Dr. Joshua Raybell has joined Echo Springs, Idaho, as Clinical Director after more than two decades of work in the mental health and addiction recovery field. A Coeur d’Alene native, he began his career in 2003 at Kootenai Health’s Youth Residential Program. He served in a wide range of roles across youth and adult psychiatric care, inpatient addiction treatment, and outpatient services. Joshua has worked closely with members of the Echo Springs team for many years, supporting young adults who have accessed more acute care. His therapeutic work is rooted in a deep understanding of neurodiversity, attachment, and human development, and he brings a systems lens to both individual and family work. He believes in addressing the underlying patterns and root causes that often drive addictive or self-defeating behaviors. He values the role of nurturing community in helping young adults move toward healthy independence. In addition to providing clinical leadership, Joshua works directly with participants and families to support sustainable, long-term growth. He was drawn to Echo Springs for its values, heart, and commitment to meaningful work—something he says he’s admired for years.
The owners of Echo Springs, John Winton, Chris Ankney, and Chelsea Dickinson, are thrilled to build the Echo Springs team as they enter their fourth decade. Chelsea speaks for the whole team when she states, “It’s an honor to help shape the next generation of leadership at Echo Springs. I deeply respect the legacy built by those who came before us - every staff, owner, and client - who poured their heart into making this place of healing and growth. Our work now is to carry that legacy forward with the same level of care, compassion, and commitment that first called each of us to this work.”
