My name is Addie and I am the Clinical Manager at our Shawano Outpatient Location. I also am a Licensed Therapist and provide services to children (6+) and adults with Mental Health and/or Substance Use issues. I facilitate adult intensive outpatient (IOP) groups and provide individual therapy with a specialization in complex trauma. My clinical approach integrates EMDR, Brainspotting and somatic-based processing to support nervous system healing and trauma resolution. I also incorporate creative expression into therapy, recognizing the importance of experiential and nonverbal pathways in recovery. My work focused on helping clients build safety, resilience and sustainable change.

When I am not working, I recharge through reading, time with family and being outdoors. Nature keeps me grounded, coffee keeps me going and video games remind me of the importance of play and restoration- values I also bring into my work with clients.

I became the change I once wished for. While none of us can rewrite our childhood experiences, we can heal, reclaim our voice and become the safe, grounded presence we needed when we were younger. That belief is at the heart of my work.

CORE Treatment Services is proud to partner with Shawano Area Matthew 25 in Shawano to expand access to recovery support in our community.

The group meets every Thursday from 4–8 p.m. at SAM25 (105 E. Richmond St., Shawano) and is open to anyone seeking support related to substance use or recovery.

Peer support specialists from CORE facilitate the group, creating a welcoming space where people can share, connect, and support one another in their recovery journeys.

CORE is proud to support youth-focused awareness and prevention efforts in the Menominee and Shawano area. Recently, members of our team connected with students at a local event focused on education, prevention, and building healthy communities.

Connecting with young people and being part of these conversations is such an important step in building healthier communities. We’re always grateful for opportunities to show up, share resources, and support students where they’re at.

Corrin recently represented CORE at a Career Day at Pioneer Elementary in Ashwaubenon, speaking with 3rd–5th grade students about careers in the mental health field. As the only therapist in attendance, she had the unique opportunity to introduce students to the importance of mental health and the role of counseling in supporting individuals and communities.

She shared that the students were incredibly engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and showed genuine curiosity about the field. It was also a great opportunity to highlight the work CORE does every day. Experiences like this reinforce the importance of continuing conversations around mental health in schools and inspiring the next generation.

I am a mom, a graduate MSW intern, and an AODA counselor who believes in meeting people exactly where they are. I value family, faith, personal growth, and finding meaning in difficult seasons of life. My own lived experiences with trauma and recovery deeply inform my empathy and approach to this work.

I provide substance use disorder (SUD) counseling and am currently completing my MSW internship while facilitating IOP groups. While I primarily work with adults, I am open to supporting clients of all ages. My favorite part of this work is connecting with others and creating a safe space where people feel seen, heard, understood, and supported as they reconnect with their strengths and inner resilience.

My decision to become a counselor was shaped by my personal history with addiction, trauma, and faith. I believe that even the most difficult chapters of our lives can carry meaning and purpose. I encourage those who are struggling to give themselves grace, trust the healing process, and remember that growth is rarely linear.

I believe counseling can benefit anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, numb, lost, or unsure of who they are becoming. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. In the short term, I hope clients feel safe, heard, and supported and leave sessions with at least one practical tool or new perspective. In the long term, I hope clients gain self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence, build lives they no longer feel the need to escape from, and experience freedom from shame, addiction, and unhealthy patterns.

I view healing as a holistic process that includes the mind, body, relationships, and spirit. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with compassion and accountability while honoring each client’s personal values and faith when meaningful to them. My goal is to help people rediscover their strengths, reclaim their voice, and remember that their story still has purpose.

Understanding the costs of treatment and how to pay for it can be hard. But, there are resources to help. Many programs take Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare, Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care, or private insurance.

CORE works with many insurance companies and would be happy to work with you to find out how to best receive services. Knowing what the costs are up front and finding treatment can put you at ease so you can focus on treatment. Health care professionals and programs are used to talking about costs, so don’t feel nervous about asking and being honest about what you can afford.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families across the lifespan with a special focus on youth mental health. My approach is rooted in a non-judgmental, person-centered, and trauma-informed perspective, with a deep belief in the transformative power of relationships. I know that every voice has inherent value and that collaboration is key to success. My years of experience have shown me that the most powerful healing happens through a therapeutic partnership, where clients are empowered to become the authors of their own stories.

I bring humor and humility to my practice, believing that laughter can be a powerful tool in the healing process. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their path forward with authenticity and hope for the future.

WHO ARE WE?

Core Treatment Services Inc. was founded in 2018 as a resolution to the lack of treatment and recovery resources within the Manitowoc community. Business partners Pastor Chris Gilbert and Carmen Persaud LPC CSAC ICS, combined Chris's experience in establishing two sober living homes and Carmen's twenty year history working with individuals facing mental health and substance use disorders to create a program that fills the persistent gaps in Manitowoc's treatment services.

Since the founding of CORE, the non-profit has had the fortune of many community supporters, including Brett Norrell, President and CEO of Holy Family Memorial- thus leading to the partnership of CORE Treatment Services Inc. and HFM. Both Chris and Carmen are passionate about their work and dedicated to being a part of the changing landscape in Manitowoc County. They are grateful to have partners in the community who are just as passionate.

The mission of CORE Treatment Services, Inc is to make Manitowoc County the healthiest recovery community in the state. We believe that when you treat the individual, you treat the community. When addicted individuals are healed holistically, at their CORE, families are reunited, employers get better employees, communities get leaders, and we change the trajectory of lives for generations. We start by treating the CORE of the individual, but the impact fans out to the entire community because of the profound ripple effect that healing from addiction has.
