About Me

Cassidy Lekan, LISW-S, LCSW, LICDC

I am a mission-driven behavioral health executive with 14+ years of experience transforming organizations, expanding access to care, and delivering high-impact substance use disorder and mental health services. My career has been built at the intersection of clinical excellence, operational strategy, and compassionate leadership—and I bring the same passion, urgency, and accountability to every organization and community I serve.

I’ve led large-scale behavioral health programs across residential, outpatient, and crisis systems, managed multimillion-dollar budgets, secured major funding investments, and built cross-functional teams that are both high-performing and deeply human-centered. Whether I’m standing up new programs, integrating behavioral health into primary care, or leading system-wide change, my focus is always the same: remove barriers, elevate quality, and create environments where recovery is possible and dignity is non-negotiable.

I’m known for building trust quickly, moving work forward with clarity and momentum, and bringing data, empathy, and strategy to the same table. My leadership style is hands-on, transparent, and values-driven—rooted in trauma-informed practice and culturally responsive care.

If you’re looking for a leader who doesn't just manage systems, but elevates them—who builds teams, expands access, and drives measurable change—I’m ready to get started.
