Shasta Treadway is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who sees clients aged 18 and older, Monday through Friday in the office. She sees all newly referred clients so she can assess their needs.

Augmenting these services is a part-time nurse practitioner and licensed clinical social worker are also available through telehealth. The nurse practitioner, JoAnn Sciacca, will see children starting at age 7 and above.  Maura Gordon, the social worker, see adults.

Provider referrals are required so staff can learn more about possible physical ailments and/or medication side effects that may be contributing to the client’s condition. Once the referral is received from the provider, the client will be called to make an appointment.
