Arbor Family Counseling

What Arbor Family Counseling does

Arbor Family Counseling is a private mental health counseling practice headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, founded in 1993. The practice delivers outpatient therapy to individuals, couples, families, and children/teens across a broad set of specialties that includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, addiction and sobriety, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, Christian counseling, peak performance, and play therapy. Service delivery spans in-person sessions at 11605 Arbor St., Suite 106, telehealth video counseling that has been operational for at least five years, and onsite school-based counseling. The underlying technology stack is limited to a standard telehealth video platform; there is no public API, no SDK, and no proprietary software product disclosed.

The business operates three distinct revenue streams. First, clinical therapy is billed through a broad insurance network (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Medicaid/Medicare, Midlands Choice, United Healthcare, Wellmark, Optum, TriCare, GEHA, Medica) and self-pay. Second, it holds managed-services contracts under an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with local and national employers, offering 24/7 counseling, wellness coaching, training, and webinars, and a Student Assistance Program (SAP) with seven Omaha-area school districts. Third, it generates facility revenue by renting office space (private, shared, drop-in, virtual) to independent licensed practitioners with intake and referral support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct phone and contact-form intake for consumers, plus direct contracting with school districts and corporate buyers for B2B programs.

In March 2022, Arbor Family Counseling joined Trivium Life Services, a behavioral health non-profit, while retaining its brand and operating model. The practice has approximately 15+ licensed counselors and is categorized as an 11–50 employee organization. Its geographic footprint is regional, concentrated in the Omaha metropolitan area with select national EAP accounts served virtually. There is no public financial disclosure, no funding history, and no technology M&A or platform IP disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Lyra Health: Mental health benefits platform combining EAP-style employer contracts with a provider network and virtual care. Highly comparable to Arbor's EAP + clinical therapy mix, but with a national employer footprint and tech-enabled matching.
• Two Chairs: Outpatient therapy practice combining in-person clinics with telehealth, focused on measurement-based care and specialty matching. Closest direct peer for Arbor's multi-modality, multi-specialty clinical model.
