Meet Ava! 🐶

As Chief Barketing Officer, Ava brings smiles to our facility with her daily fashion shows and sweet personality. Don't let her size fool you - she takes her job seriously:

"I come to work every day in my best outfits and hang out in the office. Patients can visit me if they want some puppy therapy, but no pressure - I totally get that not everyone is a dog person. My specialty is providing stress relief and the occasional laugh when someone sees my latest outfit. Plus, as a Coton de Tulear, I have a cotton-like coat that's actually hair rather than fur, so I'm hypoallergenic for those who do want to say hi. It's a pretty great gig - I get to look cute, make people smile, and still be home for dinner."

Meet Courtney! 💕

As Marketing Director, Courtney brings years of experience and a deep understanding of our mission to everything she does. Her passion for helping families find the support they need for themselves or their loved ones during difficult times drives her work:

"I've had the unique opportunity to see Williamsville from many different perspectives over the years, and that has shaped how I approach marketing. Whether I'm working on our website, developing marketing strategies, or finding new ways to make our services more accessible, I think about the person on the other side who might be desperately searching for answers. My goal is to ensure people can find us when they need us most, and that they understand recovery is possible. I've seen countless success stories, and being able to help connect others to that possibility is what makes this work so meaningful."

Meet Teresa! 🤍

Teresa has grown with Williamsville through various roles and now serves as Intake Coordinator. Her warmth and dedication to creating a welcoming environment set the tone for each person's journey:

"Since joining Williamsville Wellness, I've had the opportunity to grow from my first role as a residential manager to now serving in a variety of supportive capacities wherever I'm needed. I truly love welcoming new patients- it brings me joy to be one of the first faces they see when they arrive.

From day one, I was inspired by the strong foundation that Mr. Cabaniss and the leadership team built here. The environment was unlike anything I had ever experienced. From the professionalism of the therapists and counselors to the dedication of the house managers and staff, I knew this was a special place.

And let's not forget the chefs—not cooks, but Chefs! The quality and care put into every part of this program is incredible.

Working at Williamsville Wellness has not only been a job—it's a calling. I'm honored to help create a welcoming, supportive environment for each patient. Just as this place made me feel at home, I hope I can help others feel that same sense of comfort and hope."
