Marc Becker serves as a primary counselor at Avenues Recovery Center at Prince Frederick. Hailing from Kensington, Maryland, he is enrolled in Arizona State University and nearing the completion of his B.S. in Counseling and Applied Psychological Science with a focus on Substance Abuse and Addictions. He holds an ADT (Alcohol and Drug Trainee) status from Maryland.
Marc’s journey into the field of addiction counseling began after a successful career in the arts as a photographer and photojournalist. His personal experience as a peer in lifelong recovery inspired him to return to school to study the brain and addiction, driven by a desire to help others still struggling with addiction. Marc believes in an integrated approach, treating each person as an individual who needs a unique solution to find their path forward.
Marc shares his life with his best friend and wife, Gina. They recently moved to Maryland to be close to their children and grandchildren. Together, they have two Australian Shepherds, Izzy and Rosie, and enjoy spending time outdoors. Marc remains an avid photo enthusiast, with a particular passion for landscape photography.
