Jennifer Carpenter

Jennifer serves as the Chief Operating Officer for D’Amore Healthcare and has 16+ years of experience working in the recovery field. She is a Certified Treatment Executive (CTE) and holds credentials in the behavioral health field, including certifications as a Qualified Mental Health Specialist and a Certified Admissions and Marketing Specialist with CCAPP. Before landing at D’Amore Healthcare, Jennifer worked for a local nonprofit organization as the Financial Administrator before finding her true passion in Admissions. Jennifer’s own personal journey has led her to want to help others struggling with mental health and substance abuse and allows her to be the point of contact with individuals and their families looking to start their recovery.

Jennifer is responsible for making sure that clients are aware of the individual care they will receive while at D’Amore Healthcare, the screening and assessment prior to admission, and following through with the patient’s intake from start to finish, including discharge planning. Jennifer strongly believes that “your present circumstances don’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start.”
