About Elemental Collaborative
Elemental Collaborative is a recovery coaching and support practice for individuals and families navigating addiction, recovery, and everything that comes after.
The name reflects how we approach the work. Recovery isn't a single event. It's a process that touches every part of a person's life — and rebuilding requires tending to all of them.
The Framework
We think about recovery across seven areas of life:
Addiction quietly hollows out each of these. Recovery, done well, builds them back. No single support alone — not meetings, not therapy, not medication — covers all of them. These supports are undeniably critical and people need a coordinated system of them. We help build one.
How It Started
Elemental Collaborative grew directly out of the founder's own recovery. After years of high-functioning addiction, followed by years of just addiction, multiple treatment attempts, and an eventual surrender, the experience of building a real recovery system made clear how much the coordination of different supports matters — and how rarely anyone helps a person build that intentionally.
The work began informally, helping people and families navigate situations the founder recognized firsthand. It has since grown into a formal practice serving individuals and families across Manhattan, Westchester County, Long Island, and Fairfield County, CT — and virtually with clients anywhere in the country.
