INTERVENTIONS, INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, COMPANIONING, RECOVERY COACHING

Charisse Czaja is a Certified ARISE Interventionist (CAI), Certified Addiction Recovery Coach (CARC), and Recovery Coach Professional (RCP).

Charisse uses the ARISE® Comprehensive Care with Invitational Intervention process that introduces the loved one and family to a new life of recovery and healing. She believes the individual does not need to hit bottom before getting help. This is done by using a compassionate invitational, gradually escalating process of respectful, gentle family meetings that leads the loved one into the appropriate level of treatment and recovery.

Charisse provides private, individualized support, and works tirelessly with her clients on their path to a substance-free, purposeful life.

Charisse passionately helps her coaching clients design an integrated recovery plan that supports and promotes healing and overall wellness by collaborating and working synergistically with their clinical team.

Charisse and her husband David, both in long-term recovery, live in Rowayton, CT, 40 miles south of NYC, where they raised their sons & enjoy their two dogs and crazy cat. Charisse is a cancer survivor, wellness enthusiast and avid Pickleball player.
