Henegar Counseling Center

What Henegar Counseling Center does

Henegar Counseling Center is a private, faith-based outpatient mental health practice headquartered at 1815 McCallie Avenue in Chattanooga, Tennessee, founded in 1982 by the board of the Chattanooga Bible Institute to provide Christian-integrated clinical counseling support to pastors, churches, and the broader community. The center delivers individual therapy, couples and marriage counseling, family therapy, group therapy, and child and adolescent counseling, alongside comprehensive psychological testing and evaluation for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning or diagnostic concerns. Clinical staff hold credentials as Ph.D. psychologists, licensed professional counselors, and licensed marriage and family therapists, and are trained in specialized evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Brain Spotting, PCIT, Neurofeedback, Prepare-Enrich premarital therapy, and TF-CBT.

The practice operates within a structural affiliation with Richmont Graduate University, which provides intern placements, shared faculty appointments, and connection to the Richmont Global Traumatology team; several Henegar staff serve as associate or assistant professors at Richmont. Services are delivered in person at the Chattanooga headquarters and via telehealth for select practitioners licensed across Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan, and Alabama. Business operations run on pay-at-time-of-service billing, with most major insurance plans accepted and flexible or sliding-scale rates available through intern-delivered sessions, supplemented by donations processed through QGiv and the Richmont donation portal and community fundraising events such as the annual golf tournament.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: Largest online therapy platform connecting clients with licensed therapists via subscription. Same core offering of professional counseling but delivered online-only at significantly larger scale and with a different go-to-market.
• LifeStance Health: One of the largest outpatient mental health networks in the US, offering therapy and psychiatric services across dozens of states. Operates in the same outpatient mental health category but at materially larger scale and with broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Ellie Mental Health: Outpatient mental health clinic franchise offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy with insurance billing and multiple service lines including trauma work. Direct comparability in business model, payment structure, and breadth of services.
• Thriveworks: National outpatient counseling chain offering individual, couples, and family therapy with insurance accepted and telehealth options. Closely comparable to Henegar in service mix, in-person plus remote delivery, and insurance-based payment model, but at significantly larger scale.

Others

• Rogers Behavioral Health: Not-for-profit behavioral health system operating multiple specialty programs including OCD, anxiety, and eating disorders across several states. Related clinical focus on evidence-based mental health treatment but operates inpatient and residential programs alongside outpatient services.
• Brightside Health: Online mental health platform delivering therapy plus medication for anxiety and depression. Related to Henegar's therapy-plus-testing combination but delivered entirely online and focused on medication-eligible conditions.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large nonprofit addiction treatment organization offering residential, outpatient, and continuing care. Henegar also treats substance use disorders, but Hazelden Betty Ford's primary delivery model is residential and at significantly larger scale.
• Cerebral: Online mental health subscription platform focused on anxiety, depression, and ADHD with combined therapy and medication management. Adjacent mental health offering but more psychiatrically focused and different care delivery model.

Emerging players

• Grow Therapy: Online platform connecting clients to in-network therapists with insurance accepted and online booking. Comparable insurance-based therapy model but with a marketplace structure that competes for the same insurance-reimbursed therapy demand.
• Talkspace: Public online therapy platform offering individual and couples therapy via messaging and video. Comparable therapy delivery but digitally-native model targeting different client acquisition patterns than Henegar's community-led motion.
