On stage, on the record.

What we talk about.

• Why Brain Medicine is still inaccessible to most of the people who need it, and what actually closes the gap
• Insurance coverage as the primary access barrier: how to move payers on treatments they have not caught up to
• Building a national, multi-site clinical network without losing clinical quality
• The prior-authorization burden on TMS and esketamine, what the data shows, and what advocacy has and has not moved
• Accelerated TMS and SAINT: what the trials say and how to deliver them outside academic centers
• Demystifying neuromodulation and psychedelic therapy for general audiences: language, stigma and trust
• Measurement-based care and outcome transparency
• Mentalization-based treatment, physician burnout and self-disclosure
• How health insurance actually works: ERISA, PBMs, Medicare Advantage
• CPT coding and reimbursement for interventional psychiatry: how the codes work, what they pay, where they fail
• Product building for mental health: what clinicians will use and what payers will accept (Carlene)
• Digital flourishing: what a healthy relationship with technology looks like, for teenagers and for adults
• The debates over AI chatbots for therapy, and whether child and adolescent psychiatrists should prescribe them
• Teens, digital media and AI use: psychoeducation, misinformation and contagion
• Why electronic health records will go extinct and be replaced by Agentic Health Records. Carlene is an EHR atheist, not an agnostic.

KOL work, with the disclosures to match.

We take on key opinion leader engagements for pharmaceutical, device and health-technology companies: advisory boards, speaker programs, investigator and field-team training, medical-affairs and MSL engagement, launch and coverage strategy, and on-camera or on-stage education for clinicians and the public. We bring real clinical volume, trial experience and a payer-facing track record, and we say what we think.
