YouTube Dr. Kenneth Markowitz on Overcoming Addiction and Reclaiming Your Life | 1,658
Kenneth Markowitz believes recovery can become more than a way out of addiction. It can become the beginning of an entirely new way to use your experience, knowledge, and life in service of others.
An addiction recovery coach and former pediatrician, Kenneth works with people navigating chemical and behavioral addictions. His approach is shaped by an uncommon combination of medical training, nearly two decades of clinical experience, and his own deeply personal journey through addiction and recovery.
Kenneth earned his medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, completed his pediatric residency training at North Shore University Hospital-Long Island Jewish Hospital, and holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from New York University. That professional foundation, combined with lived experience, gives him a perspective that extends beyond theory alone.
Today, Kenneth's work reflects both sides of his story: the physician who spent years caring for others and the person who had to confront addiction, experience its consequences, and learn how to rebuild.
His message is simple: recovery does not erase the past, but it can change what you do with it. Your hardest experiences can become part of the knowledge, purpose, and perspective you use to help build what comes next.

An addiction recovery coach and former pediatrician, Kenneth works with people navigating chemical and behavioral addictions. His approach is shaped by an uncommon combination of medical training, nearly two decades of clinical experience, and his own deeply personal journey through addiction and recovery.
For more than 18 years, Kenneth practiced pediatrics, caring for patients from birth through young adulthood. His medical career ended prematurely as a result of his struggle with pornography addiction, forcing him to confront significant personal and professional consequences and ultimately begin rebuilding his life from a very different place.
Now more than three years into his own recovery, Kenneth has transformed what he learned into a new way of helping others. As a recovery coach, he combines his understanding of medicine, psychology, clinical care, addiction, recovery, and the legal system to provide individualized support based on the circumstances and challenges of each client.

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.
