Barbara Jensen, CACI
“Treatment Partner/Case Manager”
Barbara works as a consultant to R A Oddy MD Psychiatry LLC, to help integrate your treatment goals into your life goals.

Barbara’s approach is casual, but very effective and relevant, and she works primarily in parallel and to complement Dr. Oddy or Ryan Scarborough or an office therapist and is more likely to meet you in the community, your home or even a coffee shop! She works to help us by helping you plan lifestyle changes that work for you, help you envision realistic and attainable lifestyle goals, and support your progress during weekly (or more or less frequent) one-on-one appointments. She helps you prioritize your health, begin new self-care activities and work through roadblocks. She can help you enhance mindfulness and relaxation and find a meditative practice that works for you. Barbara will work with you to organize your schedule, talk through budgets and bills, explore support groups together, help you stay on track with your medications and appointments.

Team-based integrated approach
Addiction and Mental Health

Many patients have co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. They benefit from psychiatric evaluation and then a comprehensive plan directed towards both the psychiatric diagnoses and substance use disorders. Usually this involves medications for the psychiatric illness, psychotherapy/counseling, either individually or also with a family or couple, and sometimes community based treatment partnering if a patient is struggling to the degree that managing to take care of themselves enough to get to appointments and stay on top of medications or manage to avoid relapse are hard between sessions. Usually either your current therapist or one of the therapists in the practice will work with Dr. Oddy and possibly Barbara Jensen, the “Community Treatment Partner/Case Manager” as a larger treatment team to help you be successful.
