Teri Okon, Administrative Specialist at Konnect Wellness Center and Steps to Recovery Homes, brings warmth, dedication, and personal experience to her role. Originally from Florida, Teri gained valuable experience working in behavioral health facilities, deepening her understanding of mental health and addiction recovery.
Since joining the Steps to Recovery Homes team, Teri has embraced the philosophy that everyone has challenges to overcome on their journey through life. Her personal recovery journey, which began in March 2021, has given her a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. Teri often says that the best part of her recovery is “having my own mind back,” a sentiment that fuels her passion for helping others.
As a Behavioral Health Technician (BHT) and Peer Support Specialist (PSS), Teri works one-on-one with clients, providing compassionate support and guidance. Her role as an Administrative Specialist allows her to ensure the smooth operation of the organization while staying closely connected to the recovery community.
Teri finds immense joy in witnessing the transformative changes clients make as they build better lives for themselves. She believes that while the path to recovery can be challenging, it becomes unstoppable when individuals recognize their worth and commit to their growth.
