Private 1-on-1 recovery coaching for high-functioning people who haven't lost everything yet. And don't plan to.
"Do you want to just sit around and talk about your problems, or do you want to do something about them?"
I'm not here to label you, diagnose you, judge you or fix you. I am an instigator of change. If you could relate to any of what follows, let's talk.
I won't dig through your past. I don't do spiritual 12-step programs or public group meetings. I intervene before things get worse.
Whether you want to cut back, take a break, or stop entirely, there's a path, and I build it around your life, your schedule, your definition of success.
"Life can get difficult and overwhelming, but not every issue requires digging up your past. You want results, not a narrative about how or why things became the way they are."
BUILD A LIFE
YOU DON'T
need to
ESCAPE FROM.
I've seen it too many times. People waiting until they've lost their job, their marriage, their health. The earlier you move, the better the outcome. Always.
Every program is built on the same foundation: solution-focused, action-oriented, and designed for people who are done talking about change and ready to execute.
You haven't lost everything yet, but you're sliding, and you know it. This isn't a casual chat to unpack your childhood. It's an intensive, high-proximity defensive line built to halt a spiral before it destroys your business, your family, or your health.
The fire is out, but maintenance is where most people fail. They feel "fixed," stop executing, and slide right back into old patterns. The Cadence Retainer is your ongoing monthly accountability container, built for high-performers who need an objective professional in their corner.
If your travel schedule is volatile, your business operates on erratic cycles, or you simply want to bank a block of high-level support to use exactly when you need it. You are buying 12 hours of direct, unfiltered access on your terms.
Isolation is a liability. An invitation-only group night for alumni and active, stable clients who speak the same language. No public meetings, no hand-wringing venting sessions, zero judgment. Just a solution-focused room of high-functioning peers keeping each other sharp.
For the corporate executive, business owner, or high-profile individual who cannot leave their post for 30 days to sit in a residential facility. A fully customized, 100% confidential, white-glove recovery and performance architecture built entirely inside your active life.
Not ready for a full program yet? Single sessions are available. Want to take it outside? Walk 'n Talk sessions happen on the trails around Vernon. Movement, fresh air, and a real conversation. Always an option. Always encouraged.
Ask yourself: What brought you here? Then ask yourself: What will happen if things don't change? If you want the results, you need to jump in with both feet. ARE YOU IN?
Steve speaks directly about addiction recovery, high performance, and what it actually takes to change. No rehearsed lines.
"To change who you are, you need to become who you are."
I am an instigator of change. Guiding people in transforming their lives is my greatest passion. With over a decade of experience in the field of mental health and addiction, I've helped hundreds of individuals at various stages of change and recovery.
I know what it's like to be high-functioning and quietly losing the battle. I spent years there. That experience, and what it took to get out, is the foundation of everything I do with clients.
I'm direct. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. If you aren't where you want to be, if you're feeling stuck, lacking purpose, direction, or fulfillment, let's talk.
The Approach
Therapy doesn't have to be stale, sterile, or stiff. My sessions are direct, action-oriented, and yes, actually enjoyable. You'll leave feeling empowered, not analyzed.
Raw, honest conversations about addiction, recovery, high performance, and everything in between. No scripts. Just real talk about the things people are afraid to say out loud.
THE RIPPLE EFFECT
with Steve Braun
“Your voice for growth and change”
As a former firefighter used to helping others, Steve was able to break through my walls and show me how to help myself!
I was amazed at how quickly I saw results just by changing my mindset and taking action.
Steve has helped my quality of life improve tremendously. Through pushing my level of honesty, we broke through personal roadblocks that multiple other counsellors were not able to achieve. He doesn't give me the answers. He helps me find them himself.

Session one. I figure out where you're at, what you want, and what's actually in the way. This shapes everything that comes next.
Determined, massive action. Sessions, homework, accountability, and real-time support for the moments that don't wait. Results from week one.
