dēhp Therapeutic

What dēhp Therapeutic does

dēhp Therapeutic (legal entity: dehp LLC) is a privately held, Arizona-licensed integrative behavioral health clinic founded in 2014 and headquartered in Phoenix. The company delivers physical and behavioral health services through a mind-body care model, anchored by its proprietary dēhp Integrative Treatment (dIT), a trauma-focused method that stimulates processing and integration of traumatic events. An IRB-approved preliminary investigation by Southwest Behavioral & Health Services reported an 82% reliable change index in an average of 5.9 sessions, compared with a U.S. national average of 34.6% in 4.9 sessions. Services are delivered across three Phoenix-metro clinic locations (Downtown Phoenix, Glendale, and 32nd Street Phoenix), supported by the AdvancedMD patient portal and TherapyPortal scheduling infrastructure.

The product portfolio comprises the dIT trauma treatment, a five-day-per-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), the Downtown Navigator homelessness outreach program, the H2O (Housing to Outcomes) pre-tenancy and tenancy support program, AZDOT-certified DUI screening and MVD/State-approved Level II Substance Abuse Education, veteran-specific services, and the dIT Certification Program (a 40-hour NBCC-approved CE curriculum with 50 consultation hours, $4,500 tuition, ACEP No. 6368). The company integrates HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) data to coordinate housing and behavioral health outcomes.

Revenue is generated through four streams: insurance reimbursement (in-network with Molina, AHCCCS, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Mercy Care, and Banner Health), a sliding-scale self-pay option, dIT clinician certification tuition, and government training grants (AZ Veterans Affairs Office, Southwest Behavioral & Health Services, Health Choice AZ). Customer segments include veterans and active military, individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability, DUI/court-mandated clients, and general mental health patients. The company is led by CEO Josette Sullins, with a clinical team of approximately 18 named staff including LPCs, LCSWs, BHTs, case managers, and a Chief Behavioral Health Officer (Dr. Maria Navarro).
