My short term goal is to re-enter my career in Mental Health and my long term goal is to earn my doctoral degree. Recently I took time to reflect upon my past experiences, my education, and interests, as well as my strengths and weaknesses. This healthy exploration solidified numerous things such as my resolve to specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, renew my licensure, and my intent to work in a specialized treatment facility or in a private office; in contrast to positions in which clinicians provide in home services to their clients. My strongest preference and greatest strength is clinical evaluation. As a clinical evaluator, I was decisive and successful with prescribing treatment for clinicians to implement. My evaluations had to meet criteria for medical necessity, adhere stringently to managed care and regulatory mandates as well as be effectively communicated for service authorization and appropriate clinical implementation. I facilitated meetings with managed care to discuss the presenting problem, synopsis of progress, diagnosis, and prescribed treatment. My evaluations were recognized by managed care and behavioral health agencies as detail oriented, succinct, relevant and clinically sound. Managed care rated my evaluations at 97% based upon their criteria for quality evaluations. Behavioral health organizations expressed satisfaction with the depth and breadth of my clinical evaluations by consistently adding new evaluations to my schedule as well as re-evaluations previously completed by other evaluators. Agencies/organizations stated that my evaluations were of benefit to all parties.I am a proven leader and educator based upon feedback from clients/patients, colleagues, supervisors, and treatment providers as well as others. I am accountable, responsible, and have a solid work ethic. Competency, efficiency, and quality service delivery is of utmost importance to me in my career.
