Established profitable cash-pay practice with strong retention & low owner invol
Established South Bay / Manhattan Beach outpatient mental-health practice. Six contract clinicians serve clients across eight specialties: perinatal, children & teens, family, couples, men's-focused, ADHD, grief, and art therapy. Four of six therapists are Registered Art Therapists (ATR / ATR-BC) — a hard-to-recreate credential concentration.
Out-of-network PPO model: cash-pay at time of service; claims and benefits support provided. Operations are asset-light — single-suite footprint, Theranest practice-management, QuickBooks accounting, and clean year-by-year recast financials available under NDA.
A differentiated "Feel the Therapist Before You Book" audio-matching model lets prospective clients pre-select clinical fit, supporting a 30-session average length of treatment.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
LTM Revenue: $325,418
LTM Adjusted SDE: $57,009 (17.5% margin)
Pro-Forma SDE: $73,809 (22.7% margin) — credits $6K SEO + $10.8K rent savings already implemented
Published rates $200–$250 per 50-min for licensed clinicians; $175 for the Associate (Intern AMFT)
CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS
148 currently active clients across the six-therapist roster
91% return rate — clients who come back for more than one session
30-session average length of treatment — well above industry norms

About the Business
- Years in Operation

- Employees

- Facilities & Assets
- Established multi-year outpatient counseling practice with consistent six-figure cash-pay service revenue. California S-Corporation in good standing with clean recast financials (2022 through LTM May 2025 / April 2026); federal tax returns filed 2021–2024.
Owner-led practice grew from solo to a six-clinician roster on a revenue-split contract model. Practice operates from a leased single-suite footprint in Manhattan Beach after right-sizing a second suite for cost savings.
A long-tenured remote administrator (11 years) handles client intake, OON insurance benefits verification, claims, and client communications — a meaningful institutional-knowledge layer that transfers with the deal. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Differentiated position in a fragmented outpatient market.
Competitive Set:
(1) National telehealth platforms (BetterHelp, Talkspace) — scale but commoditized with weak therapist-client matching.
(2) Solo practitioners — personalized but limited specialty breadth and intake infrastructure.
(3) Group practices (the direct comp) — few have the audio-matching IP or comparable SEO footprint.
(4) Insurance-based clinics — volume-driven, lower specialty depth.
One Heart's Moats:
(1) Eight specialty areas under one roof with therapist autonomy.
(2) "Feel the Therapist" audio-matching drives client-therapist fit and long-arc retention (30-session average length of treatment per OHCC's published Cost of Therapy guidance).
(3) Strong SEO + organic inbound reducing paid-acquisition dependency.
(4) Cash-pay predictability with no payer concentration or reimbursement complexity. - Opportunities for Growth
- (1) Activate Owner + Marketing → Supply + Demand. Practice runs lean today on residual organic demand; active leadership plus modest marketing dollars unlocks both sides — recruit more contract therapists (supply) and scale content/social for qualified inbound (demand). Single largest value-creation lever.
(2) Multi-Channel Marketing — SEO, Content & Social. Scale blog/SEO across high-demand niches (perinatal, teens, men's, family, ADHD, couples, grief); build location-based pages; activate social with therapist-driven audio/video.
(3) Scale the "Feel the Therapist" Audio Library. Systematize therapist audio interviews; repurpose across website, blog, social; embed on service pages to drive conversion.
(4) Expand Clinical Team — Revenue-Split Capacity Add. Contract structure adds clinicians at near-zero fixed cost; add therapists in undersupplied specialties.
