What be Collaborative Care does

be Collaborative Care (BECC, LLC) is a private, for-profit eating disorder treatment center headquartered in a single facility at 439 Benefit Street, Providence, Rhode Island. The company operates a full continuum of care for adolescents and adults with eating disorders, including Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with daytime and evening tracks, individual therapy, medication management, nutritional therapy, outpatient groups, and a specialized Meal & Movement Program. Treatment is delivered by a multidisciplinary clinical team — therapists, board-certified psychiatrists, eating-disorder-specialized registered dietitians, and certified strength and conditioning specialists — using evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP). A Scientific Advisory Board of nationally recognized psychiatry experts guides clinical practice.

The business is a professional services revenue model. Treatment is billed through insurance claims as an in-network provider for six major commercial payors (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tufts Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim), with private-pay options for out-of-network or uninsured patients. The company does not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other public plans. Patient acquisition occurs through a sales-led motion combining healthcare provider referrals, direct intake via phone and website, content marketing, social media, and community outreach. The company holds Joint Commission accreditation, IAEDP affiliation, and Original Intuitive Eating Pros certification.

Founded in 2016 and led since 2024 by CEO Audrey Grunst, LCSW (founder of Simply Bee Counseling), be Collaborative Care serves patients across Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Its patient segments span four personas: adults with eating disorders (primary), adolescents, athletes with performance-related eating issues (RED-S), and midlife adults. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investors, no M&A history, and no patents, proprietary software, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.
