Courtnie Wittkopf
LPC, LCDC, Founder
Courtnie brings an insider perspective shaped by experience across multiple levels of addiction treatment, including residential and outpatient programs and sober living environments, as well as lived experience within her family of origin and marriage. This dual lens allows her to approach clients with professional expertise and a personal understanding of the realities they face.
Raised around hardworking men who valued their roles as protectors and providers, Courtnie developed an appreciation for the unspoken weight carried in efforts to remain steady under pressure. That perspective shapes her approach to healing and change, honoring both strength and vulnerability.
Clients often describe her style as direct, genuine, and relatable. She appreciates the value of dry humor and, at times, joins in to break tension when healing starts feeling heavy. She believes humor, when used intentionally, can deepen connection and create room for healing that feels human.
Courtnie specializes in supporting individuals through active addiction, early sobriety, and long-term recovery, particularly those maintaining professional and family responsibilities while seeking change. She also works closely with couples navigating betrayal, substance use, attachment wounds, and communication breakdowns. Her approach integrates attachment-based therapy with practical coping skills, blending deep relational healing with sustainable day-to-day functioning.
At Peak Recovery & Wellness, she is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where clients can rise above old patterns, recover their sense of self, and reclaim a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
David Wittkopf
LPC, LCDC, Founder
David brings a grounded insider perspective shaped by experience across multiple levels of care, including boutique-style residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, and sober living environments. His understanding of addiction and recovery is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience, having completed long-term residential treatment in his mid-twenties and sustaining long-term recovery. This combination allows him to approach his work with credibility, humility, and deep respect for the complexity of change. David often works with those who have learned to survive through self-reliance, even when that strength has come at a personal cost.
David specializes in supporting individuals across all stages of recovery. He also works with clients navigating relationship challenges, low self-worth, and self-destructive patterns rooted in early life experiences, helping them understand how core beliefs, past dynamics, and a sense of belonging influence present-day choices.
His therapeutic approach is grounded in Adlerian therapy, emphasizing personal responsibility, social connection, and the development of meaning and purpose. By exploring the “why” behind behaviors and helping clients make sense of their life story, David supports insight-driven, sustainable change that aligns with each client’s values and goals.
At Peak Recovery & Wellness, David is committed to creating a steady, respectful, and honest therapeutic space where clients can rise above old patterns, recover their sense of self, and reclaim a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
