Meet your Consultant
I’m Lauren Torres Funiestas, LMFT #121004 - a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and standards of care consultant with over 19 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My career includes direct service in forensic community mental health, private practice ownership, clinical supervision and organizational leadership in the behavioral health field.
My expertise is in maintaining the standards of care for clients, clincians and systems involved in caring for individual and collective mental health.
my services are designed for:
-
You are the executive director of a non profit organization with a mental health department where human and financial resources are lean and dependent. Let me help you take off some of those hats you’re wearing - specifically, the one around mental health associate training and development. I can train your staff on confidentiality, documentation and create an audit ready system that will protect your agency and associates. Or we can do role plays and learn how to conceptualize interventions into documentation. Your call.
-
Or maybe you own a group private practice and its literally, just you. Let me experience your onboarding process and I’ll help identify areas where we can create less work and more efficiency. Together, we’ll create an operations manual, employee handbook and a documentation training video so everything is rinse and repeat.
-
Or are you an attorney that works with individuals involved in the mental health field? Whether its a provider or a client, there’s always documentation involved. Let me review, analyze and document my findings for you so that you can spend time dong what you do best - practicing law and advocating for your clients. I can review your client’s medical records and provide insights into the narrative or design a training for your firm on how trauma impacts the human experience. Think of me as a translator of behavioral health language so that you can communicate it in a legal setting.ription text goes here
