Center for Green Psychiatry

What Center for Green Psychiatry does

Center for Green Psychiatry, PLLC, operating as The Brown Center & Clinics, is a private integrative psychiatry practice founded in 2019 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The practice delivers virtual outpatient mental health services exclusively to patients residing in Texas, offering three standardized service types: 60-75 minute psychiatric evaluations, 30-minute medication management appointments that integrate psychotherapy elements rather than functioning as quick "med check" visits, and 45-minute extended follow-up sessions. The clinical team treats a broad range of conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, trauma, addiction, and autism spectrum disorders, with subspecialty emphasis on male mental health, LGBTQ+ mental health, women's health, reproductive health, sexual assault aftermath, and adolescent medicine.

The business model is fee-for-service clinical care billed primarily through four credentialed commercial insurance carriers (Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Aetna), supplemented by direct patient payments. Patient acquisition is driven by self-serve online booking through the IntakeQ platform and by content marketing built around founder Dr. Gregory Scott Brown's thought leadership — including a Psychology Today "Green Psychiatry" blog, bylines in Men's Health and Washington Post, and the published book "The Self-Healing Mind." The practice employs approximately 5 people and is founder-owned with no external institutional capital, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. Operating geographies are restricted to Texas due to state medical licensure requirements, and there is no evidence of funded expansion, M&A, or productized technology beyond the booking platform integration.

• Talkiatry: National telehealth psychiatry practice staffed by psychiatrists providing evaluations and medication management. Directly comparable to The Brown Center's psychiatrist-led, insurance-credentialed, telehealth-delivered outpatient psychiatry model, but at a national scale.
• Klarity: Telehealth psychiatry practice specializing in ADHD and related conditions, offering evaluations and ongoing medication management. Comparable outpatient psychiatry service model delivered virtually with insurance and cash-pay options.

Broad incumbents

• Spring Health: Employer-sponsored mental health benefit provider offering therapy, psychiatry, and coaching across digital and in-person modalities. Comparable in combining therapy and medication management in a virtual-first outpatient model, but distributed via employer contracts.
• Lyra Health: Enterprise mental health benefit platform offering therapy, coaching, and psychiatry to employer-sponsored populations. Comparable outpatient mental health offering including psychiatry and therapy, but accessed primarily through employer contracts rather than direct consumer acquisition.
• Hims & Hers: Large direct-to-consumer telehealth platform that has expanded into mental health including anxiety and depression treatment with medication management. Comparable telehealth psychiatry offering bundled into a broader wellness platform.

Emerging players

• Cerebral: Telehealth platform offering online psychiatric evaluation and medication management for conditions including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Comparable in delivery model and clinical scope, though Cerebral operates as a subscription platform rather than a per-visit practice.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth psychiatry and therapy provider focused on anxiety and depression, combining medication management with therapy. Comparable in combining psychiatric care with therapy elements and in telehealth-first delivery, but scaled across multiple states.
• Alma: Provider platform and network that helps independent therapists and psychiatric clinicians run in-network practices with insurance billing and back-office support. Comparable in enabling insurance-credentialed outpatient mental health practices, though it is a B2B platform rather than a direct practice.

Regional players

• ARC Health Partners: Group of psychiatry and therapy practices operating outpatient mental health clinics across multiple U.S. markets. Comparable outpatient psychiatry operating model, though ARC operates physical clinic infrastructure across several states rather than a single-state virtual practice.
• Two Chairs: Outpatient therapy clinic group offering in-person and virtual therapy with longer session times and a matched-therapist model. Comparable in emphasizing longer, higher-quality sessions over high-volume short visits, though primarily therapy rather than psychiatry.
