Peter Brizick

Recovery Coach and Vice President of Clinical Operations

“A fisherman always sees another fisherman from afar.”

- Old Russian Proverb

Translated - this means - I can See, Hear, Feel, and Understand you - because we are the same and we’ve been through similar things. In keeping with this statement, Peter’s work as a recovery coach is built upon a foundation of his personal experience and journey, toward and through recovery.  He shares that experience and journey openly in order to form a bond with individuals who are in need of effective, “real life” guidance and support as they enter and progress through their own recovery journey.

Over the last six years, Peter attained a Certified Recovery Specialist designation in Pennsylvania, Certified Recovery Coach through Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR), Certified Recovery Coach Academy Trainer through CCAR, DBT Skills Trainer Certificate, and SMART Recovery Facilitator Certificate.  Additionally, Peter was a recipient of 2017’s Unsung Hero Award through Caron Treatment Centers for demonstrating excellence in the realm of recovery support.  As a self-proclaimed, life-long student Peter has maintained a self-guided course of education which incorporates the following topics: personal growth/development concepts, sports/performance psychology, Eastern spirituality/philosophy, and traditional recovery related topics.

In addition to his work as a recovery coach, Peter has provided intervention planning and facilitation services, transported individuals to treatment locally and nationally, accompanied individuals to legal proceedings, visited with incarcerated clients, and successfully managed several crisis situations involving young adults and their families.
