ABOUT ME

          My name is Tyler Zenz. I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor, Certified Grief Counselor, and I am also certified as a peer support specialist with lived experience in addiction and in recovery. I believe that recovery support should be accessible to everyone, which is why I am offering services at times and locations that are most convenient for you.

           Over the past six years, I have worked in a wide range of settings, including inpatient and residential treatment centers, correctional institutions, detox facilities, and outpatient clinics. Much of my work has focused on supporting individuals with both substance use and mental health challenges. 

          In addition to my clinical experience, I have also worked alongside law enforcement to provide in person crisis response for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts or mental health crises. While I am not licensed to provide formal mental health treatment or diagnose mental health disorders, I can absolutely offer meaningful, supportive care for those navigating mental health challenges.
