Dr. Wassif, is a proud graduate of Penn State University and one of the first prescribing psychologists in the state of Idaho. Over the past 18 years he has worked in a variety of mental health settings, including outpatient care, residential treatment, universities, and a VA medical center, catering to individuals, families, and groups across all age groups. For the last six years, he has been associated with Bonner General Hospital.
Dr. Wassif emphasizes that mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being and must be evaluated through a holistic lens. Mental health treatment involves multiple tools, such as psychiatry and psychotherapy, that help remove barriers to personal growth and optimal health. Joe is committed to being present for each patient and making their needs a priority. He takes pride in advocating for patient needs and prefers to take a team approach, utilizing a shared decision-making model with his patients.
When not in the clinic he loves to play on the lake or go backpacking with his family. In the winter, he can be found chasing his kids down one of the slopes at Schweitzer.
