Lisa R.
Certified Peer Supporter
Hi. I am a parent of an adult child with a diagnosis of BP1 with Mania and Psychotic features. I know how traumatizing all the pieces to this relationship can be. We, as caregivers, deserve a place where others may know how we feel and can offer support and confidentiality in your journey. I hope to help others reestablish a "New Normal," by developing dual boundaries and recognizing "triggers" in the relationship. I am a certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist. My heart has always been in lending support and my lived experience is what has truly inspiring me. You do not have to go through this journey alone. Note** I have had trouble connecting with support requests through the Hey Peers network. For support please email me directly at LNRosauer@comcast.net.
Marina H.
State Certified Peer Supporter
Hi, I'm Rina and I have been diagnosed with BPD and PTSD. I find it hard to talk about myself sometimes, as it feels like these diagnoses are the only accurate ways to describe myself. I don't always feel like a whole person, but I am. Sometimes I am extroverted, most of the time I am not. I love extremely hard, and since I feel everything in the extremes, when I experience something lovely, or something new, it's a euphoric, movie scene feeling! Usually happens when I am outdoors or having a sweet moment with a loved one. I am a writer, I like to sing, I love long walks and talks. I love to listen and learn through shared experiences. I feel especially drawn to supporting others and I hope to do that here.

Charity S.
Certified Peer Supporter
Hi I am a FE CPRSR Supervisor and a Certified MRT Facilitator. I have 15 years of sobriety . I ran the streets for 15 years using and selling drugs. Until one day I got a federal indictment . I fought for my freedom, the Government wanted to sentence me to life in Federal prison for dealing drugs. Only by the grace of God , I got sentenced to 151 months (12 yrs 7 months). I now use my past experiences , traumas , addictions, spirituality and knowledge to try and help others in the same or similar situations. The good news is the human mind is resilient! It can be trained over and over again if you only put in the work!
Chelsea M.
State Certified Peer Supporter
I’m a Certified Recovery Support Peer Specialist, Mental Health Peer Specialist, Certified Family Partner, and forensic peer specialist with a background in behavioral health, advocacy, training, and community support. Most of my work has centered around helping people navigate recovery, mental health challenges, re-entry, family systems, and disability-related advocacy with a trauma-informed and person-centered approach. Professionally, I’ve worked in both nonprofit and healthcare settings facilitating peer groups, coordinating services, mentoring individuals and families, and helping people connect to resources that genuinely improve quality of life. I’ve also trained peer professionals, spoken publicly on recovery and systemic issues, and helped develop wellness-focused programming grounded in empowerment, resilience, and social inclusion. Outside of work, I’m a mother to two boys, including a nonverbal autistic son who has taught me more about patience, advocacy, communication, and unconditional love than any classroom ever could. A lot of my passion for systems reform, accessibility, and psychological safety comes from lived experience — both personally and professionally. I’m also creative by nature. I enjoy designing murals, branding concepts, epoxy art, community awareness projects, and visual storytelling that connects people emotionally while still carrying a deeper message. I tend to gravitate toward projects that combine advocacy, humanity, and creativity in a way that feels authentic and impactful. At my core, I value resilience, honesty, inclusion, hope, and giving people dignity — especially during the moments when life has stripped it away from them.
Kelvin Y.
State Peer Recovery Specialist
I have been sober since March 6, 2009, and my life’s work is rooted in recovery, holistic healing and personal transformation. As an award-winning sound healer and co-founder of SoulCare Love, LLC, I draw upon both my lived experience and professional training to support individuals navigating addiction recovery, mental health challenges, and the journey of rediscovering purpose and well-being. My recovery journey was shaped through deep reflection, holistic practices, and intentional inner work. While incarcerated, I experienced peer support and witness firsthand the power of human connection, compassion, and community in the healing process. I also was introduced to sound healing, which helped me find moments of peace, clarity, and emotional balance during one of the most difficult periods of my life. These experiences transformed my understanding of recovery. During that same time, I realized that healing is not only about abstaining from substances, but about learning how to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with our emotions, rebuild relationships, and rediscover meaning and purpose in our lives. These experiences transformed my understanding of recovery. I realized that healing is not only about abstaining from substances, but about learning how to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with our emotions, rebuild relationships, and rediscover meaning and purpose in our lives. Through peer support and sound healing I strive to create spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their own paths toward healing and transformation. I have extensive trainings on sound healing and certifications in recovery coaching through the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR), recovery support specialist through Recovery University, Intentional Peer Support (IPS), and Black Mental Health & Healing Justice Peer Support through BEAM and extensive training on sound healing. I have shared my lived expertise at national and international events including the CCAR Multiple Pathways to Recovery Conference, Recovery 2.0, the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas, Indie Yoga in San Francisco, the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, and the Connecticut Women’s Consortium. For me, recovery is about more than sobriety—it is about reclaiming your life, rediscovering your voice, and nurturing whole-person well-being. Through holistic practices like peer support and sound healing, I strive to help individuals reconnect with their inner strength and build lives rooted in dignity, purpose, and hope.

I have a strong passion for supporting Veterans and individuals navigating PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and other challenges related to trauma, stress, and major life transitions. My background in law enforcement and crisis-focused environments has given me experience working alongside people facing difficult and high-stress situations, and I bring a trauma-informed, recovery-oriented approach to the groups I facilitate. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where everyone feels comfortable sharing, feels heard, and knows they’re not alone in their journey toward healing and growth.
Antonio M.
Certified Peer Supporter
You're here because something hurts, and if your pain is real, you belong here. I'm Antonio, though most people call me Tony or ACE. I'm a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPS-P) who has lived with complex PTSD, anxiety, and bipolar depression, and I've walked through my own recovery as someone who lived it: the setbacks, the 2 AM panic, the mornings when getting out of bed felt like lifting a building. I know what it means to sit with what's hard and not know if you'll make it through—and I also know you can. I'm not here to fix you. You're not broken. I'm here to walk alongside you while you figure out what comes next, at your pace, on your terms, with presence and empathy and the kind of understanding that only comes from having been there yourself. I trained through the Academy of Peer Services, hold my CPS-P credential from the New York State Certification Board, and bring over three decades of lived experience alongside eight years working in mental health and addiction recovery. You don't have to have the right words or have it figured out. You just have to show up. Book a session and let's start where you are.
