Reviews for Ground Zero Recovery Coaching

Dave came out to our church, at Harmony Ministries, and gave so much insight into the world of addiction recovery. He came very prepared with a slideshow, insightful personal stories, and great wisdom! He is definitely the guy for all addiction recovery related needs!

I have personally watched David help many families in our community through some of their most difficult times. His coaching is grounded in his own life experiences, which gives him a deep level of understanding and authenticity. David is incredibly empathetic and has a true gift for meeting people where they are, without judgment. He genuinely cares and works hard to support both individuals and families on their path to recovery. I highly recommend David at Ground Zero Recovery Coaching.

A number of years ago, I started questioning my relationship to alcohol. I wasn't to the point of full-fledged alcohol use disorder, but I didn't like the patterns that I was seeing in my behavior. As a psychotherapist, I knew that I wanted some accountability and someone to hold space for me while I worked through this. So, finding David was such a gift. He was incredibly kind and insightful about supporting me. He was able to customize his process to my needs, as someone who cares for others professionally. He helped me to set boundaries in my work and establish a better work/life balance, which ultimately was what normalized and softened my relationship to alcohol. As a clinician, I would readily recommend him to clients if they needed targeted support for substance use. And as a fellow human being, I'm just so grateful that he was there when I needed him.

Dave was excellent to work with ! I hired him to work with one of my clients as a private Sober Companion and he was easy to communicate with, very respectful and did a great job. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him!

Dave literally saved my life. I thought I had things on track, then had a terrible relapse. In a bad state, I called Dave and he managed to get me into a facility and get picked up from my place to get the help I needed. I don't know what I would have done without him. In addition Dave is an extremely compassionate, pragmatic and effective coach. Can't recommend more highly!

Drawing from his own lived experience, he connects deeply and empathizes with those he works with, offering honest, transparent coaching that fosters growth and positive change. Dave’s dedication to breaking the stigma surrounding addiction through education, along with his commitment to helping individuals make meaningful progress in their recovery, is truly inspiring. I highly recommend Ground Zero Recovery to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective guide in their fight against addiction. 

Dave is an absolute Professional when it comes to addiction coaching. I have sent several people to him and they talk about his genuineness, and his heart to really help people struggling with addiction,or family members of those that are addicted,who may also need some counseling. I highly recommend his services, Please don't delay your recovery give Dave a call. You will not regret it.
