Ted Guastello

Chief Executive Officer, National

Since joining AMFM Healthcare in 2020 as our Chief Strategy Officer, Ted has worked to bring our unique and innovative clinical model into new communities, including within Washington and Virginia, two states in critical need of mental health resources. Additionally, in 2020 when our industry needed to pivot, Ted saw the broader need and helped develop Mission Connection, our telehealth platform in order to help bridge the care gap and continue serving our clients during this critically important time. Mission Connection now treats clients in California, Oregon, Washington and Texas with plans to continue expanding. Most recently, Mission Connection has started working with adolescents in California. Ted’s latest accomplishment is laying the foundation to open Mission Prep, our new adolescent residential program opening in early 2023. Having over a decade of experience in the adolescent behavioral health space gives him a unique perspective to understand the needed clinical foundation and qualities of what it takes to create a successful adolescent program. Ted understands the importance of servant leadership and has a track record of building strong, engaged teams. He knows that the best work comes when people feel seen, heard and empowered. His ability to harness individual strengths to work collectively creates a culture of trust which leads to stronger employee engagement and ultimately better treatment for our clients. Ted has had the opportunity to present on behavioral health issues on CNN, CBS, HLN, and ABC as well as conferences nationally. Ted studied at Boston University and received his counseling credential (CATC) from the Institute of Chemical Dependency Studies in Los Angeles, CA. Ted is passionate about creating dialogue about the true causes of maladaptive behaviors and addiction.
