Christian Psychological Center

What Christian Psychological Center does

Christian Psychological Center is a Memphis-based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) mental health organization founded in 1977 that provides psychological care to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents in the greater Mid-South community. Its service portfolio spans individual, marital/relationship, and family counseling; child and adolescent therapy including play therapy and adolescent DBT; psychiatric evaluations and medication management; and a suite of assessment services (psychoeducational, autism, ADHD, early childhood, and career counseling). The practice also delivers group programs such as DBT Skills Group and the Fresh Start Divorce Recovery program, and is launching organizational training and workshops for churches, schools, and businesses.

The underlying operating model is clinical, in-person, and geography-bound to a single 3950 Central Avenue, Memphis facility operating Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours available from select clinicians. Revenue flows through fee-for-service clinical billing with hybrid self-pay, insurance (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield via select clinicians), and superbill-based out-of-network reimbursement; family/relationship counseling is self-pay only. The Memphis Resilience Project, a community-outreach sub-brand, adds a second revenue stream via grant-funded Direct Counseling Grants that charge subsidized clients $10, $30, or $50, plus donation flow routed through the Second Presbyterian Church Foundation. Outreach to under-resourced communities and area schools (STEPS-E curriculum) is sustained via partnerships with Second Presbyterian Church, non-profits, and school systems. Distribution is referral-led (churches, schools, community organizations, self-referral) rather than digital or marketplace-led, and there is no current app, no public API, and no disclosed proprietary technology beyond standard practice management tooling.

Direct peers

• Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services: Michigan-based nonprofit offering faith-integrated outpatient counseling, psychiatric services, and assessment — highly comparable business model to CPC's faith-based outpatient mental health practice.
• Youth Villages: Memphis-headquartered nonprofit providing residential and community-based mental health, counseling, and family services to children and families — overlapping directly with CPC's child/adolescent counseling and Memphis Resilience Project missions in the same geography.
• Compass Intervention Center: Memphis-based mental health treatment provider serving youth and families — comparable to CPC's child/adolescent and family counseling practice in the same regional market.
• Lakeside Behavioral Health System: Memphis-area behavioral health provider offering mental health and substance abuse treatment across multiple levels of care — overlapping with CPC's outpatient mental health services in the same metro.
• Samaritan Counseling Center: Faith-based counseling center offering outpatient therapy, psychiatric services, and assessment — closely mirrors CPC's faith-integrated mental health model, though primarily operating in different U.S. regions.
• Agape Child & Family Services: Memphis-based nonprofit offering faith-informed counseling, adoption, and family services — directly comparable to CPC's faith-integrated therapy model and Memphis-area footprint.

Emerging players

• Talkspace: Public virtual therapy platform serving individuals and couples online — overlaps with CPC's adult and relationship counseling offerings but competes through digital delivery and B2B2C payer channels.
• Brightside Health: Digital mental health platform providing online therapy and psychiatric medication management with insurance billing — emerging player addressing the same outpatient therapy and psychiatry needs as CPC, but via telehealth rather than in-person.

Broad incumbents

• Acadia Healthcare: Large publicly-traded behavioral health operator running inpatient, residential, and outpatient mental health facilities nationwide — represents the scaled-incumbent end of the same mental health services category CPC operates in.
• Universal Health Services (UHS): Diversified hospital and behavioral health operator with significant behavioral health facilities — broad incumbent in the same overall mental health services space, but at vastly greater scale and across many states.
