Peer Recovery Group Coaching

You were never meant to recover alone.

Recovery is discovery. And discovery happens in relationship.

Peer Recovery Group Coaching is a supportive, facilitated space for people who are ready to explore what comes next—not through shame, perfection, or doing recovery “the right way,” but through connection, curiosity, accountability, and shared humanity.

This is a space to bring your whole self.

Your story.
Your questions.
Your identities.
Your successes.
Your setbacks.
Your uncertainty.
Your becoming.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you join us.

You just have to be willing to start where you are.

What is Peer Recovery Group Coaching?

Peer Recovery Group Coaching brings people together around a shared commitment to growth, healing, and creating lives that feel more authentic and sustainable.

Unlike traditional therapy, group coaching is non-clinical and action-oriented. We focus on what is happening now, what you want to create next, and the strengths, resources, relationships, and practices that can help you get there.

As a peer-led space, we recognize that you are the expert in your own life.

The facilitator isn't here to fix you or tell you who to become.

We're here to walk alongside you.

We listen.
We reflect.
We ask questions.
We notice patterns.
We celebrate movement.
We challenge shame.
We practice accountability.
And we remind each other that transformation doesn't have to happen alone.

Recovery can mean more than sobriety.

Recovery can include substance use and addiction—but it can also include recovering from:

  • Shame and self-abandonment

  • Family rejection or estrangement

  • Trauma and survival patterns

  • High-control environments

  • Internalized oppression

  • Systems that taught you to disconnect from yourself

  • People-pleasing and codependency

  • Perfectionism and productivity culture

  • Identity suppression

  • Major life transitions

  • Grief and loss

  • Burnout

  • Disconnection from community

  • Old stories about who you're “supposed” to be

Recovery is not simply returning to who you were before something happened to you.

Sometimes recovery means discovering who you are becoming.

The Integral Recovery Approach

My approach to recovery is peer-guided, self-directed, trauma-aware, identity-affirming, and whole-person focused.

We look beyond a single behavior or diagnosis and consider the larger ecosystem of your life—including your relationships, environment, identity, values, body, community, and sense of meaning.

Together, we explore questions like:

What do I actually want?

What have I been conditioned to believe about myself?

What helps me feel connected to myself and others?

Where am I abandoning myself to belong?

What strengths and resources already exist in my life?

What would a sustainable life look like—not a perfect one?

What is one thing I can practice differently this week?

There is room here for complexity.

You don't have to choose between accountability and compassion.

Between individuality and community.

Between acceptance and change.

We can practice both/and.

What happens in a group?

Each group is a little different, but sessions may include:

Check-In & Connection

A chance to arrive, notice what is present, and connect with the people in the room.

Peer Reflection

Share experiences, perspectives, challenges, and insights with others who understand that recovery isn't linear.

Coaching & Conversation

Explore a current challenge or goal through facilitated questions, reflection, and practical tools.

Skill Building

Develop tools for self-awareness, boundaries, emotional regulation, communication, accountability, decision-making, and sustainable change.

Integration

Identify what you're taking with you and one small step you can practice before the next gathering.

No forced vulnerability. No pressure to share. No performing wellness.

You are invited to participate at the level that feels right for you.

Community is part of recovery.

One of the most powerful things we can discover in recovery is:

“Maybe I'm not the only one.”

There is something transformative about being witnessed by people who don't need you to explain every part of your experience.

Group coaching creates opportunities to:

  • Be seen without having to perform

  • Learn from other people's lived experience

  • Practice being in relationship

  • Build connection and belonging

  • Receive encouragement and perspective

  • Develop accountability without shame

  • Discover that your experience can help someone else

  • Remember that you have something valuable to contribute

Your healing doesn't happen in isolation.

Neither does your becoming.

Who is this for?

Peer Recovery Group Coaching may be a good fit if you are:

  • Exploring recovery or already living in recovery

  • Looking for community and accountability

  • Navigating a major life transition (Example: a gender transition, sharing a new sexuality, leaving an abusive relationship)

  • Rebuilding your relationship with yourself

  • Exploring identity and authenticity

  • Healing from shame, rejection, or systems that taught you to disconnect from yourself

  • Wanting support alongside clinicial treatment or just looking for lived experience connections

  • Interested in whole-person wellness

  • Tired of believing you need to do everything alone

  • Curious about what becomes possible when recovery becomes discovery

You do not need to have a diagnosis or a particular recovery pathway to participate.

You don't have to identify as an “addict.”

You don't have to be perfect.

You are the expert in you.

A Space for the Whole Human

My work is especially informed by lived experience within LGBTQ+ communities, recovery, identity exploration, marginalization, neurodivergence, family systems, and navigating institutions that don't always make room for the full complexity of a human being.

That means this group makes room for nuance.

Your identity isn't a problem to solve.

Your humanity isn't something you need to justify.

Your recovery doesn't have to look like someone else's.

There is no single correct way to become yourself.

What Peer Recovery Group Coaching Is — and Isn't

This is:

Peer support.
Coaching.
Community.
Reflection.
Skill building.
Accountability.
Connection.
Growth.

This is not:

Psychotherapy.
Medical treatment.
Crisis intervention.
A substitute for professional mental health or substance-use treatment.

Group coaching can complement other forms of support. If you need clinical treatment, medical care, or crisis support, those services remain important parts of your support network.

You Don't Have to Know the Whole Way.

Maybe you're exhausted.

Maybe you're rebuilding.

Maybe you're curious.

Maybe you're doing really well and want deeper community.

Maybe you don't even know what you need yet.

Start anywhere.

We can begin with what is present.

A feeling.

A question.

A goal.

A stuck place.

A possibility.

A glimmer.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going.

You just have to be willing to take the next step.

Ready to Find Your People?

Join a community where recovery isn't about becoming someone else.

It's about becoming more fully yourself.

JOIN ANYTIME.

Let's talk about what you're looking for, what kind of support would be useful, and whether Peer Recovery Group Coaching is a good fit for you.

Recovery is discovery.

And you don't have to discover it alone.

An important Note About Safety & Support

Peer Recovery Group Coaching is a non-clinical service. It is not a replacement for therapy, medical care, psychiatric care, substance-use treatment, or emergency services. Participants are encouraged to maintain the professional and personal support systems that best meet their individual needs.

You are not a problem to be fixed.

You are a human being becoming.
