Recovery Coaching
What Is Recovery Coaching?
Recovery Coaching is a strength-based, healing-centered form of support for individuals and families seeking meaningful, lasting change around addiction and recovery. It offers personalized guidance beyond what traditional therapy alone can provide, meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them as they build a life they truly want.
Kim Hurd offers Recovery Coaching services for individuals in recovery from alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviors, as well as for family members and loved ones who are impacted by addiction.
Recovery Coaching is a collaborative partnership. The individual directs their own recovery journey, while the coach brings professional experience, lived understanding, and practical tools to support sustainable change. Together, you create clarity, momentum, and a plan that aligns with your values, strengths, and vision for the future.
Rather than focusing solely on problems of the past, Recovery Coaching emphasizes:
- Honoring personal values and making principle-based decisions
- Creating a clear, realistic plan of action
- Using current strengths to reach future goals
- Building confidence, self-trust, and personal responsibility
Your Recovery Coach also serves as an accountability partner, helping you stay connected to your intentions, your growth, and your long-term recovery goals.
How Is Recovery Coaching Different?
Recovery Coaches are non-clinical professionals. Unlike licensed therapists or addiction counselors, coaches do not diagnose or treat addiction or mental health conditions. Instead, Recovery Coaching focuses on empowerment, personal responsibility, and forward-focused change.
That said, a Recovery Coach can play a vital role in:
- Helping clients access clinical services when needed
- Coordinating care with therapists, treatment centers, and support systems
- Bridging the gap between treatment and real-world living
Recovery Coaching is also peer-based, which means Kim is in long-term recovery herself — bringing lived experience, credibility, and deep compassion into the work. This creates a unique level of understanding and trust that often cannot be replicated in purely clinical settings.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
Whether you are seeking recovery, already in recovery but feeling stuck and ready to rise to the next level, or longing to create more meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in your life — you don’t have to do it alone.
And if you are someone who has been affected by another person’s addiction — a partner, parent, child, or loved one — you deserve support too. Healing is not just for the person struggling with substances. Recovery is for the whole system.
Recovery Coaching offers a space to:
- Break through what’s holding you back
- Clarify what you truly want
- Build a life that feels worth living
- Find strength, direction, and renewed hope
If you’re ready to take that next step — for yourself or for someone you love — I invite you to reach out today.
