I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, graduated from Simmons University (located in Boston). I have years working as a therapist, and my people (clients) have often told me that I have found ways to connect without judging them. I am humble, have a sense of humor, and help you validate self. Mental Health care is the work that you put into your healthiness, and I am with you along the way on your journey. I believe that you are not meant to manage the hard stuff alone, and that it starts with teamwork.

Jeremy Wade

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Idaho


Welcome! I am Jeremy Wade, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of healthcare experience. After spending 25 years as an ER provider and clinical leader, I saw too many patients hospitalized simply because they couldn't access proactive outpatient psychiatric care. Driven by a passion to help this underserved population, I stepped away from the ER to dedicate myself fully to mental wellness. Today, I combine my deep medical background with my growing mental health expertise to treat the "whole you" in a safe, welcoming, and collaborative environment.

Hi. I'm Susan (Simmons) Martinelli and, simply stated, "I love people"...every individual one. I have over 30 years' experience in the mental health field with people who may also suffer with substance use and addiction or vice versa. The two often go hand-in-hand and it can be a devastating and life-changing moment to realize you possibly have either a mental illness and/ or a substance/ alcohol use problem. I simply want to help you find your healthy path...whatever that is for you. I look forward to learning about you as a person and what we can accomplish together.
