Meet Dan.
He Connects the Community to Resilience.
Dan Sturnick, Director of Outreach & Certified Recovery Coach
Building a resilient life requires two things: access to the right support and a plan to move forward. Dan is responsible for both.
Director of Outreach
First and foremost, Dan is the bridge between our practice and the outside world. He manages our growth and builds the professional relationships that allow us to reach the people who need us most. If you see Resilience Therapy at an event or see us partnering with other providers, Dan is the one making those connections happen. He ensures the door is always open.
Recovery & Life Coaching
For clients specifically navigating addiction or major life transitions, Dan offers a second layer of specialized support. Through our partnership with Elemental Collective, he steps in to help engineer a life that supports recovery.
He combines his background as a mechanical engineer with deep lived experience to offer practical, structured coaching. He understands that for high-performers, recovery isn't just about stopping a behavior. It is about building a system that works.
Whether he is growing the practice or coaching a client, Dan is focused on one thing: building a foundation that lasts.
