Behavioral Health Investment Banking

FOCUS’s Behavioral Health Investment Banking team brings deep transaction experience and sector specific insight to help owners navigate this evolving landscape. We understand the operational, regulatory, and reimbursement complexities unique to behavioral health businesses as well as how sophisticated buyers evaluate risk, scalability, and platform potential.

Private equity investment in behavioral health continues to accelerate as investors seek to consolidate a highly fragmented market and address rising demand driven by demographic shifts, increased awareness, and national provider shortages across multiple care settings. From outpatient mental health and substance use treatment to specialty and multi-site platforms, behavioral health has become a priority sector for investors focused on scalable growth, predictable revenue, and long-term impact.

Our team works closely with founders and management teams to maximize value through rigorous financial modeling, thoughtful positioning, and a disciplined, confidential marketing process. By creating competitive tension among qualified private equity and strategic buyers, we help behavioral health owners achieve premium outcomes while selecting partners aligned with their clinical mission and long-term goals.
