The Coping Resource Center

What The Coping Resource Center does

The Coping Resource Center is a private psychotherapy group practice founded in 2019 by Dr. Liz Ross, Ph.D., and headquartered at 2211 Norfolk St Suite 455 in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston, Texas. The practice delivers outpatient mental health services across individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy, and teen therapy, supplemented by structured specialty programs in chronic pain (an 8-10 session CBT for Chronic Pain Program priced at $1,800), insomnia (CBT-I), OCD (ERP-based, directed by Dr. Abby Candelari), eating disorders (including a family support group), and DBT skills groups for adolescents. Clinical services are delivered in-person at the Houston office and via telehealth across most US states under PSYPACT, with appointments available during daytime, evening, and Saturday hours and booked through the Jane App platform.

The practice is built around a team-based model employing 16 or more clinicians, including licensed clinical psychologists, licensed professional counselors, licensed master social workers, and supervised doctoral trainees. Notable technical differentiators include Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for phobias (acquired via Amelia Academy training) and access to clinicians cross-credentialed at institutions such as MD Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, and TIRR Memorial Hermann. Evidence-based modalities span CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, and trauma-focused approaches.

Revenue is generated on a per-session, out-of-network cash-pay basis, with session fees ranging from $130-$150 for supervised trainees to $250-$350 for licensed psychologists, plus fees for neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments and packaged specialty programs. The practice partners with Thrizer to automate out-of-network insurance reimbursement, reducing client upfront costs by approximately 70%. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supported by organic social media, SEO-optimized content, free 15-minute consultations, professional referral pipelines from VA and hospital systems, and earned media appearances by senior clinicians.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Enterprise mental health benefits provider offering in-person and virtual evidence-based therapy to employer clients — competes for the same therapist talent pool and increasingly for self-pay consumers.
• Talkspace: Large national virtual therapy platform accepting insurance and offering subscription pricing — a broad incumbent competitor that competes with CRC's telehealth offering on price and convenience.
• BetterHelp: Largest D2C online therapy marketplace offering subscription-priced therapy across all50 states — represents the price/availability benchmark against which CRC's cash-pay D2C positioning must compete.

Direct peers

• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for teens and young adults addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma — comparable evidence-based behavioral health delivery to CRC's teen and adolescent therapy offerings, at higher acuity.
• Two Chairs: Modern, multi-state group therapy practice employing licensed clinicians delivering evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT) with hybrid in-person/telehealth delivery — a near-twin operating model scaled further.
• Thriving Center of Psychology: Multi-clinician group psychology practice offering evidence-based individual, couples, and family therapy with comparable specialty tracks and D2C booking — a directly comparable operating model to CRC.

Emerging players

• NOCD: Specialty virtual OCD therapy provider delivering structured ERP (the same modality CRC's OCD program uses) via telehealth — directly comparable on CRC's specialized OCD service line.
• OCD & Anxiety Center of Minnesota: Specialty outpatient clinic delivering intensive CBT, ERP, and ACT for OCD and anxiety disorders — closely comparable to CRC's specialty-program approach (CBT-I, CBT for Chronic Pain, OCD Program).

Others

• Headway: Therapist network and billing platform that helps independent clinicians accept insurance — adjacent competitor that could absorb CRC's out-of-network model or poach its clinicians by enabling easier in-network practice.

Regional players

• Austin Anxiety and Behavioral Specialists: Group psychology practice in Austin, TX focused on anxiety, OCD, and related conditions using CBT/ERP — overlapping clinical specialty and Texas regional footprint with CRC.
