About Me
Bob Ivanoff: From Personal Struggle to Professional Guidance
Welcome to Free To Be Me Recovery Coaching! My personal battle with addiction lasted nearly two decades, a journey filled with much loss, challenges but also profound growth and transformation. Through dedicated guidance from others in recovery and supported effort, I achieved sobriety and discovered a passion for helping others find their own path to recovery. With almost eight years in recovery, I leverage my experience and insight to guide others through the complexities of their addiction toward a purposeful and fulfilling life.
I am a Certified Life Coach and hold a professional credential as a Recovery Coach Professional and Facilitator from the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR). Additionally, I am recognized by the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation (CACCF) as a Certified Canadian Recovery Coach. My coaching methodology is strength based and rooted in the person-centered approach, where the client is the expert in their own life.
I am rooted in many recovery communities and have formed working relationships with therapists and councilors. I am on the Board of Directors for Recovery Coaches of Canada and sit on its Credentialing Committee
