Care Coordination, Social Work, and Patient Advocacy in Indianapolis, IN
Navigating the mental healthcare system shouldn't be harder than the condition itself.
I am the Case Manager and Lead Care Coordinator at In Focus First in Indianapolis. My role is to bridge the gap between clinical treatment and patient reality. I work directly alongside Dr. Olaniyi Osuntokun and Jessica Walsh, PMHNP, ensuring that our patients are not just "seen," but fully supported.
In a healthcare landscape defined by 15-minute visits and automated phone trees, I provide the human connection. I specialize in Mental Health Case Management, helping patients navigate the complexities of insurance verification, prior authorizations, and the logistics of advanced metabolic testing (including GeneSight® and DUTCH testing).
Whether you are seeking treatment for ADHD, Treatment-Resistant Depression, or Metabolic Psychiatry, my job is to remove the administrative barriers so you can focus entirely on healing.
My Professional Focus:
- Patient Advocacy: Ensuring your voice is heard in the treatment plan.
- Resource Navigation: Connecting patients with community resources and therapeutic networks.
- Clinical Coordination: Managing the flow between medical psychiatry and functional integration.
