THE SOBER ASSOCIATE

Katrina Cassara is the founder and sober companion for The Sober Associate, operating out of the greater Lake Tahoe area. She graduated from UCLA in 2010 with her bachelor’s degree in Political Science; after working on a few campaigns in Washington D.C., she realized her interests lay elsewhere. It was her work at Cliffside Malibu, a luxury drug and alcohol rehab center, that inspired her to enter into the field of addiction recovery. In 2016 Katrina founded The Sober Associate to be able to customize assistance for those struggling with the temptations of daily life presented by work, social or family engagements.

Having personal experience with inpatient rehab not only as a clinician, but also as a former client, Katrina has a unique understanding of the fears and challenges that accompany the start of recovery.  These experiences lead to the formation of her individually tailored support system for those new to recovery.  She will be with you as an advocate, friend and champion as you prepare to embark on this new chapter.  She is extremely happy to be able to help others like herself find the satisfaction, peace and ease that comes from sobriety. 

When Katrina is not working with recovery clients, she enjoys wrangling her toddler into an outdoor activity, traveling the world, gardening and home renovations, and watching anything the History Channel has to offer. She holds a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno.
