I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master CASAC with over 25 years of clinical experience in behavioral health settings, and over 14 years as an executive leader of progressive mental health treatment programs. In 1997 I earned a Bachelor of Psychology degree from Denison University, and in 2008 I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Fordham University, majoring in Client-Centered Management and earning Summa cum laude honors. I’ve also carried licenses in New Jersey as an LSW, and California as an LCSW. In 2015, through my organization’s clinical affiliation with Hazelden Betty Ford, I trained with the renowned behavioral health consulting group, The Studer Group, and also attended Psychological Associates Leadership Training Institute. In 2019 I began my journey into private practice with June Health, and in 2022 I launched Brendan Kavanaugh Therapy, Coaching, & Consulting.
