I am a passionate advocate for mental health, serving as a Clinical Outreach Specialist at Embark Behavioral Health. In my role, I cultivate meaningful relationships with the community to ensure individuals and families find the support they need.With seven years of experience in insurance-based adolescent and young adult mental health and substance abuse treatment, I am deeply committed to supporting families and professionals in navigating their options within the mental health continuum of care. My journey into this field began after overcoming my own debilitating OCD during my adolescent years, sparking my passion for making a difference.Prior to moving into outreach, I served in admissions for over 5 years, overseeing more than 30 different programs. This experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of the mental health landscape, navigating insurance, and the challenges families face when seeking care.I draw inspiration from leaders such as Tara Brach PhD, Gabor Maté MD, Richard Schwartz PhD, Richard Frank Anderson MD, Peter Levine PhD, and Marshall Rosenberg PhD, to name a few!Feel free to reach out to me at Alexander.LeBlanc@embarkbh.com or 443-684-1555
