Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Psych Hub is a Nashville, Tennessee-based behavioral health education company that operates a clinical skill development platform for mental health clinicians. Its core product is a catalog of more than 100 accredited continuing education (CE) courses developed by behavioral health experts and covering modalities, conditions and populations including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, substance use and crisis intervention. Courses are clinician-authored, peer-reviewed and accredited across more than 10 CE approval bodies; completing an eligible course generates a CE certificate stored in the platform.

Beyond coursework, the platform includes an AI Therapy Simulator, in beta, that lets clinicians conduct turn-based practice conversations with an AI client and receive rubric-based feedback, initially covering motivational interviewing and verbal de-escalation, alongside a moderated provider community. The company is also developing Clinical Care Pathway (CCP) certifications intended as portable, condition-specific provider credentials, and offers a "Connect" component through which clinicians share psychoeducation resources with clients and appear on public profiles, currently rolled out via partner networks. A separate consumer-facing library holds 107 plain-language mental health articles across 18 topics, authored or co-authored with licensed clinicians.

Psych Hub segments its offering across individual clinicians, provider organizations (health systems, multi-state groups, CCBHCs and 1099 networks, with enterprise admin tools, SSO and LTI), health plans and payers, non-clinical "mental health allies" such as HR professionals and school counselors, and government and professional associations.

Founding story

Co-founders Marjorie Morrison, a licensed therapist and mental-health advocate, and Patrick J. Kennedy, a former U.S. Congressman and founder of The Kennedy Forum, started the company in 2019 on the premise that behavioral health lacked serious infrastructure for clinical skill development rather than another e-learning catalog with a mental health category.

Business model

Psych Hub sells access to its learning platform on a freemium and subscription basis for individual clinicians β€” free entry-level access with a Pro tier listed at $15 per seat per month billed annually β€” and through negotiated partnership tiers for provider organizations, health plans and payers, government bodies and professional associations. Enterprise offerings include administrative tools, SSO and LTI integration, CCP certifications across priority conditions, portable provider credentials and monthly reporting on network-wide skill development.

Subscription seats for individual clinicians (free tier plus a $15/seat/month annual Pro plan, which includes the AI simulator and community) and enterprise/partnership tiers for organizations and payers.

Traction

The website lists 100+ accredited CE courses and 107 consumer articles across 18 topics. The company reports 30M+ content views from its earlier consumer-facing work, 6+ major national payers engaged and 40+ stakeholder organizations co-developing Clinical Care Pathways. Press coverage of its 2022 financing reported more than 1,500 proprietary educational assets for providers and deployment to over 800 partner organizations.

Latest developments

In October 2025 Psych Hub announced a partnership with the Professional Tennis Players Association on mental fitness resources for tennis players, and in the same month premiered a "Mental Health Mixtape" on Spotify for World Mental Health Day. Current product status per the company: courses and CE are live, the AI Therapy Simulator is in beta covering motivational interviewing and verbal de-escalation, Clinical Care Pathway certifications are in development, and public clinician profiles are rolling out through partner networks with self-service profiles planned.

β–ΈFull profile β€” market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

Psych Hub positions itself as clinical infrastructure for behavioral health workforce development rather than a general e-learning catalog, and is co-leading work on Clinical Care Pathways as an emerging national framework for behavioral health quality with Healthsperien and the American Psychological Association. Coverage of its 2022 raise noted adjacent players in patient-to-therapist matching and clinician support, including Cerebral, Talkspace and Alma. Its 2024 acquisition of the SimplePractice Learning course catalog consolidated a competing clinician CE library.

The company combines accredited CE coursework, applied-skill practice via an AI simulator, and a credentialing layer (Clinical Care Pathway certifications) in one platform, with content developed with subject-matter experts from Harvard, Columbia, Penn and Yale, reviewed by a named Clinical Review Team of licensed clinicians, and checked for cultural responsiveness and reading level. It also works directly with payers and associations to define the quality standard its credentials attest to.

Technology

A web-based learning management platform (lms.psychhub.com) delivering accredited course content, certificate issuance and tracking, and curated patient-facing resource collections that require no sign-in and involve no PHI. Its AI Therapy Simulator, in beta, runs turn-based simulated clinical conversations with an AI client and returns real-time, rubric-based feedback on technique. Enterprise deployments support SSO and LTI.

Go-to-market

Direct self-service sign-up for individual clinicians combined with enterprise sales and partnership agreements with payers, provider organizations, associations and government bodies. The company has built distribution through named partners including the Department of Veterans Affairs, CVS Health/Aetna, Magellan Healthcare, evolvedMD, YouTube, SHRM and the Professional Tennis Players Association, and reports deploying its platform to over 800 partners spanning corporations, healthcare organizations, governments, nonprofits and educational systems.

Licensed behavioral health clinicians; provider organizations including health systems, multi-state group practices, CCBHCs and 1099 clinician networks; health plans and payers; non-clinical mental health allies such as HR professionals, school counselors and community advocates; and government agencies and professional associations. Historically the company also produced content for consumers seeking care.

Geography

Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, with a United States focus; partners and programs cited include U.S. federal agencies (Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Navy), national payers and U.S. professional associations.

History

Psych Hub was founded in 2019 by therapist Marjorie Morrison and former U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy. Early work focused on consumer-facing mental health education and partnerships: a COVID-19 resource hub developed with advocacy groups, insurers and the Department of Veterans Affairs in April 2020, a workplace mental health initiative with the SHRM Foundation and One Mind at Work in July 2020, a VA partnership in October 2020, suicide-prevention programs with CVS Health/Aetna and Magellan in 2021, a SHRM Workplace Mental Health Ally Certificate in September 2021, collaborative care training with Magellan Healthcare and NeuroFlow in April 2022, and a YouTube health partnership in October 2022. In August 2022 the company raised $16 million to expand into therapist matching. In July 2024 it acquired the SimplePractice Learning course catalog, expanding its professional training library to 100+ courses and launching a Mental Health Learning Platform with a Client & Patient Resources module; Scott Healy was cited as chief executive officer at that time. It launched a behavioral health care navigation platform in October 2024, won a 2025 Health Tech World Award for Mental Health Innovation in May 2025, and announced a partnership with the Professional Tennis Players Association in October 2025. Marjorie Morrison is listed as Chief Executive Officer and co-founder on the company's current leadership page.

Risks & controversies

Key elements of the offering are not yet generally available: Clinical Care Pathway certifications remain in development, the AI Therapy Simulator is in beta with limited scenario coverage, and self-service public profiles have not launched. The CCP credential's value depends on adoption by payers and associations that are still co-developing the framework.
