referral, school/physician referrals) with community-led professional training, inside-sales-style intake coordination, and event-driven CE marketing through partnerships with the Anxiety & Depression Association of America and the National Register of Health Service Psychologists.

Core offering

Alvord, Baker & Associates, LLC operates a multi-location group private psychology practice delivering evidence-based psychotherapy (CBT, ERP, DBT, MBSR, ACT), psychiatric evaluation and medication management, neuropsychological and psychoeducational testing, and parent training. The practice also sells continuing education (CE) and Resilience Builder Program® (RBP) certification training to licensed mental-health professionals.

Product overview

Alvord, Baker & Associates, LLC operates as a multi-location group private practice in the DC Metro Area, delivering a portfolio of integrated clinical services rather than a single software product. Its core service stack comprises Individual Therapy, Group Therapy, Couples Therapy, Parent Offerings, Testing & Assessments, Consultations, and Psychiatric Care, all grounded in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ERP, DBT, MBSR, Parent Management Training, and SPACE. Layered on top of this clinical core are two specialty programs — the Resilience Builder Program® (RBP), a trademarked cognitive-behavioral group therapy curriculum for grades K-12 (with a Neurodivergent-Focused variant), and the ADHD & Anxiety Center, a specialist-led, stepped-up care pathway for ADHD with co-occurring anxiety. The practice also operates a Continuing Education program (APA-approved and Maryland-authorized) and an RBP Training/Certification pathway for clinicians, plus a free Learning Series of public talks and a curated Books & Resources library, all unified by the SessionsHealth patient portal and supported by integrations with Reimbursify, Microsoft Forms, and Eventbrite for intake, billing, and events respectively.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Public online therapy and psychiatry platform serving both consumer and enterprise/B2B channels. Comparable in offering virtual therapy and psychiatry to adults and teens, but with a much broader insurance and employer footprint and lower-touch delivery model.
• BetterHelp (Teladoc Health): Largest direct-to-consumer online therapy platform offering individual, couples, and teen counseling via subscription. Overlaps with Alvord Baker's CBT/ACT-based self-pay individual therapy line, but lacks specialty pediatric group programs and APA CE accreditation.
• McLean Hospital (Harvard Medical School affiliate): Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital and outpatient network specializing in anxiety, OCD, depression, and child mental health with deep research ties. Comparable in evidence-based modality mix and pediatric subspecialty focus, but operates at institutional academic-hospital scale rather than private practice scale.

Emerging players

• Mantra Health: Virtual mental health provider specializing in college students and young adults with therapy, psychiatry, and coaching. Comparable in targeting young populations with integrated therapy and psychiatry services, but partners primarily with higher-education institutions rather than consumers.
• Brightline: Pediatric and family behavioral health company offering virtual therapy, psychiatry, and coaching for children and teens, often via employer and payer partnerships. Comparable in serving youth mental-health needs with integrated therapy and psychiatry, but tech-enabled and venture-backed.
• Lyra Health: Mental health benefits platform connecting employees to in-person and virtual therapy, coaching, and psychiatry through employer-sponsored plans. Comparable in delivering evidence-based therapy to working adults and families, but operates at scale via employer contracts rather than consumer self-pay.
• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) provider for teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Comparable in targeting adolescent mental-health evidence-based care, but delivers through a virtual-first, insurance-funded model rather than an in-person fee-for-service practice.
• Two Chairs: Group therapy-focused private practice with locations in California and Florida offering evidence-based therapy including CBT and ACT. Comparable in operating a multi-office, evidence-based group practice model with measurement-based care, but West Coast-focused rather than DC-area.

Direct peers

• Child Mind Institute: Independent, nonprofit child and adolescent mental health organization offering evaluations, therapy, and school consultations in NYC with national reach. Directly comparable to Alvord Baker in serving youth anxiety, ADHD, and learning-disorder populations with evidence-based clinical services.
• Rogers Behavioral Health: National specialty behavioral health system specializing in OCD, anxiety, and depression treatment using CBT and ERP across residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. Comparable modality stack (CBT/ERP-led, evidence-based) and overlapping patient conditions.
