This month, we’re shining our Employee Spotlight on Riley Assalone! 🌟
Did you know JADE has an internship program? Riley’s professional journey started right here at JADE during her second year of grad school, when she interned at our Monroeville and Southside locations, shadowing both a daytime Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and evening Outpatient Program (OP).
Riley did such an exceptional job during her internship, and her clinical skills and personality matched our team so well that we couldn’t let her leave! Around graduation, Riley joined the team full-time in the Southside as our nighttime IOP therapist and led that group for about 2.5 years.
She recently transitioned into facilitating our first-ever fully virtual IOP, as she celebrates 3 years of hard work, excellence, and dedication at JADE all while preparing to take her LCSW exam.
When she’s not at work, Riley enjoys spending time at home with her cats, reading, traveling, and cheering at the ballpark!
Riley brings compassion, authenticity, and positivity to everything she does. Her ability to connect with clients and support her coworkers makes a lasting impact on our team every day. We admire her commitment to growth, her passion for helping others, and the care she puts into her work. We are incredibly grateful to have Riley as part of the JADE team and cannot wait to see all she accomplishes in the future!
