Stasia Huiner
Mindpath Health has promoted Chief Operating Officer Stasia Huiner to chief executive officer as the outpatient behavioral health provider continues expanding access to mental health services while focusing on operational scalability and clinical delivery infrastructure.
Huiner, who will also join the company’s board of directors, succeeds Stephen Farber, who is transitioning from CEO to a board role. The company also added Chief Medical Officer Dr. Priyanka to the board, increasing clinical representation at the governance level as Mindpath grows its care delivery network.
The leadership transition comes as outpatient mental health providers face increasing pressure to expand patient access, improve clinician retention and standardize care delivery models amid sustained demand for behavioral health services nationwide.
Mindpath said Huiner has played a central role in strengthening operations, expanding patient access and improving clinician support systems during her tenure as COO. Her appointment signals continued emphasis on operational execution and infrastructure development as the company scales across multiple markets.
Behavioral health providers have increasingly focused on building more disciplined operating models as the sector evolves beyond rapid expansion strategies that dominated earlier telehealth and mental health growth cycles. Companies are now balancing expansion goals with clinician capacity management, reimbursement pressures and the operational complexity of delivering consistent care across distributed outpatient networks.
Huiner brings more than two decades of healthcare leadership experience spanning provider operations and strategy. The company said her work has focused on aligning operational systems, stakeholder coordination and scalable growth initiatives while maintaining clinical standards.
Farber said Huiner has been a key driver of the company’s operational and strategic progress over the past several years and credited her with helping position the organization for its next growth phase.
Mindpath has spent recent years integrating and expanding its outpatient behavioral health operations while attempting to maintain continuity in patient care and clinical quality standards. The company said its recent growth efforts have focused on operational improvement alongside access expansion rather than purely geographic growth.
The addition of Dr. Priyanka to the board also reflects the increasing operational importance of clinical leadership in behavioral health organizations, particularly as providers attempt to standardize evidence-based treatment models across larger provider networks.
The company said Dr. Priyanka has spent more than a decade helping shape Mindpath’s care delivery model and clinician support structure, emphasizing outcomes-driven and patient-centered care.
Mental health providers across the U.S. continue facing elevated demand tied to clinician shortages, reimbursement complexity and growing patient-acuity challenges. Outpatient operators are increasingly investing in workflow optimization, care coordination systems and operational infrastructure intended to improve access without compromising clinical oversight.
Mindpath Health provides outpatient behavioral health services including psychiatry and therapy through a network of clinicians operating across multiple U.S. markets. The company said its strategy remains centered on expanding access to evidence-based mental health care through scalable care delivery models and operational support systems designed to improve both patient and clinician experience.
