DAN RAGETTÉ, CCMI-I, CCAR
| Co-Founder and Owner - Harmony Haus, LLC
As co-founder and owner of Harmony Haus Sober Living and Integrate Therapeutic Recovery Coaching, Dan is a well-respected leader in the field of addiction recovery and is in long-term recovery himself. He got into the field after he realized he could be a victim of his addiction or navigate his way through recovery and take on life sober from a position of mental health, clarity, and strength. Navigating his way through recovery, Dan left his career as Commercial Construction Project Manager to pursue his passion for helping others recover from the disease of addiction and take their lives back. On his journey to recovery, Dan came up with his belief that sobriety is about getting excited for life again by setting goals to work towards and achieve, learning to have fun in sobriety, and figuring out your recovery program.
Dan holds a Bachelors of Business Administration Degree in Real-Estate Finance & Development from The University of Texas at San Antonio and has completed his 1st year of graduate studies in the Masters of Business Administration program at the University of the Incarnate Word. Dan’s recovery support certifications include: CCMI-I (Certified Case Manager Interventionist) & CCAR (Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery) Certified Recovery Coach.
