Kentucky Counseling Center Broadens Reach Into Ohio By Acquiring And Rebranding Flourish Psychotherapy

In a significant development within the mental health care sector, Kentucky Counseling Center (KCC), a prominent provider of mental health services in Kentucky, has announced its acquisition of Flourish Psychotherapy, a well-regarded mental health company with its roots in Ohio. The offices located in Cincinnati and Columbus will undergo a rebranding process to become Counseling Now. This move is set to broaden the spectrum of services offered and extend the geographical reach of the organization.

Under the guidance of Founder Matt Grammer, LPCC-S, Counseling Now aims to enhance mental health care accessibility in Ohio by incorporating services for Medicaid recipients and introducing psychiatry into its service offerings. This strategic expansion is designed to improve the quality and availability of mental health care for clients across Ohio. Counseling Now will also accept Medicare and most major insurance plans, further broadening its accessibility.

Brittany Mellick, President of Kentucky Counseling Center, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, highlighting it as a pivotal moment in their mission to deliver superior mental health care across the region. "By joining forces, we can leverage our collective expertise and resources to better serve our communities," Mellick stated. The acquisition marks a significant step for KCC, reinforcing its leadership position in the mental health industry and its commitment to growth and innovation.

The merger brings together five locations across Kentucky and Ohio, creating a network of 170 providers and over 200 team members. "This is a big step for our company and will give us the chance to scale services throughout Ohio faster," Grammer remarked. He emphasized the benefits for both clinicians and clients, including free continuing education for clinicians and expanded insurance options for clients, notably Medicaid.

Counseling Now pledges to maintain the high standards of excellence and compassionate care that clients have come to expect from both Kentucky Counseling Center and Flourish Psychotherapy. The shared vision is that all communities should have affordable access to mental health care whenever needed. Laurie Sharp-Page, the previous owner of Flourish Psychotherapy, expressed her excitement about the expansion possibilities in Ohio and the additional support that Counseling Now can provide.
