2024 will be my 44nd year in the behavioral health field, I started out in a variety of roles- mental health tech, case manager, social worker, and therapist- and later moved to the business side of care. Since then, I’ve held regional and national positions in business development. utilization review, admissions, denials/ appeals and contracting. My current role is VP of Payer Engagement, Growth & Strategy at Lifestance Health. Payer Engagement can be described as contracting, but to me it is much more. Working with payers to support the overall wellness needs of their subscribers is key. The development of relationships, quality of care initiatives and building a foundation of trust is at the core of what I do .
