Real support. Real people. Real recovery.
Human Centered Coaching for those in recovery seeking deeper healing, long-term sobriety, or a guide who sees the whole you.
How Human Centered Sobriety Coaching Helps
Recovering from substance abuse is a deeply personal journey, and no two paths in sobriety are the same. Early recovery focuses on “staying sober one day at a time” and forming human connections within a sober community such as a 12 Step Program. Our human centered coaching is not an alternative to these traditional models. Our coaching is personalized, focusing on your unique needs, values, and experiences to help you build a life worth remaining sober.
Personalized Guidance
Every person’s recovery journey is unique. Human-centered coaches tailor their approach based on your individual story, needs, and goals.
Stay on track with regular check-ins, encouragement, and someone who truly listens — not just to your words, but your emotions and struggles.
Emotional Support & Accountability

What is a Sobriety Coach?
A sobriety coach is a guide, mentor, and accountability partner for individuals seeking to improve their relationship with alcohol or other substances.
How is a "human-centered" coach different?
A human-centered coach emphasizes a personalized approach that addresses the unique needs, goals, and values of the individual, rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. They focus on the person, not just the substance use, and honor multiple pathways to recovery.
Who can benefit from human-centered sober coaching?
It can help anyone looking to change their relationship with substances, from those just beginning to question their use to those with significant time in recovery. It is especially useful for those transitioning out of an inpatient program.
Do I have to want to be completely sober to use a Human-Centered Sober Coach?
No. A human-centered approach meets you wherever you are in your journey. The goal is to identify and work toward the changes you want to make, at your own pace, whether that means moderation or complete abstinence.
What should I expect in the first session?
The first session often focuses on setting goals, identifying your motivations for change, and creating a baseline roadmap to achieve your goals at your own pace.
How often do we meet?
Meeting frequency is highly personalized based on your needs, and can range from weekly sessions in the beginning to less frequent check-ins over time.
How do I find the right human-centered sober coach?
Look for a coach that you can truly connect with and who you feel truly sees and hears you. Because your connection with your coach is so important, we offer a free introductory consultation to see if we have a good personality fit.
