Engage - Empower - Inspire

Welcome to Palomarin Consulting, where we help rising leaders in behavioral health develop the necessary skills to be successful in today's dynamic mental health field. 

About Palomarin Consulting

We’re two seasoned behavioral health leaders with a shared passion: helping rising leaders thrive.

We’ve been where you are—newly promoted, eager to make a difference, and with limited formal training to navigate the challenges of leading people and managing at an organizational level. Like many, we had to learn by trial and error, often struggling to find answers and consistent support in a fast-paced environment.

Over time, we honed our skills, built strong reputations at a large HMO, and became known as approachable, results-driven leaders who could inspire diverse teams. As we tried to mentor others though, we saw too many talented managers left to sink or swim due to a lack of consistent support.

That’s why we founded Palomarin Consulting—to fill that gap. We’re dedicated to equipping emerging behavioral health leaders with the tools, mindset, and strategies they need for long-term success.

Our Expertise

We bring a combined 30 years of leadership experience in the behavioral health field in both nonprofit and for profit settings.

We have mentored and developed countless employees and new leaders, helping many become successful leaders.

We successfully built several evidence based mental health assessment and treatment programs.

Services

We cater to new leaders in behavioral health and organizations seeking to develop top-tier behavioral health leaders. We offer group and individual leadership development programs to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed for long-term leadership success.

A four-month, small-group experience designed to help new and aspiring leaders build confidence, clarity, and capacity in their roles.

Through twice-monthly Zoom sessions, you’ll engage in a blend of interactive learning and personalized coaching that addresses the real-world challenges leaders face in behavioral health settings. We’ll explore essential topics like self-awareness, sustainable leadership practices, building strong teams, navigating conflict, fostering alignment, and managing change—always through the lens of clinical leadership.

This program offers a supportive space to grow alongside peers, deepen your leadership toolkit, and lead with intention, resilience, and impact.
