Our medical team consists of a board-certified psychiatrist with over 24 years of experience in the field of addiction psychiatrist, a medical director that is certified in addiction medicine and also board certified in OB/GYN and bariatric medicine., an ARNP certified in family medicine and psychiatric medicine and a full-time registered nurse. Our clinical team consists of master’s level clinicians that are either licensed in either mental health counseling or clinical social work. Some of our licensed clinicians have advanced training and certification in the treatment of Eating Disorders and certified in EMDR. An additional support to our clinical team is our case managers, peer specialist and vocational case managers who assist in supporting the health and wellness needs of Wayside House clients.
