Going Beyond The Referral:
Integrating Mental Health and Primary Care
You may have recently seen the research that suggests an integrative care approach but may be unsure about how that would work within your practice. Having a mental health professional in your office may not be a feasible option yet, but partnering with a professional you can trust, could be the next best option. We can work together to form an alliance that makes mental health more accessible to your patients.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to work with individuals, couples, and families. I am also trained to facilitate and create support groups. As a former corporate sales consultant, I understand the need for a tailored approach to collaboration, and I have an acute awareness of best business practices.
I would love the opportunity to sit down with your practice to discuss how this partnership would work best for you and the unique needs of your patients. In doing so, we can go beyond a simple referral and create a system that will best serve you and your practice. Please contact me to schedule some time to meet.
