Behavioral Health

Upholding Your Work in Behavioral Health

As a behavioral health provider, you understand the profound impact your work has on individuals, families, and communities. You’ve built a practice that not only treats symptoms but also changes lives through empathetic mental health and addiction care. At Agenda Health, we recognize the sacred trust you’ve established with your patients and staff. We facilitate behavioral health organizations like yours through transitions that honor both your clinical excellence and your commitment to healing.

Meeting Rising ABA Demand with Expertise

The growing prevalence of autism spectrum disorder, which is now diagnosed in roughly 1 in 36 children, continues to drive demand for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services across the country. As the field evolves, providers face increasingly complex decisions around staffing models, reimbursement rates, and clinical quality.

We’ve worked closely with ABA organizations of all sizes to navigate these challenges and capitalize on market momentum through strategic sales and capital raises. With active interest from both private equity and strategic buyers, many founders are finding this to be a compelling time to assess their long-term goals and consider next steps.

Navigating Growth & Opportunity in IDD Care

We’ve advised a wide range of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) providers through successful transactions and growth initiatives, bringing deep experience in both group home–based care and in-home support models. As states continue to shift toward community-based services and consumer-directed care, the IDD sector has become a focal point for mission-driven investors seeking scalable, high-impact platforms.

Operators must navigate complex Medicaid reimbursement structures, staffing challenges, and regulatory variation across markets, which are all areas where we bring meaningful insight. For providers with strong compliance, outcomes, and infrastructure, today’s market presents a compelling environment to explore strategic options or growth partnerships.

Facilitating Transitions for SUD Care Providers

The demand for high-quality Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment continues to grow, driven by rising overdose rates, expanded insurance coverage, and a broader push for integrated behavioral health services. With over 40 million Americans affected by substance use each year, the need for accessible, outcomes-driven care has never been greater.

We’ve advised SUD treatment providers across a range of models, including residential and PHP to MAT and outpatient programs, navigating complexities around licensure, census stability, and payer strategy. As interest from both financial and strategic buyers accelerates, many operators are finding this to be a strong environment to evaluate strategic options.

Meeting Advancements in Counseling & Psychiatry

The counseling and psychiatry landscape has seen sustained growth as awareness of mental health needs expands and access to care improves. Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience a mental illness each year, fueling demand for both therapy and medication management across age groups and acuity levels.

We’ve worked with behavioral health providers offering in-person, virtual, and hybrid care models, and we understand the operational and clinical dynamics, from payer mix and provider utilization to licensure and compliance. With growing investor interest in scalable, tech-enabled mental health platforms, it’s an opportune time for providers to assess their growth or exit strategies.

“Agenda gave us peace of mind and ease in selling our business. It’s such a big decision and undertaking, and Agenda takes something that’s probably one of the biggest decisions that a company owner is going to make and makes it easy and smooth. I would highly recommend it to anybody that is in our same kind of situation.” – Roy and Pam Payton, Former IDD Business Owners
