shannon albert, psyd
Dr. Shannon Albert is the founder and director of Swedish’s first psychology fellowship program. She joined Swedish in 2015 at the inception of integrated behavioral health services in primary care and has been involved in supervision and training program development from the onset. She serves as a fellow supervisor and oversees all aspects of the fellowship programming. Training compassionate, evidence-based, and culturally responsive clinicians sits at the nexus of her other passion - making behavioral health services truly accessible at the right time, in the right place, and for the right reasons. For her, expansion of the Primary Care Behavioral Health model across the Swedish ambulatory behavioral health clinics is not only the right thing to do, it is also fun and rewarding. Core values brought to her supervisory approach are connection, humility, and fostering a wellbeing-first mindset. She deeply values the relationships with her exemplary behavioral health team and visionary leaders and hopes to foster the next generation of clinicians poised to join the Providence Swedish family.
courtney lavadia, phd
Dr. Courtney Lavadia is a Behavioral Health Provider and Licensed Psychologist. She started at Swedish as a postdoctoral fellow in 2020 before accepting a full-time position as a licensed provider in 2021. Areas of specialty include pediatric behavior management and parent training, behavioral sleep medicine (lifespan), polyvagal work, and evaluation and treatment of ADHD and executive dysfunction in primary care. She also has interest in teaching and clinical supervision, which led to her joining the training committee as a pediatric lead in 2022. Her love for Swedish and the PCBH model of care are one in the same; in this role, we're able to provide greater access to behavioral healthcare, and are a part of the new frontline for whole-person care. The way that we can encourage meaningful change, even within just a single visit, is nothing short of extraordinary.
In her personal time, she loves all things crafty (e.g., crochet, sewing/quilting, baking, linocut print, painting), but especially spending quality time with her family and friends, which usually includes one or all of the following: walks/hikes, traveling, video games, board games, camping, etc.
