Mental health care delivery is being reshaped by consolidation, and the latest move comes from a company that already claims the title of the world’s largest technology-enabled mental health provider. PsychPlus has acquired a California-based psychiatric organization, a deal that significantly boosts its clinical workforce and hospital partnerships in one of the nation’s most populous states.
BAKERSFIELD, CA, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PsychPlus, the world’s largest technology-enabled mental health company, has completed the acquisition of Precision Psychiatric Services, Inc., an established California-based psychiatric organization with an extensive network of psychiatrists and hospital partnerships. This transaction marks a significant milestone in PsychPlus’s national expansion, bringing more than 100 psychiatrists into its clinical network and substantially enhancing its capacity to deliver comprehensive behavioral healthcare across California and beyond.
The merger combines Precision’s established clinical network, physician expertise, and hospital-based psychiatric services with PsychPlus’s proprietary technology, national clinical infrastructure, and global digital mental health capabilities. Together, the organizations aim to expand access to high-quality psychiatric care while helping hospitals and health systems tackle persistent workforce shortages, improve clinical coverage, and build more sustainable behavioral health programs.
“This acquisition represents another major step in our mission to fundamentally transform how mental healthcare is delivered,” said Dr. Faisal Tai, Founder and CEO of PsychPlus. “Precision has built an exceptional psychiatric organization with deep clinical expertise and strong hospital relationships throughout California. By combining that foundation with our technology-enabled platform and national infrastructure, we’re strengthening our ability to support health systems, expand access to specialty psychiatric care, and deliver better outcomes for patients at scale.”
Expanding Psychiatric Expertise and Hospital Partnerships
Since its founding in 2018, Precision Psychiatric Services has built a substantial footprint in California through its physician-led psychiatric network and collaborations with healthcare facilities. The organization delivers comprehensive psychiatric services across emergency departments, inpatient behavioral health units, medical and surgical floors, outpatient clinics, and addiction treatment settings.
Precision’s hybrid care delivery model integrates in-person psychiatric services with telepsychiatry, giving hospitals and healthcare organizations greater flexibility in addressing patient needs.
With Precision now part of the fold, PsychPlus strengthens its ability to support hospitals and health systems grappling with ongoing psychiatric workforce shortages. The combined clinical network creates new opportunities to expand psychiatric coverage, improve patient throughput, strengthen continuity of care, and ease the operational and financial pressures of delivering behavioral health services.
“Becoming part of PsychPlus represents an exciting opportunity to build upon the clinical foundation and trusted partnerships we’ve established throughout California,” said Dr. Abdolreza Saadabadi, Psychiatrist. “Our shared commitment to high-quality psychiatric care, combined with PsychPlus’s technology and national resources, will allow us to better support our physicians, strengthen our hospital relationships, and extend access to patients and communities that need these services most.”
Advancing a Global, Integrated Mental Health Platform
This acquisition follows PsychPlus’s recent purchase of Koa Health, a multinational digital mental health innovator recognized for its evidence-backed digital therapeutics and clinically validated mental health solutions.
Together, these strategic investments push forward PsychPlus’s vision of a multinational, multichannel, integrated mental health platform spanning the full continuum of care.
By merging Koa Health’s digital capabilities, PsychPlus’s technology-enabled clinical infrastructure, and Precision’s established psychiatric network, the organization is constructing a more connected behavioral health ecosystem that covers prevention, early intervention, outpatient psychiatry and therapy, and hospital-based psychiatric care.
The combined PsychPlus and Koa Health organization previously announced a global reach of more than 6 million people across the United States and international markets. The addition of Precision further bolsters the clinical expertise and delivery infrastructure supporting that platform.
“What is particularly exciting about this partnership is the opportunity to improve how we deliver psychiatric care,” said Dr. Michael Serna, Vice President of Inpatient Clinical Services at PsychPlus. “We share a commitment to clinical excellence, physician collaboration, and better patient outcomes. By combining our strengths and building on our existing relationships, we can better support our providers, enhance clinical coordination, and expand access to high-quality psychiatric services.”
Building the Future of Behavioral Healthcare
PsychPlus currently partners with more than 200 hospital systems nationwide, helping organizations expand psychiatric capacity, improve access to specialty care, and strengthen clinical and financial performance.
The acquisition of Precision Psychiatric Services further accelerates the company’s growth strategy, uniting established clinical organizations, innovative technology, and scalable care delivery models to confront some of the most pressing challenges in behavioral healthcare today.
As PsychPlus continues to extend its national and international footprint, the company remains committed to delivering a more connected, accessible, and clinically integrated mental healthcare experience for patients, providers, and health system partners.

About Precision Psychiatric Services
Founded in 2018, Precision Psychiatric Services, Inc. is a California-based, physician-led psychiatric services organization providing comprehensive mental healthcare through hospital partnerships and outpatient settings. Its clinical services include emergency psychiatric consultations, inpatient psychiatric coverage, consultation-liaison psychiatry, outpatient treatment, addiction services, and telepsychiatry. Through its network of psychiatric professionals and hybrid care delivery model, Precision supports healthcare organizations in expanding access to timely, high-quality behavioral healthcare.
Why it matters: This acquisition signals a broader trend of consolidation in behavioral health, where technology platforms are absorbing regional clinical practices to build scale. For hospitals and patients, it means potentially greater access to psychiatric care in a field long plagued by shortages — but it also raises questions about how care quality and local relationships will be maintained as these networks grow.
