Greetings! My name is Dochon. I am a housing and employment coordinator here at Empowering Health.

My passion has always been to help people – especially those who are not fully capable of helping themselves. I have ten years of work experience in the drug and alcohol recovery industry, including co-occurring diagnosed clientele. I served as Residential Mentor, Programs Manager, and Supervisor and the last five years, as a Training Coordinator at a men’s rehabilitation center in Houston, Texas.
