Meet Our Team

Our Team Represents True Professionalism and Authenticity.

All of our coaches are trained through either CHOICES or CCAR PRC Training,
with many holding multiple industry-leading coaching certifications at the state and national level.

Why Should I Care?

Our mission is to empower people to RISE and THRIVE beyond their circumstances. Every day we serve those in challenging situations using a just, inclusive, equity-grounded, trauma-informed, healing-centered approach.

We envision a world where all people heal. Our purpose is to bring hope, healing, and guided direction to those navigating recovery and life.

Our community is built from people with living experience in recovery, giving us a deep understanding of the obstacles that come with building a sustainable recovery.

A Peer Recovery Coach is an individual who uses their personal experience with recovery from substance use
disorders (SUD) or mental health conditions to support and guide others on their recovery journey.

These coaches provide non-clinical assistance that focuses on removing barriers to recovery, enhancing the recovery process, and empowering individuals to achieve sustained wellness.

The main functions of a coach are:

  • Support & Guidance
  • Mentorship & Modeling
  • Resource Connection
  • Advocacy
  • Empowerment

There is no legal requirement or governance at the state level in Colorado for someone who calls themselves a "Peer Recovery Coach" to have education or training in the field to provide support.

Credentials mean a lot.
They show that the person you choose to trust during a vulnerable moment in life has met professional standards in behavioral health, along with their lived recovery experience.

HardBeauty peers go above and beyond in educational excellence by pursuing the top certifications available for the profession in Colorado.

Recovery is not just about giving up substances. Recovery is a lifestyle.

It’s making the changes in your life that bring you from survive to thrive. If you want to see what recovery looks like here, look at every member of the HardBeauty family. We are all a peer in recovery. We have been there and have come out of the depths to rise above our circumstances and thrive. We have been through the hard to emerge into the beauty, and we do this every day.

We walk beside each and every person who joins us with love, encouragement and unconditional support. You never have to lower your expectations. You can have the life you want, and with our support, you are well on your way. Take that first step today.
