After realizing the ongoing need for more accessible mental health care and high-quality treatment, she moved into program development and quality management.

Most recently prior to Carencia, she helped build a behavioral health telehealth program, delivering therapy and psychiatry services to patients across the country.
At Carencia, her focus is on everything “behind the care”, including administration, quality management, and business growth. Keirschen’s favorite quote that she lives and works by is “Good is expected. Going beyond expectations is Excellence”
