Meet Our Team

Caitlin DiBlasi, BS, BSN, RN

Co-Founder and COO

Caitlin is a BSN-prepared registered nurse with a background in mental health and substance use, along with eight years of experience as a certified recovery coach. She also holds a degree in business from UMass Amherst, bringing both clinical and operational experience to her role at Trailhead. Her connection to this work is both professional and personal, shaping her commitment to creating a treatment environment built on trust, compassion, and meaningful connection.

As Co-Founder and COO, Caitlin played a key role in developing Trailhead and shaping its approach to care. She helped build a program that combines evidence-based treatment with movement, time outdoors, and whole-person wellness, while creating an environment that feels approachable and connected to life outside of treatment.

Outside of Trailhead, Caitlin is a marathon runner who loves traveling, hiking, and spending time outdoors. Whether exploring somewhere new or getting out on the trails closer to home, she values the role that movement, nature, and new experiences can play in creating balance and connection. That perspective carries into the culture at Trailhead and the way care is designed to extend beyond the walls of treatment.

Kaylee Gallagher

Clinician

Kaylee Gallagher is a Clinician at Trailhead with two years of experience in behavioral health, working with adults. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration and is currently working toward her Master of Social Work with licensure, with studies at Southern New Hampshire University and University of Massachusetts Global. She is Narcan trained and CPR certified.

Kaylee believes recovery is not one size fits all and that each client deserves the opportunity to discover what recovery looks like for them. She works to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being honest, making mistakes, and growing through the recovery process.

She takes a natural, person-centered approach rather than making every interaction feel overly clinical or textbook based. By building genuine rapport and a space where clients can be themselves, she finds people are more willing to be honest about their struggles, which leads to a stronger therapeutic relationship and more meaningful work together.

What motivates Kaylee most is the belief that everyone deserves access to treatment, support, and the opportunity to recover, regardless of the stigma that still surrounds addiction. Outside of work, she enjoys golfing, snowboarding, playing pickleball, and spending time with friends and family.
