@lauraromano
Experienced behavioral health case manager specializing in crisis intervention and admissions.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced behavioral health case manager and admissions specialist with a demonstrated history of working across inpatient, correctional, community, and telehealth settings. I have led high-volume admissions, managed large and diverse caseloads, and coordinated care for individuals with mental health disorders, developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders.
My background includes roles in corrections, inpatient behavioral health, clinical research recruitment, and community support where I achieved streamlined admissions processes, supported positive treatment outcomes, and participated in re-entry and discharge planning for large facilities. I bring strong crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, and multidisciplinary collaboration skills.
I am committed to person-centered care, safety, and measurable outcomes, and I seek opportunities where I can apply my clinical coordination, patient advocacy, and case management expertise to support a people-focused healthcare team.
