Aubree Lovelace, LMFT

With nearly 20 years of experience providing direct care and support to individuals experiencing chronic and acute mental illness, involvement in the justice system, and unsheltered homelessness, Aubree Lovelace is deeply committed to person-centered, field-based service delivery. Throughout her career, she has specialized in engaging individuals with complex needs through best-practice interventions that prioritize dignity, safety, and recovery.

Over the last decade, she has been instrumental in program development and design, as well as policy change and implementation, within the largest public mental health system in the country. Working across Los Angeles County, she has built extensive experience in coordinating and collaborating with homeless outreach systems, law enforcement, the carceral system, and behavioral health field and crisis teams. Her work has focused on bridging gaps between mental health services and the justice system through diversion efforts, crisis response, and support for individuals at risk of or undergoing involuntary hospitalization.

Grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by compassion, she continues to advocate for systemic collaboration and innovative approaches that reduce barriers to care for some of the county’s most vulnerable residents. The creation of LM Care Strategies affords Aubree the opportunity to  share the breadth of her experience to others hoping to be change makers.

Daniel Mansfield specializes in high-risk crisis intervention, innovative field-based mental health care, and the operational design of complex behavioral health programs. He is passionate about crisis intervention and involuntary hospitalization approaches that provide a safer and more effective alternative to traditional  approaches.

In his current role leading a street psychiatry program, Daniel oversees a broad multidisciplinary workforce and guides service delivery, program policy, and coordination between and within mental health and social service entities. He has worked in intensive community-based programs and in law-enforcement co-response, providing direct service in complex and high-risk cases and coordinating care across institutions that often operate in parallel rather than together. This experience reinforced the importance of presence, persistence, and responsibility when serving people most vulnerable to system failures and informed his approach to building structures that support consistent, accountable service delivery at scale.

Having worked in multiple states, Daniel has a perspective on how different mental health and crisis systems are arranged and where they face operational challenges. His consulting and training work helps agencies implement new strategies to improve mental health services and crisis response systems in ways that are safer, more responsible, and more effective.
