Colleen Ecker

In a time of crisis, you deserve to feel safe about who you are placing your trust in.

​

I do this work because I’ve been where you are. Growing up with a mentally ill family member shaped my world early, and my own recovery journey through addiction led me to this calling. Those experiences, together with decades of professional work, help me ease the fear and confusion families face when navigating a daunting system.

​

I create customized treatment solutions for individuals and families facing substance use, mental health challenges, behavioral issues, special needs, and co-occurring disorders. My goals are long-term success, stability, and dignity for every client.

​

Before fully stepping into this work, I traveled the world as a Cruise Director and have called the Midwest, East Coast, and now West Coast home. I earned degrees in advertising, marketing, sociology, and psychology.

I’ve been married to my husband for over 40 years, am the proud mom of four sons, and now a grandmother too.

​

My passions are my family, and helping to break the stigma that still surrounds recovery. I believe deeply in bringing hope, healing, and connection to those who struggle in silence.

Whether you find support through me or another professional, know that taking the first step is the most important one. And you don’t have to do it alone.​​​​​​​​​
