Blue Team Providers
David Bauman, PsyD
Behavioral Health Education Director – Blue Team
Health is not an absence of symptoms but an engagement in a meaningful, fulfilling life. I am drawn to primary care in order to meet people where they are, and provide behavioral health services to patients that would never seek care in a traditional setting.
Allison Breda, DO
I aspire to always remember the patient as a whole – especially when it comes to human behavior, the importance of motivation and cooperation, and the interconnectedness of mental and physical health.
Britton Holman, MA

I have always wanted to work in a true integrated health system. CHCW does that, and much more, especially with the integration of the medical residency program and the psychology internship program.

Carrah James, PhD
Behavioral Health Consultant – Blue Team
I aspire to learn, to listen, to understand, to inspire and to be inspired, to be still and to make good trouble, to be bravely vulnerable, to confront and talk about and do hard things, to honor the people and places.

In my mind, taking care of a patient involves getting to know someone deeper and building enough trust in order to start peeling back the ‘layers of the onion.’ In other words, I enjoy understanding where a patient is coming from.
