In Alvita’s own words:
“Coming from a family with a parent struggling with addiction my whole life and seeing the impact it had on me and my siblings, really lit a fire inside of me to help others with similar experiences. So many times in my life I saw drugs and alcohol “win” to the point of my mother losing her kids to the system, suffering numerous health issues, facing legal challenges and essentially becoming a completely different person with no hope. I aspire to help individuals in “dark spaces” who feel like they are powerless or “losing” in this journey of life and feel they have nowhere to turn. I have a passion for not just helping those in recovery to maintain sobriety but also be a beacon of hope to help repair relationships and walk in the light they are destined for. I aim to empower my clients to give them a sense of hope that there is happiness in healing and that healing doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. ”-Alvita Lott
