About Neisha Becton

Neisha Becton has worked in the mental healthcare field as a clinician and administrator since completing her undergraduate and graduate programs at Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, California in 1992.

Since forming Becton Healthcare Resources (BHR) in 1999, Neisha has played an important role in developing mental health programs for Alameda County and for regional providers of community mental health services.
"I formed BHR to respond to the specific needs in Alameda County for professional management services to assist in the delivery of healthcare to the seriously and persistently mentally ill of this area," Becton says. "The continuing mission of BHR is to provide its client organizations with innovative systems to enhance quality client care, to help quickly identify needs and to more efficiently utilize client resources".
While completing her undergraduate and graduate degrees Becton started off as a counselor for Community Living Centers "CLC" and later became a Client Program Coordinator providing direct patient care to severely mentally ill adults. Becton also worked for Caminar as a counselor providing services to mentally ill and abused children and adolescents.

After completing her graduate degree in counseling psychology, Becton worked as a Program Director in southern California for Social Vocational Services, a leading provider of services for people with developmental disabilities. Becton oversaw operations covering Redondo Beach to Culver City areas, as well as worked closely with Harbor and Westside Regional Centers.

In 1992 she was hired as a Program Director by Psychiatric Management Resources (PMR), based in San Diego and one of the country's largest providers of programs and services for individuals with serious and persistent mental illnesses. Becton was promoted to Operations Director, then became Regional Marketing Director and was named Regional Vice President of Operations in 1996 with multi-state responsibilities throughout California, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Washington, Michigan and Hawaii.

At PMR Becton worked across a broad spectrum of the mental health industry, opening new facilities, initiating business efficiency and quality improvement programs, recruiting and orienting physicians and managing the company's county and community business relationships within her region. As regional vice president she was responsible for the overall growth, management and quality of care for all partial hospitalization and outpatient clinic programs, in partnership with hospitals and community mental health agencies.

Ms. Becton left the company in 1999 to become founder of BHR. Since then BHR has formed partnerships with medical providers in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, Long Beach and Detroit.

She is a nationally recognized leader in her field and has received numerous awards, including Outstanding African-American Entrepreneur Award and the Community Service Award from the Alameda County Mental Health Board, Outstanding Leadership Award, National Leadership Award and Business Women of the Year Award. Neisha continues to work closely with NAMI and supports the Tri-Valley NAMI chapter as well as allows this chapter to hold their monthly meetings in BHRs corporate office every month.
