Why It Matters
Treatment Advocacy Center terminated its lobbying contract with Corcoran Strategies Group LLC, according to a filing signed Aug. 12.
By the Numbers
Corcoran Strategies Group LLC had been the Treatment Advocacy Center's primary lobbying representative, handling the organization's advocacy on mental health policy issues since the third quarter of 2025. The firm charged $10,000 in the third quarter of 2025, then increased its fees to $15,000 per quarter for the fourth quarter of 2025 through the second quarter of 2026.
The termination represents a significant shift for an organization that had been actively engaged in federal advocacy around barriers to treatment for severe mental illness. The organization simultaneously engaged Guide Consulting Services Inc. in the second quarter of 2025 at a filing amount of $10,000, and also brought on Tulipifera Strategies LLC during the same period for an additional $10,000 filing. However, the organization terminated its engagement with Guide Consulting Services Inc. on July 30, 2025, leaving Corcoran Strategies Group LLC and Tulipifera Strategies LLC as its two lobbying representatives for most of the past year.
