Cedar Creek Associates, LLC

What Cedar Creek Associates, LLC does

Cedar Creek Associates, LLC is a mental health counseling practice headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, operating as an association of independently licensed therapists organized under an LLC. Founded in 1991, the practice delivers individual, couples, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. It maintains a primary San Marcos location and a secondary office in Corsicana, Texas (anchored by practitioner Marty Litchfield). The practice lists 6 employees alongside 9 practitioners, several of whom operate differentiated sub-brands such as Journeys Counseling and Restored Vessel Counseling within the Cedar Creek umbrella.

There is no proprietary technology platform or digital product. Service delivery is in-person counseling, with administrative and insurance-billing functions outsourced to Psych Dimensions Inc. The business model is fee-for-service: a mix of insurance reimbursement and private pay, with first-visit fees reported in the $125-$150 range. Patient acquisition is community-led, relying on local referrals from physicians, schools, churches, and other community touchpoints rather than paid marketing or digital channels. The practice carries no external funding, no venture backing, and no disclosed M&A activity. A material near-term event is the announced retirement of long-tenured practitioner Robert Herndon effective September 1, 2026, which will require redistribution of his caseload across remaining clinicians.

Direct peers

• Alma: Alma is a membership platform that supports independent therapists with insurance contracting, marketing, and practice management tools. Its network-based association model closely mirrors Cedar Creek's structure of independent practitioners sharing brand and infrastructure.
• Headway: Headway is a therapist network platform that helps independent providers get on insurance panels, manage billing, and grow caseloads. Directly analogous to Cedar Creek's insurance-panel-driven independent practitioner model.
• Octave: Octave is an in-person and virtual group therapy practice operating in multiple US markets with insurance acceptance. Similar practitioner-led group practice model serving diverse patient populations with multiple therapeutic modalities.
• Grow Therapy: Grow Therapy operates a therapist network platform similar to Alma, helping independent providers accept insurance and grow their practices. Comparable to Cedar Creek's model of independent therapists grouped under a common umbrella serving insured patients.
• Two Chairs: Two Chairs operates a multi-location in-person group therapy practice employing licensed therapists across multiple markets. Like Cedar Creek, it blends individual therapy with couples and family work and accepts major insurance plans, though at meaningfully larger scale.

Emerging players

• Spring Health: Spring Health offers employer-sponsored mental health services including therapy, coaching, and medication management. Adjacent peer in mental health service delivery that reaches patients through B2B contracts rather than Cedar Creek's direct-to-consumer model.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is an online therapy platform offering text, audio, and video therapy sessions with licensed therapists, often through employer and insurance partnerships. Direct competitor in mental health counseling delivery via digital channels.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest online therapy platform connecting patients with licensed therapists via messaging, chat, phone, and video. Competes for the same patient pool seeking mental health counseling but delivers via a digital-first, lower-friction model.
• Cerebral: Cerebral provides online mental health treatment including therapy and medication management. Overlaps with Cedar Creek's therapy services and the Psych Dimensions medication referral partnership, but operates nationally via telehealth.

Broad incumbents

• LifeStance Health: LifeStance Health is a large publicly traded outpatient mental health company operating hundreds of clinics across the US. Offers the same therapy and psychiatry services as Cedar Creek but at national scale, representing the institutional competitor archetype.
