We Are NATSAP: Articles Submitted by Members

Dear Colleagues, 

Cascade Programs is dedicated to serving adolescents who struggle with severe anxiety and OCD. Cascade Academy, our long-term program for girls, was established April, 2020. Cascade Home, our girls short-term, opened July 2024.  Between those programs we have served over 200 families. We feel immense gratitude as we have been a part of so many families and students’ successful transition back into a healthy and joyful life. 

Our desire for expansion has only been imagined through a lens of serving those with anxiety and OCD.  Recently, Cascade was given the opportunity to acquire Waypoint Academy from the Ascent Family of Programs. Seeing the need for an excellent, long-term program with evidence-based treatment for boys with anxiety and OCD, the decision was made to acquire Waypoint Academy. This transaction was finalized on February 10, 2025 marking a significant step forward for both organizations and the individuals we serve. Waypoint Academy will now be known as Cascade Lodge and will be serving adolescent boys and their families. Cascade is excited to have this option for families and remains committed, amidst this growth and expansion, to provide quality care.

We are known for our highly specialized, individualized care for students and families that have been impacted by anxiety, OCD and other co-occurring disorders. As we continue to dedicate ourselves to providing exceptional care to our families, we value our partnership and collaboration with each of you. Thank you for your continued support as we all work together to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.                                                                                                 

Warm regards,

Bekah Schuler, CEO
