Please join us in congratulating our Director of Clinical Services, Brina Tiemeyer for being named to Crain's Grand Rapids Business 4o under 40! 👏 👏 👏 "As the director of clinical services at Wedgwood Christian Services, an organization that provides mental and behavioral health services, Brina Tiemeyer specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals who have suffered trauma. Her guidance has produced results that are positively affecting both the organization and the community alike. She manages and supervises a clinical team of 24 master’s-level clinicians, two recovery coaches, four case managers, and two-parent support partners. She played an integral role in changing the way services are delivered to clients who have experienced trauma so the organization can be effective in the services it offers. Tiemeyer helped to integrate clinical caseloads, increase the hybridization of location service delivery, and decrease the lack of engagement or no-show rates by 46%. She collaborated with her team to create individualized treatment programs that decreased clinical symptomatology and generated a 100% reduction in symptoms among clients who attended at least 10 therapy sessions. Tiemeyer also created training programs while enhancing clinical supervision protocols, contributing to an increase in staff retention rates by 50%. In addition to her work at Wedgwood, Tiemeyer also is an adjunct professor at Western Michigan University and Grand Valley State University. As a first-generation college graduate, she knows the value of a college degree in her profession. “Accomplishing this degree was foundational in the trajectory of my professional achievements,” she said."
