My unique approach to recovery
At Rising Tide Peer Support, our philosophy is rooted in radical empathy and practical action. Discover how our lived experience and collaborative methods can guide you to lasting recovery and a self-directed future.
Beyond conventional support
Our approach at Rising Tide Peer Support stands apart through the combination of radical empathy and practical action. We believe true recovery comes from understanding your journey and equipping you with the tangible tools for a stable future.
Lived experience, real solutions
Having navigated extreme adversity and homelessness, I bring a perspective that honors the grit it takes to survive. I don't just understand recovery conceptually; I offer a roadmap built from personal success, focusing on "Recovery Capital" like housing, employment, and life skills.
A partnership built on equality
Working with me feels like a conversation between equals. There's no judgment or clinical atmosphere; instead, it's a space where your voice is paramount. I stand beside you as a peer, removing past shame and replacing it with tools to build a self-directed future.
Our steps to your lasting recovery
1. Building the foundation
Our journey begins by getting to know each other. Using Motivational Interviewing, we identify what you truly want to change, ensuring your goals are authentically yours, not external expectations.
2. Mapping your assets
We'll take an honest inventory of your strengths, support systems, and tangible needs. This "Recovery Capital" assessment helps us identify what you need—like housing or employment—to feel secure and build a stable foundation.
3. Goal setting and ongoing advocacy
We break down big goals into small, manageable steps. Whether it's navigating paperwork, connecting with resources, or practicing new skills, we tackle it together. I walk alongside you, celebrating wins, troubleshooting setbacks, and adjusting your plan as your life evolves.
