Northpoint Washington Staff

Erica Lopez, LCSW

Erica has been with the company since 2015 when she began working as a counselor at Ashpoint Recovery. An alum of Boise State University's Advance Standing Social Work Program, Erica initially focused on substance abuse, mental health, crisis intervention and advocacy for the LGBT community.

Erica is responsible for overseeing programs at Idaho facilities and collaborates with clinical teams to ensure Northpoint programs are both complimentary and diverse for treating patients for substance abuse and mental health issues. As someone motivated to discovering the underlying causes of a patient's ongoing challenges, she strives to stay current in the latest research and strategies capable of improving patient outcomes and recovery.

She is energized by spending time with family and friends and describes her two black Labrador retrievers as her pride and joy.

Logan Stroud

Logan R. Stroud joined Northpoint Recovery in February 2019 as Vice President in the Washington market. In this role, Logan is responsible for day-to-day operations in Washington, ensuring Northpoint facilities maintain focus on positive patient outcomes and helping guide new growth opportunities.

With a master's degree in Healthcare Administration, Logan has spent more than 13 years in the healthcare industry. Most recently, he was an operations executive at Washington-based Providence St. Joseph Health and was responsible for overseeing multiple facilities and teams focused on patient rehabilitation and medical management.

What appealed to Logan about Northpoint is its ability to make impactful differences in the lives of patients and the potential for expanding that sphere of impact in Washington. "This organization is poised to make big and positive impacts on communities and it's satisfying on a personal and professional level to be a part of something like that."

Outside the workplace, Logan enjoys spending time with his family exploring the plentiful outdoor activities available in the Pacific Northwest.

Teresa McClure, LPC, ACADC

Teresa holds a master's degree in Clinical Counseling, is a licensed professional counselor and ACADC certified. Her professional background and experience in these disciplines is key to her oversight role for staff training at Northpoint, compliance with ethical rules and state/federal laws, development of company policy and procedure and ensuring Northpoint facilities are prepared and compliant with Joint Commission surveys.

Teresa began working part-time in outpatient services at Ashwood Recovery in 2012 and in 2014 transitioned to Northpoint Recovery's inpatient facility. She embraces Northpoint's philosophy that addiction is a treatable disease achieved with the help of caring individuals, a commitment to therapy and helping patients realize their full potential.

Her leadership has been essential to helping Northpoint open new facilities, adhering to state licensing standards and communicating the importance of compliance to the entire team.

"It's important to approach our jobs in a way that we're constantly focused on doing the right thing every day, all the time. We accomplish great things by keeping our eyes on all of the details and components that are fundamental to delivering successful programs and results for our patients."
