Today, we broke ground on Longleaf Lodge and it felt like exactly that. Roots going down. Something real taking shape.
We are so grateful to Commissioner Boswell and every single person who showed up today to stand with us in this work. Your presence reminded us why we do this and who we do it for.
Longleaf Lodge is more than a building. It’s a place where people will find their footing, catch their breath, and begin again. We can’t wait to open these doors.
More to come. Stay with us.

Meet Whitney Parr, Clinical Director at Longleaf Recovery Huntsville, and honestly? She might be the coolest person in the room. She stays grounded by surrounding herself with people who tell her the truth. She meets every client exactly where they are, without judgment and without rushing the process. And when she clocks out? She's painting, rolling dice in a D&D campaign, and cruising on a Honda Shadow.

We are so proud to have Whitney leading our clinical team in Huntsville. She brings the kind of heart and honesty this work requires every single day.

We are so excited to formally introduce you to Josh Smith!

Josh serves as a Counselor Assistant at Longleaf Huntsville and brings a thoughtful, grounded presence to our team.

He shared that beginning each day with prayer and meditation helps him stay centered, no matter what the day brings. That intentional start carries into his work through active listening, empathy, and a deep respect for each person’s journey.

Before deciding to work towards his Master of Social Work, Josh completed his undergraduate degree in philosophy and technical writing. His background continues to inform the way he communicates, supports clients, and approaches complex situations with care.

At Longleaf Recovery and Wellness, meeting people where they are is more than a phrase. It is a daily commitment to honoring each individual’s story.
