Robbie Shaw

Shaw has an undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he played on the junior varsity basketball team, and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Southern Maine. He is certified in Individual Recovery Coaching, Family Recovery Coaching, Harm Reduction Coaching and is a trained Sober Companion and Safe Transport from The Addictions Academy in South Florida. Shaw is also currently training as a Holistic Wellness Coach under the International Association of Wellness Professionals.

He feels that the many opportunities he has had to work with others continues to inform the techniques and strategies used to educate and guide clients. 

“Throughout my life, I've struggled with addiction.  I am not perfect.  I have fallen, gotten up, fallen and gotten up again. My biggest values in aiding in the recovery process are my deep passion for those struggling and my ability to relate.  I don’t consider myself to be wise, but along the way I have certainly gained some wisdom.”
