Barbara Caskey, M.A. LADC, LADC-GS

I have been with Vitality Unlimited for over 11 years. I was born in Nebraska, where I graduated from the Counseling Psychology Graduate Program in 1988 from the University of Nebraska. I lived in Austin, Texas, and worked for the State and Travis County developing sentencing alternative programs, including various drug and alcohol treatment programs. I was the director of a Foster Family Treatment program in Pasadena, California; was a mental health intern in South Lake Tahoe; and am now living and loving it in Elko, Nevada. Throughout my career, I have predominately worked in non-profit social service programs. Today I work at Vitality Unlimited as an Outpatient and Residential Counselor.
