Meet Our Team

The incoming adult psychiatrist joins an established two-physician psychiatry team at Good Shepherd. The current team covers adult and pediatric psychiatry through a combination of on-site and hybrid telepsychiatry practice, with external behavioral health support provided through Community Counseling Solutions (CCS).

Psychiatry Physicians

Alyssa Warren, MD

Adult Psychiatrist at Good Shepherd Psychiatry. Medical degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School. Peer-reviewed publications in Psychosomatics and Current Psychiatry on topics including limbic encephalitis and disorders of diminished motivation. Based on-site at 600 NW 11th Street, Suite E-37.

Christopher David, MD

Dual board-certified in Adult Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Medical school at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, with Humanism Scholar Award. Residency at University of California, San Diego. Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at University of Vermont School of Medicine. Training and clinical experience at the National Institutes of Mental Health since 2010. Practices a longitudinal care model that combines tailored psychotherapy with evidence-based medication management. Serves patients ages 5 to 26 through Good Shepherd Pediatrics and adult patients through Good Shepherd Psychiatry, with hybrid and telepsychiatry coverage.

Team Expansion

With this hire, the psychiatry team grows to three physicians covering adult and pediatric care, with the new adult psychiatrist sharing outpatient and ED consult responsibilities with Dr. Warren.

Behavioral Health Support Staff and Regional Partners

Good Shepherd partners with Community Counseling Solutions (CCS) for most therapy, crisis, and acute behavioral health services. Support staff referenced in the recruiter materials are coordinated through CCS rather than employed directly by Good Shepherd.

  • LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Workers): Provided through CCS
  • LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists): Provided through CCS
  • Psychologists: Available on a limited basis through CCS
  • 24/7 crisis intervention: CCS
  • Acute psychiatric admission: REACH in Hermiston (CCS-operated, 9 acute beds)

Medical and Hospital Collaborators

Taylor Delamarter, MD

Hospitalist Medical Director. Leads the inpatient hospitalist team that manages admitted medical patients. Advanced practice providers on the hospitalist team support admitted patient coverage. This team phone-consults psychiatry for admitted medical patients with psychiatric needs.

Robert McCauley, MD

Emergency Department Medical Director. Oversees the 24/7 Level 3 Trauma designated Emergency Department, which generates the majority of acute psychiatric consultation volume (15 to 20 ED consults per month).

Clinic Support Staff

  • Dedicated medical assistants
  • Scheduling and front office support
  • Referral coordination with primary care and specialty teams
  • Good Shepherd Medical Group administrative infrastructure

Team Environment

The psychiatry team operates with meaningful clinical autonomy inside a small, physician-led medical group. Good Shepherd Medical Group providers are housed on a single campus, which supports fast informal consultation across specialties. The hybrid model for existing psychiatry staff (Dr. David via tele, Dr. Warren on-site) is already in place, meaning telepsychiatry workflows and credentialing pathways exist for the incoming physician from day one.
