Caring Career Spotlight: Courtney, Account Executive

Courtney joined Elara Caring in September 2025 as an account executive, helping grow behavioral health home care services throughout the Chicago market. As the Tinley Park branch continues to expand, she has built strong relationships with community partners and leaders to help connect more patients with the mental health resources they need.

For Courtney, this work is deeply personal.

“Mental health is health, and it’s incredibly meaningful to be part of an organization committed to providing more access, more resources and more care to our communities,” she shared.

Before joining Elara Caring, Courtney spent nearly 15 years working in the cancer community. Throughout her career, one thing has remained constant: helping people find peace of mind during difficult times. When the opportunity to join Elara Caring came along, she knew it aligned with both her professional experience and her passion for helping others.

“As a cycle-breaker in my own family, this work resonates on a profound level,” Courtney said. “I couldn’t help but see a future that allowed me to bring my authenticity, my unique set of skills and my personality into the possibility of helping others find a little light during some very dark times.”

She said what she appreciates most about working at Elara Caring is the culture of collaboration and support. She values working alongside teammates and leaders who encourage innovation, celebrate successes and genuinely care for one another both professionally and personally.

“There’s a shared commitment to excellence without sacrificing work-life balance,” she said.

Some of the moments that mean the most to Courtney are helping patients overcome barriers to care, particularly Spanish-speaking individuals who may have difficulty accessing mental health services. Helping patients is what continues to motivate her.

“Helping bridge those gaps and ensuring patients feel seen, heard and supported is something I carry with me every day.”
