Athea brings more than 20 years of experience in mental health to her role as Clinical Director of Employer Services. She partners with legal, financial, and corporate organizations to design and deliver practical, evidence-based mental health solutions that support employee well-being, resilience, and sustained performance in high-pressure, high-accountability environments.

Her expertise includes crisis response, program development, executive and people leadership support, and culturally responsive care, with a strong focus on equity, inclusion, and real-world application. Athea is particularly skilled at translating complex clinical and psychological concepts into clear, actionable strategies that leaders and teams can integrate into day-to-day operations—helping organizations address burnout, secondary trauma, and boundary challenges without disrupting business or client demands.

Before joining Intent Clinical, Athea served as Executive Director at the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where she led large-scale behavioral health initiatives focused on trauma, substance use, and serious mental illness. This systems-level experience informs her pragmatic, risk-aware approach to supporting both individuals and organizations navigating complex, regulated, and fast-paced workplaces.
