Episode 266 | Mental Health Industry Trends in 2025: Private Equity Investment in Healthcare, Values Based Care, Mental Health Market Consolidation & More


Listen Later

What's really happening in the mental health industry—and how will it affect your practice in 2025?

From the growing influence of private equity investment in healthcare to the rise of values based care, the mental health industry is changing rapidly. We're seeing a consolidation wave across the mental health market, paired with the adoption of new tech and reporting models that could impact everything from how you run your business to how you get paid.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's building (or hoping to protect) a sustainable, ethical, and independent group practice in a landscape that's becoming increasingly complex.

In this episode, I'll walk you through:

  • Why post-COVID demand is up, but your referrals might be slowing down—and how that connects to shifts in the mental health market
  • What private equity investment in healthcare actually looks like behind the scenes (hint: it's not just about big buyouts)
  • How the shift toward values based care could impact your reimbursement rates and clinical workflow
  • What AI and tech disruptions really mean for day-to-day operations in group practices—and why it's closer than you think
  • My personal strategies for staying visible, competitive, and value-aligned in a changing mental health industry

As a group practice owner myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel to watch the mental health industry trends evolve so fast. But knowledge is power—and with the right tools, collaboration, and mindset, we can adapt and lead with intention.

If you want deeper support, trainings, and community around navigating the changing mental health industry, come join us inside The Exchange membership. I've got you.
