Kevin Estel
Recovery Coach
“My mission is to walk alongside clients, empowering them to grasp recovery more fully, connect with their spirituality, and strengthen their inner resources to sustain long-term health and well-being.”
Kevin Estel serves as a Recovery Coach at Lighthouse, where he supports clients through the daily work of building a foundation in recovery. Kevin is a Lighthouse alumnus who struggled with active addiction to drugs and alcohol for over 15 years. Originally from Northeast Ohio, he came to Dallas for treatment and found a community that changed the trajectory of his life.
After completing the program, Kevin knew he wanted to stay connected to the work that had given him a second chance. He brings several years of experience in the recovery field, including roles focused on patient support, crisis management, and helping clients navigate the transition from treatment back into daily life. His own journey through addiction and recovery gives him a firsthand understanding of what clients are facing – and a genuine investment in their success.
Kevin’s experience – both as someone who walked through the program and as someone who has supported others through it professionally – gives him a unique perspective on what clients and families are going through. He brings that understanding into his work as a Recovery Coach every day, meeting clients where they are and helping them build the structure, accountability, and connection that make lasting recovery possible.
