At Paraclete Recovery, recovery coaching is more than guidance—it is a collaborative, empowering coaching experience that blends lived wisdom with professional training. Rooted in compassion and respect, this approach supports not only recovery from substance use, but the broader journey of personal growth, life alignment, and renewed purpose.

Through telehealth, our work together is centered on you. Sessions are designed to help you clarify goals, strengthen recovery skills, and explore what it means to live in alignment with your values and inner truth. This includes both recovery-focused support and life path coaching—supporting transitions, identity exploration, confidence-building, and forward momentum at every stage of your journey.

A deeply integrated approach is at the core of this work — one that reaches beyond traditional recovery support and into the spaces where lasting change is created. Alongside grounding, mindfulness, journaling, and reflective practices, this work incorporates nervous system regulation, somatic and embodiment work, sound bowl therapy, and energy-based healing to support restoration across mind, body, and energy. We may also explore your Human Design — offering insight into your patterns, decision-making, and energetic alignment — so that your recovery is not something you force, but something that begins to work with you.

This process extends beyond the individual, supporting relationship repair, deeper connection, and the creation of a life that feels steady, supported, and real. This is not a one-size-fits-all model. Recovery coaching at Paraclete Recovery is flexible, heart-centered, and adaptive—honoring your lived experience, cultural context, spiritual beliefs, and personal goals. With flexible telehealth options and availability that extends beyond traditional hours, support is there when life is happening — in the moments you need it, not just the moments that fit a schedule.

At its core, this work is about empowerment. It is about walking beside you as you move beyond survival and into clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Here, recovery coaching becomes partnership, coaching becomes activation, and recovery becomes a foundation for renewal, purpose, and a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and truly your own.

At Paraclete Recovery, peer support is not confined to a circle or a conversation — it’s a lived, shared experience.

This is a space where connection becomes active, where healing happens in relationship, and where growth is supported not just through words, but through presence, movement, and meaningful engagement in real life. Community here is intentional. It’s built through shared experiences — peer circles, workshops, group outings, and immersive gatherings that create space for connection, reflection, and forward movement. Whether sitting together in conversation, stepping outside into nature, or engaging in guided experiences, this work invites you to participate in your healing, not just talk about it.

Each offering is designed to support accountability, encouragement, and personal insight — while also creating opportunities to rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and experience connection in a way that feels real and supportive. There is no single way these spaces unfold. Some gatherings are grounding and reflective — offering space to slow down, process, and reconnect inward. Others are more active and engaging — inviting movement, shared experience, and moments of connection that happen naturally, without pressure.

Within these spaces, healing is supported in ways that don’t always need to be explained. It might be felt in a moment of stillness, in the resonance of sound, in the shift that happens when you feel safe enough to exhale, or in the quiet recognition that you’re no longer doing this alone. You are not expected to show up a certain way here.
You are not asked to have it all figured out. You are simply invited to come as you are — and to be met in that. Over time, something begins to change. Connection feels more natural. Trust begins to rebuild. And being part of something starts to feel steady instead of uncertain.

This is not about fitting into a group. It’s about experiencing what it means to be supported within one. Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the presence of others, in shared experience, and in the moments where you begin to feel yourself again — not as you were, but as you’re becoming.

At Paraclete Recovery, we believe recovery becomes stronger when the barriers of daily life begin to lift. It is about practical, compassionate support that helps remove obstacles and expand opportunities—so you can build stability, confidence, and momentum in your recovery.

Through community connection and resource navigation, I walk beside you as we identify and access supports that strengthen your foundation. This may include connections to housing, employment, education, medical care, insurance, and social supports. Together, we make sense of complex systems, explore realistic options, and create a plan that feels empowering and achievable.

This work goes far beyond handing out referrals. It is a collaborative process rooted in encouragement and clarity—helping you understand what’s standing in your way, identify meaningful goals, and take intentional steps forward. As barriers are removed, space opens for possibility, growth, and renewed self-trust. At Paraclete Recovery, together we open doors by replacing obstacles with pathways of support. It’s about ensuring you are not just surviving in recovery, but building a life with access, stability, and opportunity—one that allows you to grow with purpose, resilience, and hope.

Paraclete Recovery LLC offers non-clinical, peer-based support, recovery coaching, and integrative services designed to support personal growth and healing. These services are not a replacement for licensed medical care, mental health treatment, or substance use disorder services. While Christina Bakker brings both professional training and lived experience to this work, all services are offered in a non-clinical capacity. This means they are not therapy, and do not include diagnosis, medical care, or clinical treatment. As part of this work, support may include helping you explore and connect with additional resources such as medical care, substance use treatment services, mental health services, or community supports when needed. While Paraclete Recovery LLC does not provide clinical services directly, guidance and support can be offered in identifying options and navigating next steps.
