Collaborative Client Centered Services
Substance addiction is difficult to overcome with willpower alone. We look at the numerous aspects of use, such as self-medication, trauma responses, etc., and our goals are to assist clients in identifying their triggers, relapse chain, getting ready for the future, and creating a recovery plan that works for them. We improve each consumer’s recovery capital to utilize in their recovery process through research-based therapies, self-centered planning in conjunction with therapeutic collaboration, and education aimed at strengthening community support.
Community
Supports
We think that having a support system to turn to when things become tough is a natural outcome of a customer creating their own recovery supports. Their chances of recovering and achieving long-term success are increased by this. In order to encourage the person to gradually participate in the recovery process, in cooperation with the consumers, peer counselors, clinicians, and staff use Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and Peer Concepts.
Consumer-based Interventions
Interventions are customized for every single client. To work together to create a service plan that is appropriate for each individual, we begin with the evaluation, intake, and consent for services. This guarantees that services be rendered when and as needed, as decided by the individual. When there are outside motivators, like the court system, child protective services, etc., we will design a workable strategy to work around them so that, depending on each consumer’s degree of engagement, they are satisfied. A large number of the personnel working on your recovery have some level of experience interacting with these systems. As you work toward a sustained recovery, you won’t be working in isolation.

Meet Lori Roper:
I am a Mental Health Professional (MHP) and a Children’s Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) with more than a decade of experience supporting vulnerable families across all levels of social services and community mental health. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development from Washington State University Vancouver, with a double minor in Psychology and Gerontology, along with a Certificate in Case Management. I went on to complete two Master’s degrees through Walden University, strengthening my foundation in trauma‑informed, person‑centered care.
I also hold a RUBI Train‑the‑Trainer certification, allowing me to support caregivers of children with challenging behaviors, including autism. Across every role I’ve held Clinical Care coordinator, clinician, supervisor, WISe leader, and Director of clinical Services, my commitment has remained the same: to honor each person’s story and to help them navigate systems that often feel overwhelming or unforgiving.

Person‑centered care is grounded in four essential vantage points:
1. Care must be based on the unique person and their right to health.
Every individual deserves support that recognizes their inherent worth and God‑given dignity.
2. Care should focus on a person’s abilities and encourage activity.
We lift people up by seeing what they can do not what they lack.
3. Care must be coherent and connected.
Support should be coordinated, consistent, and easy to navigate.
4. Care must always be delivered with dignity, compassion, and ethical integrity.
Every interaction should reflect respect, humility, and the belief that each person’s journey matters.
