Eight dedicated specialists — each with lived recovery experience — providing the authentic peer support that changes lives.
A Recovery Empowerment Specialist (RES) is a peer support professional with their own lived experience in recovery from addiction, mental health challenges, or both. Their unique perspective — born from genuine understanding, not textbooks — is what makes their support extraordinary. They don't just understand recovery in theory. They've lived it.
Abigail specializes in supporting women in early recovery, providing compassionate peer mentorship informed by her own lived experience. She creates safe, judgment-free spaces where women feel genuinely seen and supported.
Alvin brings a structured, encouraging approach to accountability coaching. He helps clients build the daily habits and mindset shifts that transform recovery from a struggle into a sustainable lifestyle.
Carlos focuses on bridging clients with Washington State's broader support ecosystem. His expertise in community navigation ensures no one falls through the cracks between services.
Kelvin is trained in emotional regulation techniques and crisis de-escalation. His calm, steady presence is a pillar of stability for clients navigating the most challenging moments in their recovery.
Kesney creates a uniquely safe space for clients who have experienced judgment and shame around their struggles. His non-judgmental approach helps people open up and engage authentically with support.
Madyson helps clients navigate the practical complexities of recovery — from managing appointments and paperwork to finding resources and building life skills. She makes the system work for people, not against them.
Mwila brings cross-cultural sensitivity and multilingual support to our team, ensuring that individuals from diverse backgrounds receive support that truly resonates with their lived experience and values.
