THREE BIRDS COUNSELING & CLINICAL SUPERVISION, PLLC

What THREE BIRDS COUNSELING & CLINICAL SUPERVISION, PLLC does

Three Birds Counseling & Clinical Supervision, PLLC is a multi-provider private mental health counseling practice founded in 2016 by Maria Adele Paredes, PhD, LCMHCS, and headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. The practice delivers individual and group counseling, psychoeducational and immigration hardship evaluations, and clinical supervision services through two physical offices (Greensboro and Raleigh) and HIPAA-compliant telehealth statewide across North Carolina. Its clinical portfolio centers on eating disorders and body image concerns, ADHD testing and coaching, anxiety, trauma, depression, infertility and pregnancy loss, and couples therapy, delivered via evidence-based modalities including Brainspotting, EMDR, DBT, CBT, FBT, EFT, ACT, RCT, and MI. A bilingual Spanish-language intake pathway extends access to Hispanic clients in the region.

The practice operates an out-of-network, fee-for-service revenue model with published rates (individual sessions at $195/50 minutes, 90-minute sessions and couples therapy at $300, group sessions at $65, ADHD and educational evaluations ranging $1,300-$1,950, immigration hardship evaluations at $900, and clinical supervision at $75-$195 per session depending on format). It supplements core therapy with nine concurrent group programs (Body Works, Hack Your ADHD, Teen/Adult Eating Disorders Support, Anxiety Reduction, etc.), workshops, and community talks. The technology stack is intentionally minimal: HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing for teletherapy and a secure client portal for appointment management, with no disclosed AI/ML components, mobile application, or proprietary platform. Marketing is content-driven, anchored by an extensive educational blog, downloadable client resources, and active social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), supplemented by referral partnerships with a co-specialized nutrition practice (Lutz & Alexander) and an academic affiliation with UNC-G's Counseling Department.

Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer: clients self-refer via the website, phone, email, or secure portal, then submit out-of-network superbills to insurance for reimbursement. The practice serves individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents in North Carolina, plus pre-licensed LCMHCAs seeking clinical supervision hours and professionals pursuing eating-disorder specialist certification. The company is founder-owned and privately held, with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or institutional investors.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program for teens and young adults with mental-health and ED-related needs. Comparable in serving adolescent mental-health segments with virtual delivery, though at venture scale.
• Equip Health: VC-backed virtual eating-disorder treatment program offering family-based telehealth. Comparable as a direct competitor in the ED treatment space, but operating nationally and at venture scale.
• Within Health: Virtual eating-disorder treatment provider with a HAES-aligned, weight-inclusive philosophy directly mirroring Three Birds' clinical stance, serving clients across multiple states.

Broad incumbents

• Monte Nido & Affiliates: National eating-disorder treatment provider with residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care. Comparable in ED specialization but operates at substantially greater scale and acuity breadth.
• Thriveworks Counseling: Large multi-state outpatient counseling and psychiatry platform. Comparable as a multi-clinician private-pay counseling model, but at vastly greater geographic scale and with insurance contracting.
• LifeStance Health: Public outpatient mental-health platform operating hundreds of clinics across the U.S., including North Carolina. Comparable in delivering in-person and telehealth therapy and psychiatry services, but at much greater scale and with insurance contracting.

Direct peers

• Veritas Collaborative: Specialty eating-disorder treatment provider with virtual and in-person programs across multiple states. Closely comparable in ED specialization, though operating at greater scale and with a multi-state telehealth footprint.
• Carolina Counseling Specialists: Multi-clinician private counseling practice operating across multiple NC cities with telehealth. Comparable as a similarly sized NC outpatient mental-health collective serving overlapping segments.

Regional players

• Center for Eating Disorders at HopeWay: Charlotte-based outpatient and residential eating-disorder treatment provider in North Carolina. Directly comparable as an ED-specialized practice in the same state, though with broader residential capabilities.

Others

• Lutz & Alexander Nutrition: Named strategic partner — a fat-positive, non-diet registered-dietitian practice in Raleigh serving eating-disorder clients. Adjacent rather than competing, but a structural referral counterparty integral to Three Birds' ED care model.
