Patti Katz Black
Meet Patti
I’m a recovery group facilitator who creates a sense of safety where honest self-observation, vulnerability, and personal insight can emerge. Through music, lyric exploration, storytelling, expressive writing, and open discussion, I help people recognize their voices as worthy of being heard. I bring my own lived recovery experience to every group, offering experiential practices and practical tools that support connection, empowerment, and continued abstinence.
I create recovery groups people remember.
“Patti has continued to make an extraordinary impact on the lives of our patients.”
