Kristi Barr PA-C
Kristi has been a certified physician assistant since 2002 and found her professional calling in psychiatry in 2012. She began her psychiatric work in inpatient settings, gaining extensive experience with complex cases before transitioning to outpatient care in 2018, where she continues to make a meaningful impact.
With a deep commitment to her patients' well-being, Kristi is known for her compassionate, thoughtful approach. She creates a welcoming, supportive environment that helps patients feel comfortable and heard. Her dedication to providing high-quality, individualized care is at the heart of everything she does.
Outside of work, Kristi cherishes her roles as a mother and grandmother—titles that mean the most to her and shape her understanding of the importance of family, connection, and empathy in healing.
Kristi is now accepting patients ages 14 and older with Aetna and UHC/Optum insurance and BCBS. She can also see patients ages 5-13 if they have completed a psychological assessment prior to their first visit.

M. Katie Macaluso PA-C
Katie began her career in medicine working in pharmaceutical research, where she contributed to Phase I–IV clinical trials for nearly a decade. Her deep knowledge of pharmacology inspired her to pursue clinical practice through a medical training program.
She joined the North Dakota Army National Guard and, within a year of completing her training, deployed to Afghanistan for a 12-month tour.
After returning home, Katie completed her Bachelor’s degree at North Dakota State University and went on to earn her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Philadelphia University in 2011.
Katie launched her career as a PA at Temple University’s Episcopal Hospital Crisis Response Center, where she evaluated patients in acute psychiatric crisis to provide stabilization and connect them with vital resources. Since then, she has worked in detox and rehabilitation centers, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient clinics.
With a strong focus on trauma-informed care, Katie brings empathy, insight, and clinical skill to every interaction. She is also passionate about community education and has delivered lectures on the impact of trauma on mental and physical health.

Adria Sullivan, LCMHC
Adria Sullivan is a certified psychedelic-assisted therapist based in Apex, NC, with extensive training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as psilocybin- and MDMA-assisted therapies. She specializes in trauma-informed, holistic mental health care for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression. Adria integrates ketamine treatment with evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches—rather than using ketamine as a stand-alone intervention—remaining present with clients during sessions to support emotional processing, insight-making, and long-term integration. Her approach emphasizes healing the mind–body connection and is especially effective for clients who have not found relief through traditional therapy alone.
Adria Sullivan works in affiliation with Awakenings and Restoring Balance, providing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy services to their patients through a collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrative care model.
Adria is in network with Aetna and BCBS
