Provident Behavioral Health has announced its acquisition of Care and Counseling, a mental health services nonprofit in Creve Coeur, Missouri. According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition marks the 35th Behavioral Health Care acquisition of the year, and the 10th in the counseling specialty.
Care and Counseling was founded in 1968 as an interfaith agency providing mental health services to children, adults and families, as well as congregational and clergy training.
Founded in 1860, Provident Behavioral Health provides in-person behavioral health services at its four St. Louis-area locations, as well as through a crisis hotline and its participation in the 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It also provides intensive residential treatment for women at its Mary Ryder Home.
Following the transaction, Provident will provide in-person care through expanded office locations, including faith-based counseling, which previously was available through both nonprofits.
The combined nonprofit will operate under the Provident Behavioral Health name and serve about 4,000 people locally and another 40,000 across Missouri and the United States.
As part of the organizations’ combination, Provident now takes ownership of Care and Counseling’s building in Creve Coeur. Later this year, Provident plans to relocate its Northwest counseling staff from a leased office in Maryland Heights to the Creve Coeur property.
