Montare Behavioral Health

What Montare Behavioral Health does

Montare Behavioral Health is a multi-state operator of boutique mental health treatment facilities headquartered in Los Angeles, California, founded in 2020. The company runs a network of at least nine residential and outpatient locations across Southern California (Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills) and Arizona (Tucson, Phoenix), delivering a full continuum of care that includes inpatient residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), outpatient, day treatment, telehealth, and alumni/aftercare services. Its clinical model combines evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, TMS, neurofeedback, and somatic therapy with holistic approaches, and it is differentiated operationally by a deliberately low-capacity design that caps concurrent clients at six per facility and maintains a 3:1 staff-to-client ratio. The company is Joint Commission Gold Seal-accredited, licensed by the California Department of Social Services and Department of Healthcare Services, and recognized by SAMHSA and affiliated with NIH/NIDA.

The company serves segmented personas including adults with general mental health needs, veterans (via the Resilient Star program), women (via the women-only Center for Healing), young adults facing 'failure to launch' transitions, LGBTQ+ individuals, first responders, and working professionals. Treatment is reimbursed primarily through insurance, with admissions routed through a 24/7 phone intake line and supported by a benefits-verification team. Montare has developed two proprietary clinical assets: the Discovery Model, a diagnostic tool for chemical dependency created by CEO JD Kalmenson and currently in efficacy assessment with Yale University, and the Spiritually Integrated Clinical Supervision (SIS) Model developed by Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Dzioba. Its go-to-market is consumer-direct with content marketing (Discover U podcast, blog, social media, virtual tours) layered onto phone-based admissions.

The leadership team combines clinical specialization (Board-Certified Psychiatrist CMO Dr. Brad Zehring, CCO Dr. Dzioba, COO Dr. Ojarigi) with operational and digital marketing executives, and the founder/CEO and CFO also lead related behavioral health companies including Renewal Health Group and Zenith Behavioral Health. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional capital or funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• Acadia Healthcare: Large publicly traded behavioral healthcare operator running ~250 facilities including psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment centers. Overlaps with Montare across the full behavioral health continuum but operates at vastly greater scale and acuity breadth.
• Universal Health Services (UHS Behavioral Health): NYSE-listed hospital and behavioral health operator with one of the largest U.S. behavioral health footprints (acute inpatient, residential, outpatient). Comparable as a behavioral health incumbent but with much broader portfolio, including non-behavioral acute care.

Direct peers

• Center for Discovery: Specialty residential and outpatient provider focused on eating disorders, mental health, and co-occurring substance use across multiple states. Directly comparable to Montare's Center for Healing women's program and trauma-informed residential care model.
• PrairieCare: Midwest-based provider of inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient mental health services for children, adolescents, and adults. Comparable on continuum-of-care model and psychiatric residential services, though regionally focused rather than national.
• Promises Behavioral Health: Residential and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment operator with luxury-positioned facilities. Comparable to Montare on premium-priced residential care, multi-modality therapy (CBT, DBT, EMDR), and California presence.
• Rogers Behavioral Health: Multi-state nonprofit operator of residential, inpatient, and outpatient behavioral health programs with a strong specialty focus (OCD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders). Directly comparable to Montare on acuity-based residential treatment and continuum-of-care delivery, though at significantly larger scale.
• Newport Healthcare: Operator of residential and outpatient mental health programs for adolescents, young adults, and adults across multiple states. Highly comparable to Montare on boutique residential treatment model, integrated academic/clinical programming, and multi-state expansion strategy.
• BrightQuest Treatment Centers: Long-term residential and transitional treatment for severe mental illness and co-occurring disorders, with a small-census, high-acuity model. Comparable to Montare's Montare at Palomar (6-bed residential) on capacity structure and complex-psychiatric patient profile.

Emerging players

• Amen Clinics: Network of outpatient psychiatry clinics using brain imaging (SPECT) and integrative mental health protocols. Comparable to Montare on multi-modality treatment philosophy and consumer-facing brand, though positioned as outpatient/diagnostic rather than residential.

Regional players

• Cottonwood Tucson: Arizona-based residential and outpatient mental health and addiction treatment provider with evidence-based and holistic programming. Directly comparable to Montare Tucson/Phoenix on Southwest geographic focus and integrated clinical-holistic residential model.
