Ethos Wellness was founded in 2018, with the goal of expanding mental health access to more communities through small-by-design, conveniently located healing centers, but the story begins back in 2014. As long-time friends and professionals, co-founders Robert Hilliker and Will Davis developed the idea to provide therapists with centrally-located office space and administrative support tailored specifically to their needs. Ethos Wellness – Lovett (formerly known as The Lovett Center) was born in 2014, but it soon became clear that having 20+ therapists with varying specialities under one roof naturally led to collaboration. The two began to focus their efforts on cultivating a space where therapists could collaborate to serve patients. Lovett went on to become the largest group of specialized therapists in the Houston area, named among the Houston Business Journal’s Fast 100, and through this growth came the desire to expand their offerings to include a full continuum of mental health care. Along with fellow mental health professional Ceci Hudson Torn, Hilliker and Davis founded Ethos Behavioral Health Group, a family of healing centers encompassing a residential recovery center in Round Top, Texas called The Prairie, as well as multiple small, specialized and conveniently-located outpatient healing centers throughout Texas and Illinois under the umbrella of Ethos Wellness, including the acquisition of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-based Ethos Wellness – Bellaire (formerly known as The PRISM Center).
