Our Team

Leo Magrdichian joined the WestCare family in December of 2010 and was initially employed as a Counselor Intern at WestCare’s longest operating program, Harris Springs Ranch. Mr. Magrdichian is licensed in the State of Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor Supervisor (LCADC-S); and he currently serves as the Regional Vice President of WestCare Nevada.

Irma Magrdichian joined the WestCare family in May of 2011. She was initially employed as a Counselor Intern at the WestCare Nevada Community Involvement Center (CIC). During her tenure at the CIC, Ms. Magrdichian provided both outpatient and intensive outpatient services. She was also responsible for implementing and providing Spanish speaking services at that location; something that WestCare hadn’t done in the Las Vegas area prior to her arrival. Ms. Magrdichian earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and currently serves as the Director of Residential Services, overseeing both Harris Springs Ranch and the Women and Children’s Campus.

Gardis Canty joined the WestCare family in September 2017. With a master’s degree in Licensed Professional Counseling and several undergraduate degrees in Early Childhood Education, Gardis first joined the WestCare family in September 2017. At that time, she had no experience in substance abuse treatment, but had a great passion for working with women.

She was offered guidance and mentorship by colleagues and leadership. In 2019, her passion and efforts led her to become the Clinical Manager of our Women and Children’s Campus and now she has moved forward in becoming our Director of Community Health Services at Maryland Parkway.“ Here is where I learned and defined through my life experiences how to uplift the human spirit,” stated Gardis. “WestCare provided me a space to be myself and grow into my authentic self. For that reason, among many, it will always hold a special place in heart.”

Edgar Salcido was originally from New Mexico but grew up in Las Vegas. He started with WestCare as a Behavioral Health Technician after graduating with his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. During his time at Harris Springs Ranch, he has been able to learn and develop in both his professional and personal life. He is currently completing his Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno which will only further enhance how he continues to help those we serve.
