Affiliated Psychologists and Counselors

What Affiliated Psychologists and Counselors does

Affiliated Psychologists and Counselors, Inc. is a multidisciplinary group clinical practice founded in 1976 and headquartered at 20863 Stevens Creek Blvd., Suite 580, Cupertino, California. The firm delivers fee-for-service psychotherapy, counseling, psychological and neuropsychological evaluation, trauma treatment, forensic expert witness services, corporate consultation, and specialized pediatric services through its Center for Exceptional Children sub-brand. Staff includes internationally-recognized psychologists and published authors, with Diana Everstine, Ph.D. (PSY4771) serving as a Clinical Director alongside other licensed clinicians.

The practice serves five principal customer segments: individuals, couples, families, and adolescents seeking mental health treatment; law enforcement, fire departments, and security guard companies requiring pre-employment psychological screening, fitness-for-duty evaluations, and critical incident stress response; corporate clients requiring employee selection, executive coaching, leadership training, and workplace threat investigation; children with special needs (including ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and developmental disabilities); and legal system participants requiring expert witness evaluation of trauma and emotional damages. The underlying clinical technology centers on standardized psychological instruments such as the MMPI-2 and CPI, with scoring and analysis supported through an operational partnership with Behaviordata, Inc.'s Behavior Analysis System for public-sector candidate screening.

The firm operates a single physical office and accepts most private insurance plans along with Medicare (with supplemental insurance), verifying coverage upon scheduling of the first visit. Marketing is conducted through traditional channels — professional referrals from physicians and attorneys, plus a basic informational website — with no disclosed pricing, no app or digital product, no funding history, and no identified parent company or institutional investors. Ownership appears to sit with the clinical staff, and the practice carries no visible growth signals beyond organic service-line diversification.

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is an enterprise-focused mental health benefits platform delivering therapy, coaching, and medication management to employees of large corporations. It overlaps with Affiliated Psychologists' corporate services and therapy offerings, but is targeted at employer contracts rather than individual walk-ins.
• LifeStance Health: LifeStance Health is one of the largest outpatient mental health platforms in the U.S., providing psychiatric, psychological, and counseling services via in-person and telehealth across dozens of states. It competes with Affiliated Psychologists' core outpatient therapy and evaluation offering, but as a scaled, publicly-traded platform serving a national footprint.
• Thriveworks: Thriveworks is a large national therapy and counseling practice network offering in-person and virtual mental health services across the U.S. It is comparable to Affiliated Psychologists as a multi-specialty group practice delivering psychotherapy, evaluations, and psychiatry services to individuals, couples, and families, though at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Headspace Health: Headspace Health (formed by Headspace's merger with Ginger) provides mental health coaching, therapy, and psychiatry through employer and health plan partnerships. It overlaps with Affiliated Psychologists' corporate and individual therapy offerings but is a scaled, digital-first incumbent.

Emerging players

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs is a hybrid in-person and teletherapy practice specializing in evidence-based psychotherapy, primarily serving California and other select metros. It is comparable to Affiliated Psychologists in its emphasis on matched, high-quality outpatient therapy for individuals and couples, though it is more tech-enabled and concentrated in higher-density urban markets.
• Octave: Octave is a mental health practice operating in-person clinics in select U.S. cities and offering virtual therapy, with an emphasis on evidence-based care and outcome measurement. It is comparable to Affiliated Psychologists as a multi-modality therapy and evaluation practice, though it is more standardized and tech-integrated.
• Alma: Alma is a membership-based network for independent mental health practitioners offering practice operations support, insurance billing, and referrals. It is comparable to Affiliated Psychologists as a multi-clinician private practice model, though Alma is a technology-enabled platform enabling independent therapists rather than a single physical group practice.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is an online therapy and psychiatric services marketplace connecting users to licensed therapists via text, audio, and video. It overlaps with Affiliated Psychologists' core therapy offering but competes on convenience and access through digital delivery rather than in-person office visits.
• Cerebral: Cerebral is a telehealth mental health platform providing therapy and medication management for anxiety, depression, and ADHD nationwide. It competes with Affiliated Psychologists' outpatient mental health and medication-adjacent services, but delivers exclusively via virtual care at significantly lower price points.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is one of the largest online counseling platforms, offering individual, couples, and teen therapy via subscription-based virtual sessions. It competes with Affiliated Psychologists' general psychotherapy and adolescent services, but at a mass-market, fully digital delivery model.
