Adjuvant Behavioral Health

What Adjuvant Behavioral Health does

Adjuvant Behavioral Health is an Austin, Texas-based behavioral telehealth company that provides psychotherapy and medication management exclusively to cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. Operating on a vertically specialized psycho-oncology model, the company delivers online therapy and psychiatry services through licensed clinicians and a Chief Medical Officer who is dually board-certified in Adult and Pediatric Neuro-Oncology and Neurology. Its product is a single integrated service: oncology-specific behavioral telehealth sessions accessed via a self-serve online intake portal, supported by medication management when clinically appropriate. The company bills insurance carriers for recurring therapy services and supplements direct-to-patient acquisition with referral partnerships into oncology practices (notably Texas Oncology) and cancer support organizations, and it maintains Joint Commission accreditation as a sector-specific quality credential. The company is private, founder-owned by four clinicians, and bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds.

Adjuvant was spun out of The Timothy Center, a brick-and-mortar behavioral health practice founded in Austin in 2001 by Dr. Jimmy Myers. Dr. Josh Myers joined as co-owner in 2007, and the practice pivoted online during COVID-19 in 2020; Adjuvant was formally established as a separate technology-first entity in 2022 when Dr. Chris Murray joined, followed later in 2022 by Dr. Zsila Sadighi, who brought neuro-oncology clinical leadership from St. Jude and MD Anderson. The company positions itself as the only dedicated online behavioral health provider for the oncology population and operates with a small team (11–50 employees) anchored in Texas with stated ambitions for national expansion.
