Meet the Pivot Team

At Pivot, our strength lies in our people. Our dedicated team brings together a vibrant mix of clinical knowledge, decades of personal recovery experience, and an unwavering commitment to help young men build self-sufficient lives in recovery. Many of our staff members are even alumni—a testament to our community and a resource for every young man that lives there today.

From leadership to recovery coaches, every member of our staff contributes to our safe, welcoming environment—one where residents can create a healthy independent life through:

One-on-One Care: Each resident gets dedicated coaching and care to meet their specific goals and challenges.
Experienced Professionals: Our licensed clinicians and support personnel have extensive education and experience in substance use disorder, mental health recovery, life skills development, and more.
Community-Oriented Approach: At Pivot, everyone belongs. Residents build meaningful connections and supportive relationships that last long after their time on our campus.
