Addiction recovery coach

I am an addiction recovery coach helping people struggling with chemical and/or behavioral addictions. Prior to coaching I was a pediatrician for over 18 years taking care of children from birth to 21 years old. My own struggles with addiction, specifically pornography addiction ended my medical career prematurely. I am now in recovery for over 3 years and thankfully doing well. I learned about a new way to help people with my medical knowledge, clinical experience and journey through addiction and recovery as an addiction recovery coach.

Prior to beginning my career I completed my pediatric residency training at North Shore University Hospital-Long Island Jewish Hospital in Long Island, NY. I graduated from the State University of NY @ Stonybrook medical school and completed my BA in psychology at NYU.

I have a unique combination of skills and experience for an addiction recovery coach. It's rare to find a recovery coach with a medical degree, almost 20 years of clinical experience, a personal history of addiction and personal and professional experience with the legal system. Through my personal and professional knowledge and experience I am able to individualize the coaching care I provide to each of my clients.

Dr Kenneth Markowitz on Rebuilding Life After Addiction | 1,552

Dr Kenneth Markowitz on Rebuilding Life After Addiction | 1,552 Dr. Kenneth Markowitz understands addiction from both sides of the conversation, as a physician who treated patients for nearly two decades and as someone who faced his own battle with addiction. A former pediatrician and now an addiction recovery coach, Kenneth brings a rare combination of medical expertise, clinical experience, and lived recovery to the people he serves. After pornography addiction unexpectedly derailed a successful medical career, he was forced to confront the very challenges he had spent years helping others navigate. That experience became the catalyst for a new calling. Today, Kenneth helps individuals struggling with both chemical and behavioral addictions move beyond shame, isolation, and self destructive patterns toward lasting recovery and personal freedom.
