Debbie Ghavami
Co-Founder
Debbie Ghavami
As a co-founder of Healing TREE and the mother to the Founder, whose experience with trauma and subsequent healing was the catalyst for this organization, Debbie knows firsthand the nightmare and devastation trauma can cause. Having witnessed the destruction her daughter was left to heal from, Debbie was not only determined to get her daughter the proper help she needed in order to fully heal but was also determined to make a difference. Debbie’s constant plea became, “Help me to help my daughter!”
Debbie heavily immersed herself in researching and talking with experts across the United States in order to understand how to heal from such trauma and to identify the best treatment for her daughter’s healing. Many of these contacts have contributed to the wealth of knowledge that can be found on Healing TREE’s website.
Prior to the family’s devastation, ensuing healing and her interest in advocacy, Debbie’s professional career has included being a Buyer and Manager for an upscale woman’s shoe and clothing store, a Cosmetic Manager, and a Director of Event Planning at a four star restaurant. Currently, Debbie holds a Kentucky Real Estate license, on occasion assists her restaurateur husband, Majid, during special events at his restaurant, and started working part time in cosmetics again.
Debbie is so grateful and proud of her daughter’s fortitude, in not only healing, but in starting Healing TREE. Today mother and daughter continue to work together to help all those whose plea is, “Help me to help………!”

Board of Directors
Bruce Perkins
Chairman, Board of Directors
Bruce Perkins
On January 1, 2015, Bruce became the Strategic Executive for MCCI Group Holdings, L.L.C., a $1.3B physician services company based in Miami, FL. Bruce works directly with the CEO, COO, and CFO to formulate strategy, provide financial planning advice, and to assist senior leaders with tactical plan implementation.
On December 31, 2014, Bruce retired from Humana after a thirty-eight year career. Prior to retirement he served as President of Humana’s $20B Healthcare Services Segment. The Segment included Humana Pharmacy Solutions, Provider Services, Concentra, Home Care Services, Behavioral Health, Clinical Operations, Clinical Analytics, and Provider Contracting. Bruce was a member of Humana’s Management Team, which developed the company’s strategy and oversaw its tactical execution.
Bruce’s career with Humana began in 1976 and over the last 38 years he worked in multiple financial and operational leadership positions – including CFO, COO, and CEO of the company’s flagship hospital, and as the leader of Humana’s Florida Region hospitals. Once the company spun off its hospital business, Bruce served as regional vice president and divisional president for Humana health plans across multiple markets.
Beginning in 1999 he led Humana’s national provider network, the nation’s largest network of providers serving Medicare beneficiaries. In 2007, Bruce assumed responsibility for Humana’s newly acquired behavioral health entity CorpHealth (now LifeSynch), and in 2008 he assumed responsibility for clinical operations and the pharmacy business. Bruce oversaw the growth of Humana’s pharmacy business into the fourth-largest Pharmacy Benefit Manager in the U.S. In 2010, he led the acquisition of Pfizer Health’s interest in Green Ribbon Health, a complex care management Joint Venture. Green Ribbon Health was insourced and re-named HumanaCares, which provided the telephonic component of Humana’s chronic care management platform.
In 2012, Bruce led the acquisition of SeniorBridge, a company which provided in-home care management and care giving for senior citizens. The merger of SeniorBridge and HumanaCares created “Humana At Home”, the largest nationwide provider of home based care management and care giving, serving over 550,000 individuals across 42 states.
Bruce also led the joint venture investments in JenCare, which operates 25 senior focused health care centers in 5 cities; MCCI, Humana’s largest MSO serving 150,000 members in four states; and the acquisition of Metropolitan Health Network, a Florida based MSO.
The combination of these assets and capabilities plus their subsequent growth created Humana’s Health Care Services Segment, which grew to more than $20B in revenue and $750M in pre-tax profit in 2014.
In addition to his MCCI responsibilities, Bruce serves as a strategic advisor and executive coach for ChenMed, a Florida based MSO (and is the parent company of JennCare). Bruce serves on the Advisory Board of the University of Louisville College of Business and previously served as: chairman of the board of MCCI Group Holdings; a board member of Humana Health Plan of Puerto Rico; treasurer of the American Association of PPOs (AAPPO). Previous Civic commitments include Chairing the finance committee of the Board of the Louisville Zoological Foundation; membership on the Board of the March of Dimes and numerous fund raising roles for the Arts, the Humane Society, and the University of Louisville. Bruce holds a bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of Louisville.

Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, REAT, RMT
Jamie Marich’s friends and colleagues describe her as a renaissance woman. A dancer, musician, performer, writer, clinical counselor, and registered expressive arts therapist, Marich unites these elements of her experience to achieve an ultimate mission: bringing the art and joy of healing to others. Marich’s career in counseling and human services began while she worked in Bosnia-Hercegovina from 2000-2003. While in Bosnia, Marich served as an English and music teacher, in addition to working freelance for other humanitarian aid projects.
Marich, currently working in private practice after obtaining many years of experience in inpatient mental health, inpatient chemical dependency, and outpatient dual diagnosis treatment, travels the country for several professional continuing education providers, offering instruction on a variety of clinical topics. Jamie is the author of five books: EMDR Made Simple (2011), Trauma and the Twelve Steps (2012), Creative Mindfulness (2013), and Trauma Made Simple (2014), and her latest book, Dancing Mindfulness: A Creative Path to Healing and Transformation, which was released in the Fall of 2015 (SkylightPaths Publishing). Jamie was interviewed as a master clinician in the DVD, Trauma Treatment: Psychotherapy for the 21st Century (2012) alongside icons like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Robert Scaer, and Belleruth Naparstek. Jamie had the privilege of offering trauma recovery retreats at the Kripalu School for Yoga & Health in the Fall of 2012, at the Esalen Institute in the Spring of 2013 and Winter of 2014, and at Amrit Yoga Institute in Salt Springs, Florida in the Fall of 2015 and 2016. In 2015, Marich launched her own EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Therapy training curriculum and now enjoys training a new generation of EMDR clinicians alongside her collaborative faculty members (and friends) Amber Stiles-Bodnar and Dr. Stephen Dansiger. Marich and Dansiger are working collaboratively on a book EMDR Therapy & Mindfulness for Trauma Focused Care, due out with Springer Publishing later in 2016.
Jamie strives to incorporate music and other forms of creative expression into her practice. As her career developed, Marich’s love for experience-oriented methods of healing and trauma resolution intensified, prompting her to explore the conscious dance scene and various ways of applying these wonderful, “come as you are” practices into the healing process. Having completed several trainings and experiencing other conscious dance practices at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts, Marich was encouraged and inspired to develop her own, unique practice, which now exists in the form of Dancing Mindfulness. To date, Marich has taught conscious dance seminars at various conferences nationally and internationally and has trained more than 170 facilitators in the Dancing Mindfulness practice. She completed her Reiki Master teacher training in the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of Reiki under Master Valerie Spitaler. Marich is a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT) through the International Association of Expressive Arts Therapists and offers a full certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy through her Institute for Creative Mindfulness. Trained in several modalities of recovery and trauma-informed yoga, Marich recently launched the Yoga Unchained method of trauma-informed yoga with Jessica Sowers.
