Joan Whisenant – Client Care Specialist

Hey there! I’m the Client Care Coordinator for The Abundant Life Institute (TALI). I handle all things administrative for the office. My main focus is to help first-time inquirers determine if TALI is right for them, and then, if needed, to match them up with the provider who would be a good fit for their needs. I also assist our clients with scheduling, billing, insurance, etc.. I have other responsibilities, but these are the main things I manage.

I have worked at TALI since 2021, after being out of the workforce for over 25 years. During those 25 years, I learned how important mental health is through my time as a caregiver to several family members, the mom of a physically disabled child, and my struggles. I know intimately how vital it is to have safe, nonjudgmental, and caring people and places, especially when making that first phone call or contact.

I hope that I, and the other admin staff, will be that caring, non-judgmental person to all inquirers and clients and that each office/location will be that safe space, a safe place where all will find healing and hope for the whole person – body, soul, and spirit.
