Lisa Robson, SUDP: Drug Court Coordinator

Bremerton

Hi, I’m Lisa Robson, and I’m the Drug Court Coordinator at WSTC. I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I went to school at the University of WA and started my career as a Chemical Dependency Counselor (CDP). Recovery is important to me because I experienced ACE’s and was determined to find out Why so I could be the change to help others. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my four-legged children and relaxing. 

Keya Rohlman, SUDP/T: Drug Court Recovery Counselor

Bremerton

I am an SUDPT counselor at the Bremerton location of West Sound Treatment Center. I received my education for this career field from Olympic College in Bremerton, and also have a background in education through the University of Alaska. I have always been passionate about helping others and did that in the school districts for about 6 years working with behavioral students and in the Special Education Department. My goals now for this field are to help lift up and educate others in getting the help they need by sharing my own personal experience with addiction and spread hope to those who need it and watch them reach their goals in their new life of recovery. In my free time you can catch me outside rain or shine hiking, fishing, running, (basically anything active), or inside baking and reading, and always with my kids in tow.
