Child and Family Counseling

What Child and Family Counseling does

Child & Family Counseling Group (CFCG) is a privately held outpatient mental health practice organized as a Virginia professional limited liability company, headquartered at 10521 Rosehaven St., Suite 100, Fairfax, VA. The practice operates from a single physical office with virtual-visit reach across Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and PSYPACT-authorized states, and is staffed by a 21-provider multi-disciplinary clinical team (4 psychiatrists, 2 psychiatric nurse practitioners, 4 psychologists/neuropsychologists, and 11 licensed clinical social workers) plus an administrative team, all under Medical Director Dr. David Clayton, M.D. The provider cohort includes tenured clinicians dating to 2002 and multilingual coverage across English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese. The practice does not currently disclose revenue, funding, ownership structure beyond physician ownership, or any M&A activity.

CFCG delivers a broad portfolio of evidence-based therapeutic and clinical services across the lifespan. Therapeutic services span CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Exposure Therapy, TF-CBT, PCIT (for ages 2-7), Play Therapy, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Group Therapy, IFS-Informed Therapy, and depth psychoanalysis. Clinical and diagnostic services include psychiatric evaluations, psychological evaluations, psychological and neuropsychological testing, and substance use disorder (SUD) evaluations. Specialized treatments include the Spravato (esketamine) program for treatment-resistant depression, delivered in-office under REMS-compliant 2-hour monitoring, and Cogmed Working Memory Training. The technology layer is third-party: Valant.io for EHR, scheduling, secure messaging, billing, and prospective-patient intake (reviewed by the Medical Director for clinical matching), Cogmed for cognitive training, and standard secure video/telephonic tools for telehealth.

The business model is fee-for-service / self-pay with the practice operating entirely out-of-network. Patients pay at the time of service and receive a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement; Spravato medication costs may be reimbursable via separate insurance claims with Janssen CarePath support. Pricing tiers (initial evaluations, ongoing 45-50 minute sessions, multi-week Spravato protocols) follow standard outpatient conventions but are not publicly posted. The go-to-market is sales-led with phone-based intake, organic search/SEO, an educational blog, a Valant scheduling flow, and inbound referrals from pediatricians, schools, and area hospitals (Fairfax Hospital, Dominion Hospital, Kellar Center, Children's National). Geographic footprint is regional (DMV metro), and the customer base consists of individual consumers and families with no concentration risk from any single enterprise account.

Others

• Alma: Membership-based platform that supports independent therapists and group practices with insurance billing, EHR, and referrals — ecosystem peer that influences how outpatient practices operate and grow.

Direct peers

• Bend Health: Pediatric and family virtual mental health provider offering therapy and psychiatry for children and adolescents — directly comparable to CFCG's primary pediatric segment.
• Brightside Health: Online mental health provider offering psychiatry, therapy, and treatment-resistant depression programs — directly competing with CFCG's Spravato and adult psychiatry service lines via telehealth.
• Two Chairs: Multi-location outpatient therapy practice operating its own clinician teams across several metros — comparable business model of in-house multidisciplinary therapists serving self-pay/out-of-network clients.
• Octave: Mental health practice group offering therapy and psychiatry services across multiple states, combining in-person and virtual care with a multidisciplinary provider model similar to CFCG.
• Talkiatry: National telepsychiatry practice staffed by psychiatrists offering diagnostic evaluations and medication management — directly overlapping CFCG's adult/child psychiatry services but at much larger scale and with in-network insurance.

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Large mental health benefits platform serving employers with a curated provider network including therapists and coaches — broader incumbent targeting the same employee/patient population as CFCG.
• Cerebral: Subscription-based online mental health provider offering therapy, counseling, and medication management nationwide — broad incumbent overlapping CFCG's adult psychiatry and therapy services.

Emerging players
