Founder

Based locally in Western Washington, Ernest Hart has worked directly with those suffering from substance abuse disorder, mental health disorders, and criminal behavior therapeutically for 12 years. He has specific education in co-occurring disorders and treatment modalities along with criminogenic factors that are areas of risk. Ernest has been privy to numerous trainings in Motivational Interviewing, which is a tool to help families overcome ambivalence to change.

Ernest understands the pressure of confrontation with loved ones/employees that have lost their way, parents/owners that have lost their way, and family/business history that has been a challenge to overcome. He also deeply and personally understands the value of what can come out of such a courageous act to change human systems. He has lived experience in both being the adult child that has lost their way and the spouse that suffered from the response he had to his spouse being in active addiction. Ernest also sees how strengthening the family/business unit has exponential results for wellness to all involved. He is also a business owner who has been through the challenges of staff retention, training, culture creating, and scaling. He is trained in de-escalation techniques and works well in emotionally charged situations. He has a special intuitive skillset to work with those gravely challenged by untreated mental health and entrepreneurs who feel there is more needed. Ernest wants to aid in rediscovering the strength of all human systems.
