The 40 Fastest-Growing Behavioral Health Companies in 2024

Outpatient mental health providers made up the bulk of behavioral health companies that appeared on this year’s Inc. 5000, a list of the nation’s fastest-growing companies.

Of the 40 companies that Behavioral Health Business identified, 24 exclusively focused on providing mental health services in various formats and with a wide variety of specializations. Two other organizations also provided mental health services on top of another specialty, such as autism therapy or addiction treatment. (See the whole list here.)

The list included six autism therapy providers. Several are smaller operators — such as the one at the top of the behavioral health list in terms of growth — and large, well-established platform companies that are among the largest providers in the nation.

Topping the list of fastest-growing behavioral health providers, Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based ABA Centers of America achieved 32,192% revenue growth and an overall ranking of No. 5 on the Inc. 5000. It was the third-highest-ranked of all health services organizations on the list. Founded in 2020, the company is relatively young. The company has already eschewed private equity investment and fueled its growth with the cash it generates and the investment of its executives, particularly founder and CEO Chris Bennet. 

Last year, BHB tracked 36 behavioral health companies on the Inc. 5000 list.

To appear on the list, private, for-profit companies must have financed at least $100,000 in 2020 and generated at least $2 million in 2023. The growth percentage reflects the three-year revenue increase ending in 2023. (More on the qualifications.)
