MINDSOURCE CENTER, LLC

What MINDSOURCE CENTER, LLC does

Mindsource Center, LLC is a multidisciplinary behavioral-health and autism services practice headquartered at 27023 164th Ave SE in Covington, Washington, serving families across South King County (Kent, Renton, Auburn, Maple Valley, Covington, Federal Way). Founded in 2003 by Carrie Sheppard, M.Ed., LMHC — a mother whose personal experience raising a child with autism inspired the center — the firm offers an integrated whole-family care model under one provider, including ABA-based behavioral support, mental health counseling, neuropsychological assessment, speech-language therapy, art therapy, parent training, and a six-week ABA-based Friendship Builders Summer Camp for ages 5–11.

The practice's core technology is evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), augmented by licensed clinical psychology (including a 40+-year veteran pediatric neuropsychologist), speech-language pathology, and mental health counseling modalities. Notable specialization includes an openly autistic clinician (Micah Levenson) and an integrated team of BCBAs, LMHCs, an SLP, and an art therapist. Services are delivered in-clinic at Covington, via telehealth for select counselors, on-site at client homes/clinics across the Seattle metro, and inside contracted local school districts. The firm maintains a basic web presence (mindsourcecenter.com) plus a Facebook page, with growth dependent on community reputation, physician referrals, and school-district partnerships rather than paid acquisition.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service clinical delivery (private pay plus insurance reimbursement from Premera, First Choice, and Kaiser Permanente), summer camp tuition at $650/week with multi-tier discounts, private-pay neuropsychological batteries, and contracted school-based services. No external funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investors are disclosed; the company is founder-owned, privately held, and bootstrapped, operating with a small clinical team of approximately 12 people.
