Kreg Gillman
Clinical Director
Kreg brings over 25 years of distinguished experience to the table. He boasts an MBA from UNLV and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from BYU. His combined experience as a therapist, honed over several years at RedCliff Ascent, and his expertise in managing residential treatment programs and acute care programs across Utah, Nevada, and Arizona uniquely qualify him to lead WayPoint Academy through its next phase.
Kreg's extensive background in behavioral healthcare, coupled with his proven leadership skills and financial acumen, make him the ideal candidate to build upon WayPoint Academy's strong foundation as a safe haven for healing. As WayPoint transitions into a co-educational program, the team is confident that under Kreg's direction, the Academy will continue to provide the highest quality treatment services for anxious teens and their families. His expertise is believed to be instrumental in safely and effectively navigating the transition to co-ed services, collaborating with third-party payors, and ensuring the ongoing evolution of specialized anxiety treatment services for teens.
