Authentic Evolution Consulting is a behavioral health systems consulting practice supporting organizations, big and small, at moments of growth, change, and transition. Founded by Farina Brown, the practice brings together experience across policy, program design, leadership development, and systems-level implementation. Our work focuses on helping organizations translate mission into sustainable programs.

Our approach reflects a belief that effective systems work begins with understanding context. Drawing on experience across direct service, program operations, and policy-level work, we walk alongside organizations to align strategy, culture, and implementation in ways that hold up in practice.

We work with mission-driven organizations across behavioral health and related systems, including nonprofits, for-profits, public agencies, and emerging initiatives. Our partners are often navigating growth, transition, or increased complexity and are seeking thoughtful, grounded support.

We support organizations with:

• Medicaid program design and operational development

• Policy analysis and strategic alignment

• Facilitation and stakeholder engagement

• Grant strategy and proposal development

• Leadership development and capacity-building
