Meet Whitley Pere, Program Supervisor at Avenues Recovery Center at Covington.
Hailing from Slidell, Louisiana, Whitley obtained her Registered Addiction Counselor certification through the Louisiana Addictive Disorder Regulatory Authority Board, and is currently pursuing her CCS to supervise Counselors in Training.
Whitley's personal struggles with substance use, coupled with witnessing loved ones battle addiction, led her to choose a career in this field. After achieving sobriety, she began her journey as a Behavioral Health Technician, steadily advancing to her current role as Program Supervisor at Avenues.
For Whitley, the most rewarding aspect of her work is witnessing individuals transform from despair to hope and witnessing families reunite.
Outside of work, Whitley cherishes spending quality time with her husband, two daughters, and beloved pug Frankie. She enjoys outdoor adventures like four-wheeler riding at ATV parks and indulges in hobbies such as listening to podcasts, reading, and shopping in her spare time.
