Meet me

Simone Barten

Recovery Specialist

If life feels heavy, confusing, or stuck, you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer a grounded, confidential space where you can talk freely, feel heard, and begin to heal. No jargon, no judgment—just real, honest support from someone who genuinely cares.

I came to this work through my own experience of how addiction affects families. It showed me how easily we slip into roles that don’t always serve us—and how those roles can quietly shape everything around us. Along the way, I learned the difference between rescuing someone and truly supporting them. That shift changed everything for me.

Today, as a Professional Recovery Specialist, I help people untangle those dynamics and get to the heart of what’s really going on—so they can move forward with greater clarity and choice.

With years of experience, ongoing training, and a deep commitment to this work, I meet people exactly where they are. Even if you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply need someone in your corner, I’m here to walk alongside you—with compassion, honesty, and practical support.
