Meet The Team

Tricia Parido – BS Psych, CATC, IMAC, NCPLC

I come from a place of great empathy and strong desire to empower people that are seeking a quality of life transformation. It is my passion to motivate individuals to achieve their full potential and return to a level of functioning that will provide them with great self-worth.  Having successfully sustained plenty of my own recovery achievements spanning more than 20 years I understand exactly how challenging and even frightening it is to embark on this journey. In fact I created this amazing program through my personal experiences of what works well, incorporated evidence based practices for the healing of co-occurring disorders and translated them into a unique quality of life coaching system that has proven to be successful time and time again.
