Northern Minnesota Addiction Wellness Center

03/14/2026

Pi is a number that goes on forever—and in many ways, recovery is the same. It’s a lifelong journey of growth, healing, and learning to live one day at a time.
Today we’re celebrating the progress, perseverance, and courage it takes to keep going. Every sober day adds another piece to the beautiful equation of recovery.
Whether you're on day 1 or year 10, remember: your journey matters, and every step forward counts.

Serious question though:
If you had to pick a pie for your sober celebration, what would it be?
🥧 Apple
🥧 Chocolate cream
🥧 Pumpkin
🥧 Key lime
🥧 Something else?

💚 Meet Erica Strandlie, Counselor at NMAWC

We’re so excited to introduce Erica Strandlie, one of our incredible counselors here at NMAWC! Though she’s been counseling for a little over a year, she brings a wealth of experience from 28 years of teaching preschool. 🌟 Her heart for helping others has always been at the center of her work.

Erica’s journey into counseling is deeply personal—after overcoming her own struggles with alcohol addiction, she was inspired by the compassionate support she received in treatment. That experience sparked her calling to give back. In fact, while still in treatment, she began researching master’s programs and enrolled right away—fully committed to this new path of service. 💚

For Erica, the best part of being a counselor is witnessing the success of others in recovery. Seeing clients grow, thrive, and reclaim their lives not only inspires her, but also fills her cup—keeping her grounded, energized, and ready to continue supporting others on their journeys. ✨

We’re grateful every day for the wisdom, compassion, and dedication Erica brings to the NMAWC family! 🌿

💚 Meet Danielle Metteer, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor Supervisor at NMAWC

We are so grateful to have Danielle Metteer on our team! She’s been a counselor here for almost 6 years and has truly grown with our agency—building strong relationships with coworkers, clients, and the Bemidji community.

Addiction has touched Danielle’s life in many ways—both within her family and through her own personal struggles with addiction and mental health. Those experiences gave her a deep understanding of how isolating it can feel, but also how powerful recovery and support really are. They’re what inspired her to become a counselor and help others see that change is possible, no matter where they’re starting from. 🌟

One of Danielle’s favorite parts of counseling is watching those “lightbulb moments” when clients realize they can recover and start believing in themselves again. She says it’s incredibly inspiring to see people regain hope—and she also loves the humor. Even in hard times, laughter is one of the best coping skills, and her clients remind her of that every single day. 😊

We’re so thankful for the heart, passion, and perspective Danielle brings to NMAWC. She truly makes a difference in the lives of those she serves, and we’re lucky to have her on this journey with us! 💚
