Meet the Founder

Isatou Kassama, MSW, LSW

Founder & Principal Consultant

Isatou Kassama is a licensed social worker with deep expertise in Ohio behavioral health regulation. She founded Auxlia Consulting LLC to provide the kind of hands-on, accessible consulting that smaller and community-based providers rarely have access to.

With a Master of Social Work and an active Ohio LSW license, Isatou brings both clinical understanding and regulatory knowledge to every engagement. She has guided organizations through Ohio Department of Behavioral Health certification, CARF accreditation preparation, and ongoing compliance monitoring.

Her approach is direct, practical, and rooted in genuine care for the communities these organizations serve.

Our Mission

To make high-quality compliance consulting accessible to every behavioral health provider, regardless of size, funding, or background, so that more Ohioans can access the care they need.

Accessible

We serve small startups and community-based organizations who are often priced out of large consulting firms.

Culturally Competent

We understand the communities our clients serve and bring that understanding into every document we produce.

Results-Driven

Our goal is your certification, your accreditation, your sustainability, not billable hours.

Providers Expanding Services

Certified providers who want to add new service lines (e.g., adding peer support to an existing SUD program) and need updated documentation and a new certification application.
