Jump to a Key Moment
What This Video Covers
Opening a mental health clinic takes more than finding an office and hiring clinicians. The decisions you make before opening day shape whether your practice can attract patients, support its team, and sustain the cost of care.
In this video, Adam Gunton, founder and managing partner of Behavioral Health Partners, explains how to move from a clinic idea to your first patient. He connects the major parts of the launch process so you can see how financial planning, licensing, insurance credentialing, staffing, and marketing affect one another.
Watch to understand what needs to happen first, which tasks can move forward together, and where an overlooked dependency can delay your opening. Adam also covers why patient acquisition belongs in your startup plan from the beginning, with intake systems and referral relationships ready before appointments become available.
Whether you are a clinician opening your first practice or an entrepreneur planning a behavioral health business, this walkthrough will help you put the next steps in order.
