Bradley F. Sorte

To maintain a smooth leadership transition, Brad will assist Kris Bashore and Dave Rotenberg in their shared duties of the Office of President & CEO as Caron undertakes a nationwide search for his replacement, after he stepped down in February 2023.

A proud, loyal Caron alumnus, Brad's work in many capacities over the years has exemplified Caron's mission of "Recovery for Life." An experienced clinician himself, with deep expertise in the treatment field, Brad was instrumental in helping build Caron Florida, laying the foundation for the opening last week of The Keele Center. He also was an essential part of Doug Tieman's executive team before serving most recently as our President and CEO beginning July 2021.

Previously in his role of Chief Strategy and Growth Officer and Executive Vice President, Brad focused on expanding access and availability for those who need treatment. He was responsible for aligning strategy and performance for Caron Treatment Centers, providing oversight to the business development, marketing, and admissions departments. He guided strategic projects and operationalized them across Caron’s continuum in alignment with the organization's strategic plan. Brad also oversaw Caron’s outpatient and recovery centers, Caron Florida’s Keele Center, and all non-residential services along the regional continuum.

Brad began his career at Caron as a family therapist at Caron Renaissance in 2011 and then became a primary therapist at Ocean Drive. In those positions, he facilitated client group sessions, family workshops, and the Residential Family Program. He also worked closely with patients and families of high net worth to help address pre-existing barriers to recovery and achieve lasting systemic change. Drawing from that experience, Brad believes that, for the best chance of success, each family member must participate and feel supported in the healing process.

Playing a significant role in addiction and behavioral healthcare, Brad speaks at conferences in the United States and abroad on topics ranging from family recovery and young adult addiction to the changing landscape of behavioral healthcare. He has been featured in The New York Times and Miami Herald as well as various media and industry publications.

Active in the Young Presidents Organization, Brad is a member of both the Philadelphia and Palm Beach chapters and serves on the board for Palm Beach.

Brad holds a Master of Social Work degree and a Master of Business Administration degree, both from Florida Atlantic University. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Rice University and a Bachelor of Science degree in legal studies from Kaplan University.
