Kim Rivera, CADC, CCDP, is FHS’s senior counselor, having been part of the FHS family from the onset. Prior to starting at FHS, Kim worked in intensive outpatient, methadone maintenance and was an addictions counselor/supervisor at POWER/CYF whose mission was family preservation and reunification. Kim is currently “semi-retired” and has difficulty considering full time retirement due to her compassion for others and seeing the struggles and battles fought by those we serve. Kim understands the challenges this disease presents and finds nothing more rewarding and fulfilling than witnessing success and knowing it all started with possibly a seed she planted. In Kim’s free time, she enjoys going to the gym and in particular, swimming; spending time with family, and caring for and training dogs, especially German Shepherds
for therapy work.
