Lance Nabers, Lance Warren Nabers

25 years. 24,000+ people helped. From fishing villages in Alaska to your living room — Lance Nabers, LPC brings the kind of experience most platforms can only promise.

I didn't start with a platform. I started on an island in Alaska.
One week after completing my master's degree in 2001, I sold everything I owned, packed up my wife and three kids, and moved to a remote fishing village in Petersburg, Alaska. No blueprint. No safety net. Just a calling.

What followed was 25 years of showing up for people others couldn't reach — foster children in state care, Native American communities in New Mexico, families in the Texas desert, immigrants and refugees in Connecticut health centers, addiction survivors rebuilding their lives, couples on the edge, and 90-year-olds who just needed someone to talk to.

I grew from therapist to Clinical Director, to Statewide Director overseeing 16 offices, to Chief Behavioral Health Officer of a Federally Qualified Health Center, to University faculty, to national speaker and published researcher. Then I came back to what I love most — sitting with one person and helping them change their life.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Lance joined Lionrock Recovery and ran addiction groups three days a week for people across the entire country — at the exact moment when isolation, grief, and substance use were colliding. That chapter wasn't just about sobriety. It was about helping people find joy again.

This isn't a platform. This isn't an algorithm. It's one experienced therapist who has actually done this work, everywhere, for everyone — for 25 years.
