Cedar Tree Wellness Center

What Cedar Tree Wellness Center does

Cedar Tree Wellness Center is a private, women-owned, immigrant-led mental health group practice operating under Brewington LLC from a single office at 4623 Trousdale Drive in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded by Katya Brewington and in continuous operation since at least 2011, the practice serves individual adults, adolescents, and children (age 6+) through individual, couples, family, and group therapy, with modalities spanning CBT, DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT, Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based approaches. Roughly 17 therapists — a mix of W2 staff, contracted clinicians, pre-licensed professionals, clinical interns, and supervised counselors — deliver care both in person at the Nashville office and via telehealth to all Tennessee residents, supported by an IntakeQ-based secure client portal for intake, scheduling, billing, and messaging.\n\nThe business model is a fee-for-service outpatient therapy practice with multiple payment channels: per-session fees ranging from $50 (clinical interns) to $220 (the founder), intake appointments at $140–$160, sliding-scale slots starting at $50, low-cost group offerings ($5–$30), and insurance billing through Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Optum, Magellan, Carelon, and Beacon — notably excluding Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare. Specialized 2025 launches include a Mindfulness Hour group, a virtual addiction-support group, and a seasonal Back-to-School Mental Health Checkup.\n\nTechnically, the practice is built on commoditized infrastructure rather than proprietary systems: a HIPAA-compliant telehealth video platform with phone fallback, the IntakeQ client portal, and standard practice management for scheduling and billing. Distribution is direct: clients book by phone, email, or web form, complete intake in the portal, and are matched to a therapist, with switch-therapist-anytime as an explicit policy. Brand differentiation is built on LGBTQ+-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, body-positive, and sex-positive positioning, combined with deep local Nashville community ties expressed through a content-marketing blog and a registered trademark.

Emerging players

• Brightside Health: Brightside Health is a telehealth mental health provider offering therapy and medication management with insurance accepted. Comparable to Cedar Tree's telehealth therapy arm and its focus on anxiety/depression treatment, though Brightside is virtual-only and tech-forward.
• Alma: Alma is a therapist enablement platform that helps independent clinicians accept insurance, find clients, and manage practices. Comparable in that it serves the same therapist/client base as Cedar Tree, but as a SaaS/network layer rather than an owned-and-operated practice.
• Charlie Health: Charlie Health provides intensive outpatient and virtual mental health treatment for adolescents and young adults. Comparable to Cedar Tree's child/adolescent therapy segment, but at higher acuity and with insurance-driven B2B partnerships.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health provides therapy and mental health benefits to employers and employees via a network of clinicians and telehealth. Comparable in therapy delivery model and insurance/EAP handling, but focused on employer-sponsored B2B distribution rather than consumer-direct.

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Talkspace is a publicly traded telehealth therapy and psychiatry platform serving individuals, couples, and teens via subscription. Overlaps with Cedar Tree on telehealth therapy delivery but operates nationally via a virtual-only model rather than local in-person.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest online therapy subscription platform, providing individual, couples, and teen therapy via telehealth. Comparable to Cedar Tree's telehealth arm but at national scale and virtual-only with subscription pricing.
• LifeStance Health: LifeStance Health is one of the largest U.S. outpatient mental health providers, offering psychiatric, individual, couples, and family therapy across hundreds of locations. Comparable in service mix to Cedar Tree, but at vastly greater scale and with publicly traded scale advantages.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs operates multi-location outpatient therapy clinics offering individual, couples, and group therapy with in-network insurance handling. Highly comparable to Cedar Tree's model of a group practice with diverse modalities, in-person + telehealth, and insurance billing, but at greater scale across multiple U.S. cities.
• Ellie Mental Health: Ellie Mental Health is a rapidly expanding outpatient mental health franchise/group practice offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy. Closely comparable to Cedar Tree's outpatient counseling model, but operating at franchise scale across many U.S. states.
• Octave: Octave runs a clinician network of group therapy practices across multiple U.S. cities, offering individual, couples, and group therapy with insurance accepted. Directly comparable in business model (group practice, multi-modality, hybrid in-person/telehealth) to Cedar Tree.
