I’m exploring an acquisition in behavioral health and looking to speak with searchers, ETA operators, financiers, or former owners who have completed transactions in this space. Specifically interested in deals involving: • Outpatient behavioral health / counseling practices • Absentee or partially absentee ownership transitions • Payer mix vs. cash-pay lessons learned • Compliance surprises post-acquisition • Credentialing and billing transfer issues • Staff retention, turnover management, and clinical leadership If you’ve acquired or exited a business in this vertical, I’d appreciate the chance to compare notes. Comments or DMs welcome.

^redacted‌ I'm a physician with multiple behavioral health practices that I have started and built from the ground up. I'm now exploring acquisitions to continue to expand and diversify. I have extensive experience dealing with most things you mentioned. Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to talk. ###-###-#### redacted Best, AJ

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. I have successfully financed multiple businesses in this area via the SBA. I know how to navigate these deals, especially if we need a solution for licensing. If you ever need help talking through a acquisition, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min. Look forward to chatting!
