"Beth was amazing, her professionalism, personality, and sheer knowledge of documentation and utilization review were top notch. We had the pleasure of getting a full 8 hours of training and the clinical team was so very grateful. I would highly recommend Clearly Clinical's services to all working in the treatment of Mental Health and Substance Abuse field. Beth took the time to study where the most help was needed and really was able to create a plan individualized for our center."

—Joshua Moore Director of Utilization Review at the Gooden Center, August, 2022

“Beth Irias is such a pleasure to work with! Her clinical expertise, professional training background, and mastery of technology and complex clinical regulations make her the perfect trainer to guide our profession through these difficult times. She presented for us recently at our 2020 NAADAC Virtual Conference and also provided a webinar for us earlier this year. She works hard to prepare with both historical and current research, helping the learner understand the context and importance of the topic she presents.”

—Samson Teklemariam, LPC, CPTM Director of Training & Professional Development at NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals, October, 2020

“I recently completed Elizabeth's documentation class at the recommendation of my clinical supervisor; I'm a G3 in the Clinical PsyD program at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Irvine.  I'm a ‘recovering documentation novel-writer,’ out of anxiety that I'm going to have to stand tall before 'the man' and explain my processes and procedures.  Elizabeth's class will likely save me years off my life by the time I'm done because of increases in my efficiency. Thank you, Elizabeth.”

—Adam Thomas, PsyD Student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, August, 2020

“Beth is incredible! I have had the pleasure of working with her for years in different capacities. Beth teaches clinical documentation and medical necessity in a truly magnificent way. Her ability to connect with a variety of treatment team members to help connect the dots between direct patient care back to the clinical record is inspiring. Each time I have worked with Beth, myself and the teams I work with are better off. We have seen higher engagement, less stress related to clinical documentation, and even better - excitement about completing that documentation! She challenges clinicians to think in a way that allows them to connect to their documentation in a more intentional way. If you have the opportunity to work with Beth, please don’t miss it!”

—Holly Blazar, Director Of Revenue Management at Origins Behavioral HealthCare, February, 2020

"Beth provided a training for my clinical team and Utilization Review team this fall. The training was excellent, engaging, and she has an unbelievable way of making what could be a dry topic fun and interactive. She created excitement and enthusiasm in my team where there was once overwhelm and stress. Beth truly has an expertise that anyone in the mental health field can benefit from. Her knowledge crosses over from Mental Health and clinical documentation to billing and Utilization Review - with a dash of law and ethics! Our UR team will certainly be utilizing her for further consultation!"

—Jessica Breton, Executive Director at Optimum Performance Institute, December 2019

“I think what Beth does, and how she does it, is perfect. The way she presents her training is so informative. She comes in relating to everyone from all points, and only provides insight on how they can grow to be the best they can be, while giving them views from all angles whether its insurance, UR, or the law. These are all points I have tried very hard to bring to Benchmark’s staff, however, I think is some instances, it is best to hear it coming from an outside source that can relate to their end of things. I had all great feedback from everyone who attended, which by the way, I have never heard them rant how good a training was before, so that speaks volumes.”

—Patti Rudolf, Director of Utilization Review at Benchmark Transitions, November 2018

“After 40 years in practice, I finally know what should be in my clinical documentation. Beth’s presentation was the clearest and most comprehensive explanation of what information should be included in our notes and why, that I’ve heard. I appreciated that she focused more on content than on format. All mental health clinicians should hear this presentation, and I’ve been telling my colleagues what I’ve learned.”

—Monica Blauner, President of the California Society of Clinical Social Work, L.A., July 2018

“Beth has a fund of knowledge in the field of behavioral health that is only matched by her perceptiveness, quick mind and a pragmatic ability to make good solid recommendations. I found her to be collaborative, respectful and I took away many great suggestions for optimizing our agency’s clinical forms within our electronic medical record that we have already implemented to great effect. She has a very accessible teaching method and style. In my role as a clinical director, I consider her to be an invaluable resource!”

—Dr. Thomas Wood, Clinical Director at Nexus Recovery Services, March 2018

“I had Beth Irias come and do a training for my staff in June and I was thrilled! She was professional, yet approachable, and helped to educate all clinical members on documentation practices. The information she presented was clear and concise and she was open to all questions from my staff. I would hire her again and will likely do so regularly to advise on legal and ethical issues.”

—Carolyn Hall, Owner of Roundtable Counseling, July 2018

“Your presentation on clinical documentation & Best Practice was popularly received and reviewed by the participants at Ventura County California Association of Marriage and Family Therapist at our February 2018 meeting. Your presentation on clinical documentation was excellent, and it was evident that you'd put in a lot of time and effort to make the topic interesting and even a little fun and humorous. Our members have asked that you be invited back next year for a 3-hour CEU presentation. Your expertise on the topic matched with your engaging presentation style provided us with essential state-of-business knowledge, and we'd recommend your work to other organizations looking to improve their practices."

—Corliss Porter, VP of Programming for CAMFT Ventura County, March 2018

Her acumen, and masterful understanding of the utilization review process, is unmatched in the addiction treatment industry.

Her ability to connect quickly and determine the needs of our program were very helpful and gave us great confidence in her ability to assist us.

—Evan Amarni, CEO/Exec. Director at Multi Concept Recovery, September 2017

“I had the opportunity to hear Elizabeth Irias speak on Clinical Documentation. She was an excellent speaker and so well versed on the subject that I decided to have a personal consultation and found it to be very beneficial. Based on the consultation, I was able to able to advocate for several clients whose insurance company had previously denied continued treatment. Elizabeth gave me a new perspective on what insurance companies are looking for, the laws protecting our clients and the language to communicate those needs."

—Sara Rector, Therapist at Circle of Life Counseling Center, November 2017
