Meet the Staff

At Sanctuary Clinics, our team is more than just staff — we’re a family of caring professionals who feel called to walk with you on your journey toward healing. From our therapists and physicians to our addiction specialists and support staff, each of us is here to listen, encourage, and support you with compassion and understanding. We believe in combining professional excellence with genuine Christian love, so you feel both safe and truly cared for in every step of your recovery.

What unites us is our shared heart for helping people rediscover hope, health, and wholeness. We know that healing is not just about treatment plans — it’s about being surrounded by people who believe in you, pray for you, and stand with you through the hard days and the victories. Whether you’re meeting one-on-one with a therapist, joining a group session, or connecting with others in community, our team is here to remind you that you are never alone — and that brighter days are ahead.
