❤️ Counseling Awareness Month Spotlight: Amber, Bethany H & Chad
As we continue to recognize Counseling Awareness Month, we’re proud to highlight Amber, Bethany H, and Chad—three counselors who bring authenticity, passion, and lived experience into the work they do each day.
Amber found her path in recovery after getting sober and discovering a deep passion for helping others who have walked a similar road. She strives to be the person she once needed, offering support and understanding to those navigating their own journey. Amber’s favorite part of the work is witnessing transformation—watching clients grow into the best versions of themselves as they move through the fog of addiction and begin to let go of shame. For self-care, she values connection, spending time with her “tribe,” and enjoying quiet moments at home with her cat. A quote she lives by reminds us to keep moving forward: “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last.”
Bethany H came into the field through her internship experience and quickly discovered a passion for working with clients in recovery. She values being part of a team that supports individuals who are motivated and willing to put in the work to change their lives. Bethany H finds fulfillment in collaborating with staff and contributing to an environment of encouragement and education. Her self-care practice is something she calls “Scheduling Joy”—intentionally setting aside time each week to do things that bring her happiness and balance. She carries with her a meaningful reminder from her grandfather: “Life is better when you have friends to share it with.”
Chad describes his journey into the field as something that found him. Encouraged years ago to pursue his license, he stepped into this work knowing his story could make a difference. He enjoys the unpredictability of each day, embracing the challenges and variety that come with working in recovery. For Chad, self-care is all about music and the gym—a combination that helps him decompress and stay grounded. His straightforward outlook is reflected in the quote he lives by: “You can’t save your face and your ass at the same time.”
We are grateful for Amber, Bethany H, and Chad and the unique energy, honesty, and dedication they bring to our team and the individuals we serve.
