For this week’s spotlight, we talked to Melissa Stuber! Melissa is an LADC and the Intern Supervisor here at Integrations Wellness and Recovery. She has been at IWRC since 2022! She cites Brene Brown as an influence in helping others; specifically, her contributions to positive psychology. When asked about a favorite book, Melissa gave The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. We asked if there has been anything she has learned from clients that has stuck with her; she spoke about perspective. Our clients come from many different walks of life. Learning about their experiences has aided her approach in helping others.

When she isn’t working, Melissa enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and pets. She also enjoys being outdoors, crocheting, and cooking. A favorite recipe of hers is chicken enchiladas, check out the recipe below!

Important values of Melissa’s are being open and teachable; she tries to model those values as much as possible. One misconception she would like to correct is that recovery/treatment is easy; it is many things but easy is rare! For Melissa, a great day means she is making a difference in someone’s recovery journey. We part with a favorite mantra of Melissa’s and her chicken enchilada recipe!
“A journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step.”

Chicken Enchiladas
2 lbs chicken (breast or canned)
2 C. chicken broth
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 can diced chili peppers
1 C. sour cream
16 oz. Monterey Jack shredded cheese
Queso Fresco Cheese (either round or shredded)
1 diced red onion
2 Tbsp minced garlic
Black pepper (to taste)
6 burrito tortillas
Cilantro (to your preference)
Lettuce, tomatoes, or other toppings of choice

Cook and shred chicken breast (or used canned chicken).
Sauté onion and garlic together, until tender, add in chili peppers.
Add chicken broth mixed with corn starch, cooking until thickened.
Mix in sour cream, and ½ amounts of Monterey Jack and queso cheese.
Add pepper and cilantro to taste.

Use ½ of cheese sauce and mix with chicken, place this mixture into a tortilla and place in baking pan.
Use the rest of the cheese sauce to smother over the rolled tortillas.
Put more onion and cilantro on top prior to baking (as preferred).
Cover with the rest of the Monterey Jack and Queso cheese mix.
Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes.
You can top with lettuce, tomato, or other toppings of your choice.

Hope you enjoy, we would love to hear your favorite recipe, post them in the comments below!

This week’s spotlight is on Rich Decker! Rich is a co owner of IWRC, a psychotherapist (PsyD, LPCC), and someone who steps in wherever he’s needed—everything from plumbing to electrical work!

Rich originally pursued a degree in marketing, but a few psychology courses shifted his focus toward psychotherapy. His desire to help others became the driving force behind his career path. He shares that author Charles Whitfield, known for Healing the Child Within, was partly influential in shaping his approach to helping others. Above all, Rich hopes that everyone who comes to Integrations feels welcomed and has a true sense of belonging.

Outside of work, Rich enjoys riding his motorcycle, exercising, and activities that include a bit of risk. He finds joy in spending time with family, friends and pets, eating spicy food, and engaging in intellectual conversations. Thanks to his wife, Jill Decker, he’s also developed a love for travel and cuisines from around the world—especially food that’s truly spicy (not just Minnesota spicy!).

One of Rich’s core values is seeing humanity in every person. He believes that being human means succeeding, failing, making mistakes, and everything in between! For those interested in learning more about Integrations and mental health support, Rich shares this encouragement:
“It takes a lot more strength to walk through those doors than it does to stay on the other side.”

We want to shine a spotlight on the staff who make Integrations Wellness and Recovery what it is.

The spotlight first falls on Jill Decker. Jill is a co-owner of IWRC, the treatment director, and an LPCC. She takes on many other responsibilities when needed, which is often; she wears many hats! A family history of addiction influenced her decision to pursue work in substance abuse and mental health treatment. Her time in graduate school was influential thanks to her supervisors. Jill credits authors such as Brené Brown, Gabor Mate, Viktor Frankl, and Dr. Mee-Lee for influencing her approach to helping others.

When she is not working, Jill enjoys spending time with her husband and kids, traveling, eating food from all over the world, and being outdoors. An important figure in her life is often found alongside Jill (or escaping her office): Simon the cat! Though he looks sophisticated, he brings an air of whimsy and charm to any conversation had in her office. Meditation, deep breathing, and journaling are her favorite ways to practice self-care, and she often recommends them to others.

A commonly held misconception is that one can be “cured” of an addiction within the 30-ish days of residential treatment. Integrations Wellness and Recovery strives to provide tools to help begin a healthy, long-lasting recovery path. To anyone considering Integrations, her message is: “You are worthy, welcome, and you deserve respect.”

With care, we part with a favorite quote of Jill’s:

“Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and embrace who you are.” -Brene Brown
