We're here for you
As survivors of addiction, we’ve been there. We’re dedicated to helping you thrive, regardless of your wellness goals. Members don’t have to remain sober or follow a one-size-fits-all program in coaching. We’ll also help connect you to other resources you may need, including treatment or housing support.
What our members say
Helping people get well is our most important work. We're honored to support our members as they overcome challenges, meet goals and thrive in whatever ways are important to them.
“This place is absolutely life-changing. My life coach has been amazing and has supported me through thick and thin. If you have questions or concerns about drinking this is the place to go. They don't judge, they don't put you in a box, they customize an approach specifically for you. More people could benefit from their services. I applaud Face It TOGETHER. They really do amazing work.”
“It’s something I hadn’t seen before, and I’ve tried about everything. Someone actually listening and working with you to draft a plan – it shouldn’t be earth-shattering, but it is.”
“I feel so fortunate to be able to talk to Janelle about my son who struggles with alcohol addiction. I've never felt uneasy or ashamed to relate my experiences with my son. Janelle listens and offers practical suggestions on ways to help me help him, as well as myself. This can be a difficult road to travel, and having someone there to listen and advise is so very important. It has been (and continues to be) a huge help to me and I'm so very grateful.”
“I was at an ultimate bottom point when I came across Face It TOGETHER. I don't even know how to put into words how much Kattie has helped me. Counseling never seemed like a helpful tool for me, but Kattie really has helped guide me to a healthier forms for coping with stress and anxiety and living a healthy, positive life.”
“There needs to be more programs like Face It TOGETHER – ones that give families the lifeline they need, the correct advice, the community and the safety of the shared experience.”
“To have a program and some research behind it to say, ‘You don’t have to wait for rock bottom, it’s actually helpful to stay connected,’ – that was life-changing for me.”
“Some atmospheres are so sterile and judgmental. Here, I enjoyed coming through the door. I was treated equal, the same, human.”
We can't wait to meet you
We bring a variety of life experiences to our important work. We hope reading about our backgrounds will demystify coaching, introduce our areas of expertise and demonstrate recovery is possible. If you prefer a coach within a certain community that you don’t see represented here, we hope you’ll still consider reaching out. And if you’re comfortable sharing that feedback, we’d greatly appreciate it. We’d love to know what qualities are most important to you and will keep them top-of-mind while hiring new coaches.
