“As a nationally recognized interventionist and the owner of Full Circle Sober Living communities, I have spent almost three decades working with addiction and addiction centers, with great success and joy. I have been an intricate part of the recovering community in Marin County through Full Circle Living and my personal recovery. However, over the last decade, I began to see the need for mental health treatment in the Bay area. When Chris Hammet and Vicki Lucas approached me with their vision for a mental health treatment program, I felt like it was an outstanding collaboration. Adding Charlie Litchfield, with his years of experience building behavioral health programs, our team was complete. From the moment we met, our shared mission, passion for treatment and unparalleled combined experience, cemented a firm foundation, to build a premier behavioral health program, in the heart of the Bay Area. Being a founding member of Rosebay Behavioral Health has been a great pleasure and I am very proud of our team, our program and look forward serving families and individuals suffering with mental health illness, in the Bay Area and beyond.”
