Steve Pavlovich
Life Coach/Addiction Counselor in Bend, Oregon
In 2004, I retired from Hewlett-Packard as a vice president and corporate officer after a 30-year career in corporate finance, marketing, and investor relations roles. For the next 10 years, I held either full-time positions or consulting roles for several technology firms. I hold a BA in economics from the University of San Francisco and an MBA from Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
During my time in corporate life, one of the things I enjoyed was mentoring employees. While working full time, I volunteered at CityTeam Ministries in San Jose, mentoring residents in the Men’s Rescue and Recovery program. When I retired from business in 2014, I sought a new career where I could pursue this passion for guiding and helping others deal with life’s challenges.
Since then, I enrolled in the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) course of study, passed the State certification exam, and completed 3000+ hours of practical work as an addiction counselor at CityTeam. I received formal State certification as an addiction counselor in April 2018. Since then I have been in private practice as a life coach specializing in substance abuse challenges. In August 2022, I received Oregon state certification as an addiction counselor.

Professional Consultation
Family and Friends/Role of the Social Circle
My wife, Lea, and I have been married for 54 years with two grown sons and 5 grandchildren. We maintained a dual career household for many years. As such, I’m familiar with the challenges of maintaining work-life balance. It’s not easy. No marriage or family is perfect and it takes effort and planning to be successful.
Substance abuse is not limited to the person dealing with addiction. Spouses, children, parents, and friends are all affected. While providing primary counsel to the individual, I also provide counseling to families. All in a casual, friendly environment.
Consultation: Redesigning your Life
There are many treatment choices available to those seeking help—long-term or short-term residential programs, outpatient, individual counseling, to name a few. It can be confusing. Not to mention expensive. I am ready to assist you in designing and implementing a practical recovery strategy that best fits your unique situation. In parallel, we will take a deep dive into all aspects of your life--personal relationships, parenting, career, finances, social--with the objective of realigning everything that will support long-term recovery.
Aftercare Consulting/Relapse Prevention
Many professionals believe that the most effective way to address an ongoing addiction issue is enrollment in 6-12 month residential recovery program. While this may be true, it may not be feasible for many individuals. More often a 30-60 day program is chosen followed by an ongoing counseling relationship and support groups such as AA/NA. One of my focuses is on people that have returned to their careers after completing short-term recovery programs. My previous experience in the business world positions me well to help clients navigate this critical transition and beyond.
