Home / Our Staff
The people you will actually meet.
New Living is a multidisciplinary team. These are the people who lead the agency and coordinate care.
Bruce Tisdale
Clinical Director
Holds clinical authority across the agency — supervision, treatment planning, and the quality of every service delivered.
Jelika Kamara
Care Coordinator
Keeps each consumer’s care connected — appointments, authorizations, referrals, and the handoffs in between.
Charlotte Fallick
Therapist
Provides individual, group, and family counseling for symptom management and daily living skills.
Before publishing: confirm each person’s current licensure and post-nominals (for example LGSW, LICSW, APRN) and add them beside the name. Licensure is what a referring hospital or a family member checks first. Add a photograph only with written consent from each staff member.
The wider team
Behind these four, a clinical department.
Nurses, therapists, care coordinators, and community support workers deliver the day-to-day work of the agency. We hire from entry level through to experienced professionals, and we are recruiting now.
