Top-tier Austin-based mental health practice specializing in Holistic and Interventional Psychiatry

Austin, TX (February 22, 2024) – Hightop Health, a premier outpatient mental health platform, today announced the acquisition of Roots Behavioral Health.

Roots Behavioral Health (RBH) was founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Brent Turnipseed, MD, and Andrea Turnipseed, LCSW-S, to address a pressing need for affordable and accessible behavioral health care in the Austin area.

With a model unique from other mental health practices, RBH brings a truly comprehensive approach to patient care by offering various evidence-based treatment modalities under one roof—including ketamine therapy, psychotherapy, and medication management. Dr. Turnipseed is also on the forefront of holistic psychiatry, wherein RBH offers a proprietary Brain Health Assessment and protocols to treat the whole person and offer lasting healing. In addition to receiving Austin’s fastest growing company recognition award multiple times, RBH’s staff consistently earns patient satisfaction ratings of 4.7/5 or higher among thousands of patient surveys.

We’re proud to share that our three affiliated practices—Psych Atlanta, Georgia Psychiatry & Sleep, and Roots Behavioral Health—are now part of the Hightop Health family. While each clinic has built its own legacy of trusted care, we’re taking the next step forward—bringing everything together under the Hightop Health name.

This change is part of our commitment to creating a premier, clinician-led outpatient mental health group that sets a new standard for comprehensive, compassionate care. Though the brand is evolving, nothing about your experience is: same expert teams, same innovative treatments, same personalized approach. Now unified by a single mission—to deliver better mental health care that inspires hope and lasting healing.

This transition won’t affect your care—but it will enhance the way we show up, work together, and serve communities across Georgia, Texas, and beyond.
