Brad Waldo

Brad Waldo has worked with people of all ages struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders since 2012. Brad has been in continuous sobriety since 2011 and has provided services in residential, outpatient, and private settings. He founded a non-profit organization in 2012 that brings recovery support services to artists, crew, and fans alike at large music festivals around the United States. Brad attended University of California, Berkeley and graduated with a double major in rhetoric and religious studies — working mostly on modern philosophy, political theory, and critical theory.

Brad has worked with adults, young adults, teens, families, executives, athletes, and touring musicians in his career in substance abuse and mental health treatment. He’s worked as a mentor, in discharge planning and alumni services, then in admissions, outreach, family programming, and marketing. Since 2019, he’s focused on mentoring and care management, aiming to provide high-impact long-term support for individuals and families — working alongside each person with the goal of celebrating one year of continuous sobriety.

Brad’s academic, professional, and personal background provides each client and their family with an effective, custom, grounded approach to recovery. By balancing each person’s goals, values, and interests, recovery is cherished and protected — not a punishment to be endured. Recovery is the absence of drugs and alcohol, but also a way of life.
