Peer Recovery Specialist

Kimberly Gaines

I have been in recovery for 16 months now.

I am a Peer Recovery Specialist for The Club House adolescent program here at The Tree of Hope.

Fun fact about me is I love being a mom. I have two kids that I have been able to grow with since I have been in recovery and I’m loving every moment and every new memory we are making. All that is possible because I choose recovery first everyday, one day at a time!

Peer Recovery Specialist

Xavier LeMay

My name is Xavier, I am a Youth Peer Support specialist at Tree of Hope Association.

I'm coming up on 2 years of sobriety. I love working in this field because it allows me to give back what was so freely given to me. I feel it is very important to have support for youth, there are many people getting sober at an older age and that are changing the world, imagine if they got sober younger.

Peer Recovery Specialist

Olivia Thompson

My name is Olivia and I am a Peer Recovery Coach. I have 6 years of continuous sobriety. My recovery is based around the 12-step system so I love spending time with people with the same lived experience as me. Being with ToH gives me an opportunity to learn about myself and others every single day. When I am not with my husband or friends, I am with my family or gaming.

Peer Recovery Specialist

Steven Bevins

I'm Steven, and I'm proud to serve as a Youth Peer Recovery Specialist at Tree of Hope. With over 3 years of sobriety, i use my lived experience to connect with young people and support them through their own recovery journeys. I'm passionate about helping the youth navigate life's challenges and believe in guiding them toward a path of strength, purpose, and self-worth. My main goal at Next Gen is to be a steady and understanding presence--someone who listens, believes in them, and helps shape a brighter trajectory for their future. Outside of work, I enjoy riding motorcycles, and going to the gym (more for my mental health than anything else!). My favorite color is red, symbolizing energy and resilience. Qualities i hope to inspire others. I love my comeback story, and am here to help others build their own.
