Lilli Correll is a nationally recognized leader in behavioral health with over 20 years of experience advancing care for individuals with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, trauma, and complex health needs. A licensed professional counselor and former Fortune 5 healthcare executive, she has led strategic initiatives across Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial markets—driving value-based care, multi-state payer partnerships, and whole-person care integration.

Lilli’s career includes executive leadership roles at Genoa Healthcare/Optum and Cenpatico Behavioral Health, where she designed and scaled population-specific models of care and partnered with PBMs to enhance pharmacy services for high-need populations. Her ability to bridge clinical insight with operational strategy has made her a trusted advisor and system-level change agent.

But Lilli’s passion for this work is deeply personal. A survivor of childhood trauma, she spent years believing she was irreparably damaged—until healing, resilience, and evidence-based care helped her rewrite that story. Her bestselling book, Resolve to Rise, empowers others to do the same.

Today, Lilli leads Resolve to Rise, a heart-driven movement focused on helping individuals, systems, and organizations understand the lasting impacts of trauma—and how to transform them. Whether she's speaking on stage, consulting with providers or state agencies, or creating resilience-oriented resources, Lilli remains committed to one belief: healing is possible, and resilience is real.
