​

Janelle Martin is a married mother of two children, living in Magnolia, TX. Her youngest child, Regan, started using drugs at age 16 and entered a treatment program at The Pathway Program in Tempe, AZ at age 17. Subsequently, Janelle found herself also in recovery in order to better understand and help her daughter. Her recovery consisted of weekly phone meetings with a Pathway counselor, weekly parent meetings, working a 12-step program, and reading a multitude of books on addiction and recovery. She facilitates weekly PAL (Parents of Addicted Loved Ones) meetings at Cypress Therapy and Counseling in Cypress, TX. She works as an Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and an IASIS Certified Provider with The Mind Connection, LLC in Cypress, TX, providing addiction counseling and IASIS MicroCurrent Neurofeedback. MicroCurrent Neurofeedback is a natural, chemical-free and painless way to help the brain heal from many conditions: addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, migraines, concussions/TBI, autism and many more. Helping parents and families recover from the devastating effects of substance use disorder is something Janelle feels compelled to do, because she views her own family's recovery as an incredible gift. 

Together, we share our experiences of trauma, substance use, denial, brokenness, fear, and also our healing journey in the hope that we can offer hope to the hopeless, and education for those who misunderstand addiction and who it affects.
