Matt Shofner, Partner at Havencrest Capital Management, also commented, "With the rapidly-growing demand for mental health services across the country, outpatient mental health has been a subsector of immense interest for us. Our partnership with Deep Eddy and DCTC signifies our commitment to addressing this pressing need.
