Paul Lee was a highly recruited high school football player in Southern California and went on to compete at the Division I collegiate level.

During his athletic career, multiple injuries led to the use of prescription pain medication, which eventually progressed into addiction to both opioids and alcohol.

As his substance use escalated, Paul experienced a loss of direction and struggled with depression.

Through a profound shift in lifestyle and purpose, Paul began his own recovery journey—one grounded in mindfulness, self-awareness, and a commitment to physical and emotional health. This transformation became the foundation for his professional calling.

With over 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field, Paul has dedicated his career to supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.

He is deeply passionate about guiding clients through the recovery process, helping them build sustainable, healthy lifestyles rooted in intention, accountability, and long-term wellness.
