About
One-on-one recovery coaching for people in early recovery, returning from treatment, or supporting a loved one. Weekly standing sessions, text-based check-ins, and a clear scope of practice.
Editor's Note · Recovery Roots Editors
“Certified, trauma-informed, and — rare among coaches — deeply clear about when to refer out. Not trying to be your therapist. Exactly trying to be your coach.”
What sets them apart
