Meet Nadea Egan of Blackburn Clinical Services

Nadea Egan is the Chief Executive Officer of Blackburn Clinical Services. With over 13 years of experience in mental health and substance use care, she brings a personal and professional passion fueled by her own family’s journey through addiction and grief. Raised in West Hollywood, Nadea’s mission is to offer compassionate care rooted in lived experience.

A Legacy of Care: Why “Blackburn”?

It’s Nadea’s partner Robert Patrick who owns Blackburn Recovery. The name honors his late aunt, Mary Blackburn, who helped launch the organization. In tribute, they carry forward Mary’s compassionate legacy in both Blackburn Recovery and Blackburn Clinical Services.

What Services Do We Offer?

Blackburn Clinical Services in West LA & statewide via telehealth addresses:

• Psychiatry & medication management
• Individual and family therapy
• Neuropsychological testing
• Psychoeducation
• Family support and coaching
• Clients benefit from in-person and virtual sessions, making quality mental health care accessible throughout California.

The Urgent Problem We Solve

Finding effective mental health care often feels frustrating and delayed. Many clients wait 6+ weeks for appointments through traditional channels. At BCS, we pride ourselves on timely connections most clients are seen within just a few days. Our patient-first scheduling approach combined with rigorous clinician matching—ensures fast, seamless access to quality care.

 

What Makes BCS Stand Out

• Patient-centered precision: Each client is matched to the right provider—from psychiatrists to trauma specialists like Kathy Herseg rather than assigned randomly.
• Thorough intake process: If a specialist isn’t available in-house, clients are referred to vetted external providers to ensure optimal care.
• Rapid response ethos: Nadia underscores their readiness: “Some people come … in their own time … need people to answer … that’s what I do.”

Our Expert Team

BCS is a growing, compassionate collective:

• Nadea Egan, CEO – Brings clinical background and organizational leadership.
• Jason Kellogg, Psychiatrist – Praised for his medical expertise.
• Cathy Herceg, Therapist – A trauma specialist working closely with clients.
• Plus two nurse practitioners and nine additional therapists, forming a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team.

Their combined expertise covers a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns.

A Real-Life Success Story

Nadea recalls a deeply meaningful breakthrough:
A hesitant woman struggling with addiction resisted treatment despite daily calls with Nadea. A month later, she committed and four years on, she’s married with a child. Her parting words: “If I hadn’t answered every day, she may not have committed to get help.”
Lesson learned: “Just not to give up on people.”

 

Community, Compassion & Meaningful Connection

BCS operates beyond clinical sessions. Through Blackburn Recovery, clients are invited to volunteer weekly, reinforcing purpose and community. The business also gives discounts to military personnel and healthcare providers, reflecting their values of service and support.

 

In-Person & Telehealth – We Meet You Where You Are

Based in West LA (Venice/Mar Vista), Blackburn Clinical Services offers:

• Convenient in-person sessions
• Broader accessibility via telehealth across California
  This hybrid model expands their reach to the very clients needing swift, quality care.
   Building Trust & Growth

Though BCS has been formalized for only 3 months, Nadea’s decade-plus of experience means deep roots in the community.
They’re actively growing; 14 clinicians are already on board, and attendance at virtual Family Support Group events (like the July 22, 2025 session and another August 5th) is gaining momentum.

 

Life In Los Angeles & Authentic Leadership

Nadea lives locally, is married with a seven-year-old, and loves pickleball. She’s also a Lakers fan, reflecting the real, relatable person behind the brand.
She’s part of “Women in Addiction Treatment,” demonstrating professional leadership and ongoing commitment to collaborative care.
