Social Work
Department: Family Medicine
I’ve been a licensed independent social worker since 2007. Before coming to Ohio State, I worked in community mental health as a case manager and counselor in Columbus, OH. I enjoy working with patients of all ages at our New Albany location. I have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral modification and many other treatment modalities. My areas of clinical interest include primary care behavioral health integration (PCBHI), mental illness and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/3/2025, Dr. Brinkman has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
