Director and Clinical Supervisors

Martin Waechter, Ph.D., Director has participated on a national, state and local level in the development of behavioral managed care. On a national level, he was a member of the Council of Group Practices for the Institute of Behavioral Healthcare, which conducted the first clinical application to struggle with doing outcome studies in non-research settings. Dr. Waechter was the Behavioral Health Director for six years with a statewide managed behavioral health organization and was central to their utilization management and developing systems to be responsive with obtaining NCQA certification. Dr. Waechter has been a strong advocate of provider self-management and is active in training this point of view to CFD staff.

Erika Waechter, L.C.S.W. and Mitch Schwartz, M.A., Clinical Supervisors, have served on a variety of utilization review committees during their commercial, private practice experience and are primary supervisors to therapists and behavioral support specialists providing service to LaneCare clients. All extensions are reviewed at the time of supervision and all therapist supervision is done in a one-to-one setting.
