Read bio

Joe Wainhaus is the Executive Director of Avenues Recovery Center at South Bend. Currently living in South Bend, Indiana but native to Chicago, Joe pursued his studies at Ohr Sameach Judaic College, where he earned a First Talmudic Degree. His passion for addiction treatment stems from his belief in second chances and the transformative power of recovery. Joe is inspired by the potential of every individual to discover new opportunities and rebuild their lives in ways they might have never imagined. Driven by a commitment to always do what’s right and see the best in others, Joe approaches his work with a heart-centered perspective that emphasizes respect and understanding for each person's unique journey. He strongly believes that those who find themselves in positions to help others are there for a reason, and he strives to fulfill this purpose daily.

Joe feels there’s a unique spirit among those who work in addiction treatment—a common drive that’s rooted in compassion, resilience, and a desire to make a positive impact. For Joe, coming to work each day means contributing to a supportive team that is committed to doing good for others and continually creating ripples of positive change in the world.

Outside of his work, Joe enjoys spending time with his family and exploring new places through travel and sightseeing. He also loves cheering on his favorite football team.

Lead Counselor

Read bio

Yessica Lawson, LCSW, serves as the lead counselor at Avenues Recovery Center at South Bend. Originally from Mexico, she has been a resident of the Michiana area for over 25 years. She is a proud alumna of Indiana University, and holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work, with a focus on Mental Health and Addictions. Yessica is a dedicated lifelong learner, continually seeking to deepen her knowledge of mental health, addiction, and the brain’s response to recovery.

Yessica's passion for helping others drew her into the field of social work, and as a Latina, bilingual, and a person of color, much of her professional career has been focused on supporting minority communities. The impact of addiction within these communities—and its effects on families—shaped her commitment to aiding those who struggle with substance use and providing support to their loved ones through the journey of recovery.

Outside of her work, Yessica enjoys a variety of activities, from reading and gardening to playing games with her three children, aged 15, 10, and 5. Her family also includes their playful Westie, Loki, and they often open their home to foster children. When time allows, they love to travel together, with Disney World being a favorite destination.

Yessica is honored to walk alongside individuals and families as they navigate the journey of healing and recovery, committed to building a brighter future together.
