Interventionist and Clinical Case Manager
Aaron is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Certified Professional Coach, and a National Certified Addictions Counselor with a specialization in intervention and case management.
Aaron has worked in the behavioral health field since 2011. He began his career as a driver for a treatment center. Through the start of his career he found joy in connecting with others. He was promoted to detox coordinator specializing in mental health and substance use disorders. He chose to further his education to become a counselor and sought out opportunities to make a larger impact in the lives of others. During that time he founded a nationally recognized company that specializes in intervention and case management. He later sold this company and moved to Baton Rouge.
He spent the first fifteen years of his professional career in the music industry. The culture of the music industry exacerbated his use of drugs and alcohol which progressed into full blown addiction. He eventually lost his career and almost lost his life. At this time, his family hired a world-renowned interventionist. The interventionist educated his family in a way that helped them realize how they unwittingly participated in the cycle of his addiction. Out of fear and desperation, what they thought were acts of love and support were actually enabling the progression of his addiction. Aaron’s family needed to face some hard truths and learn to set boundaries if he was going to recover. Ultimately, this was life changing for Aaron. The interventionist is now Aaron’s mentor and friend.
Aaron currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with his wife and three boxers. He enjoys playing golf, traveling, attending sporting events, and spending time with family.

Anna became a professional in the industry in 2012 with an intensive detoxification and residential treatment center treating those who suffer with addiction and co-occurring disorders.

She remained there for approximately three years and during that time she assumed multiple roles, one of the most influential as a primary counselor.
