Jeff McCarty RN|BSN|MA
Legal Nurse Consultant | Leadership & Behavioral Health Nursing Consultant | Healthcare Speaker
👋 Meet Jeff McCarty, RN
Behavioral Health Nurse. Legal Nurse Consultant. Leadership Educator.
I'm Jeff McCarty, a registered nurse with over 15 years of clinical and leadership experience in behavioral health and hospice care—and more than 25 years of experience guiding others through some of life’s most critical moments. Today, I help healthcare systems, legal teams, and clinical leaders improve outcomes, reduce risk, and create work environments where both patients and staff can thrive.
From psychiatric hospitals to courtrooms to corporate boardrooms, I bring a rare combination of clinical insight, systems thinking, and compassionate leadership to every setting I serve. I’ve trained hundreds of nurses and behavioral health staff, consulted on high-risk legal cases, and led the development of trauma-informed, retention-driven education for major healthcare organizations.
I’m also a former pastor, a seasoned educator, and a mental health coach—so I don’t just understand policies and metrics.
I understand people.
