Who we are

Built around healing. Run with purpose.

Most agencies could swap your logo for a roofing company's and not change a word of their process. We couldn't. Behavioral health is the work we built everything around, because it's personal to us.

The founder's story

Before Nava Media, our founder spent years building a career in sales, account management and digital marketing. In 2017, his road to overcoming his own mental health troubles began. He found the healing he needed, and he came out the other side seeing the world differently.

Healing gave him a second life. It also gave him a problem: the work he was already good at didn't mean anything to him anymore. The craft was the same, digital marketing and lead generation, but at every agency he kept noticing one thing: brilliant marketing being spent on industries that didn't matter to him.

The skills belonged somewhere else. They belonged to the field that hands people their lives back.

In 2021, Nava Media was born, a side project that became a calling. Since then we've launched more than 300 campaigns, managed over a million dollars in ad spend, and helped generate more than $10 million in revenue for treatment centers and clinics. We ranked treatment websites through the biggest shift search has ever seen, the rise of AI answers, and built ImpactEngine AI so centers of any size could afford the infrastructure the big brands use.

As we grew, something became clear. The clients we did our best work with, and loved working with most, all shared a shape. Heart-led first. Sharp. Competitive. Running programs that were genuinely exceptional. So we made a choice about who Nava is here for.

We built Nava around you.

The mission hasn't moved an inch: marketing in this space should create connection, trust, and access to care. Every campaign we run is judged by one number that matters more than ROAS: how many families found help because of it.

01 The road here

A timeline that explains everything.

2017

The turning point

Our founder's road to overcoming his own mental health troubles begins. He finds the healing he needed, and the lens through which Nava sees this industry becomes personal, permanent, and non-negotiable.

2017–2020

The apprenticeship

Years inside agencies and growth teams, mastering paid media, SEO and funnel-building for other people's industries, and quietly realizing where those skills actually belonged.

2021

Nava Media is born

What starts as a side project serving a handful of treatment centers becomes a full-time calling within the year.

2021–2024

300+ campaigns

Over $1M in managed ad spend. More than $10M in client revenue generated. Treatment websites ranked in the most competitive markets in the country.

2024

ImpactEngine AI

We build our own platform: CRM, automation, AI voice agents, review engines. World-class admissions infrastructure stops being a luxury reserved for national brands with it.

Today

The AI search era

Families now ask ChatGPT before they ask Google. We optimize for both, and our clients get found in places their competitors don't know exist yet.

02 What we believe

Four things we refuse to compromise.

01

Mission before margin

We measure success in admissions and outcomes, not vanity metrics. If a tactic fills a report but not a bed, we kill it.

02

Depth over breadth

Treatment centers and outpatient mental health are where we live. Every insight from every campaign compounds for every client we serve.

03

Dignity in every word

The people clicking our ads are in the worst week of their lives. We write like it. No fear-mongering, no dark patterns, no shame.

04

Radical accountability

Every dollar traced. Every admit sourced. You'll always know exactly what your marketing did, and didn't do.

03 Why specialization matters

Specialization isn't a tagline. It's a head start.

Fluent

in your world. We already know your payers, your levels of care, your compliance constraints, and your admissions math.

Day 1

productivity. No agency onboarding where you teach them what PHP means or why LegitScript certification exists. We start where generalists finish.

0

mindset. Crisis doesn't keep business hours, and neither does the infrastructure we build: AI agents, instant follow-up, always-on campaigns.
