The Center for Psychology

What The Center for Psychology does

The Center for Psychology is a private professional psychology practice founded in 2009 and headquartered in Southwest Florida, with two office locations in Fort Myers and Naples. The firm delivers outpatient mental health services to individual consumers and corporate clients across the region, including adult therapy, child and adolescent therapy, couples therapy, and psychological/neuropsychological testing. Clinical care is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, delivered by a roster that includes 11 licensed psychologists and postdoctoral fellows, including a board-certified neuropsychologist.

The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service clinical sessions, with published pricing of $220 for an initial visit and $200 for returning-patient sessions, supplemented by insurance reimbursement and self-pay. Additional revenue is sourced from the firm's "In-house Psychologist" corporate wellness offering, which packages clinical expertise for employer clients. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician and community referrals accumulated over more than 15 years of continuous operation, supported by an active content/SEO presence. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard clinical and intake tooling (e.g., JotForm), with no proprietary platform or AI-enabled clinical systems disclosed.

Operationally, the practice has expanded through geographic (Fort Myers to Naples), clinical (neuropsychology specialization), and vertical (corporate wellness) extensions, alongside formalized ownership transition with a co-owner/COO appointed in 2021 and a postdoctoral training pipeline to build future clinician capacity.

Emerging players

• Talkspace: Talkspace is an online therapy and psychiatry platform offering individual therapy, couples therapy, and teen therapy — directly overlapping The Center for Psychology's core therapy services but delivered asynchronously and via video rather than in-office.
• Geode Health: Geode Health is an emerging PE-backed outpatient mental health practice combining in-person therapy and psychiatry with digital scheduling and telehealth — overlapping therapy and assessment services and representing a tech-enabled competitive model The Center for Psychology lacks.

Direct peers

• Ellie Mental Health: Ellie Mental Health is a fast-growing outpatient therapy franchise delivering individual, couples, family, and child therapy with credentialed clinicians — comparable service mix and brick-and-mortar model, differing primarily through a franchised growth strategy rather than independent ownership.
• Refresh Mental Health: Refresh Mental Health is a PE-backed rollup of outpatient mental health practices offering therapy, testing, and intensive outpatient programs — comparable outpatient clinical services and assessment offerings to The Center for Psychology, but pursued via acquisition consolidation.
• LifeStance Health: LifeStance operates one of the largest outpatient mental health practice networks in the US, with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists providing therapy, testing, and psychiatric care — directly overlapping The Center for Psychology's outpatient therapy + assessment model across a much wider geography.
• Mindpath Health: Mindpath Health is a multi-state outpatient behavioral health practice delivering therapy, psychological testing, neuropsychology, and medication management — closely mirroring The Center for Psychology's therapy-plus-testing model for both adults and adolescents.
• Thriveworks: Thriveworks is a national chain of outpatient therapy and counseling offices offering individual, couples, family, and child therapy as well as psychiatric services — a near-identical clinical service mix to The Center for Psychology, but executed across hundreds of brick-and-mortar locations.

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: BetterHelp, owned by Teladoc, is the largest direct-to-consumer online therapy platform, offering individual, couples, and teen therapy — competing for the same therapy-seeking patients as The Center for Psychology, especially for self-pay and digitally-oriented segments.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a mental health benefits platform delivering therapy, coaching, and psychiatry to employees of large enterprises — directly comparable to The Center for Psychology's Services for Businesses and Physician Wellness program, but executed through employer contracts at far greater scale.

Regional players

• BayMark Health Services: BayMark Health Services operates outpatient mental health, addiction, and TMS treatment centers across multiple US regions including Florida — overlapping therapy and behavioral health clinical services, though with a stronger addiction medicine focus than The Center for Psychology's general psychology orientation.
