Hello! My name is Stephanie Smith. I am a Substance Use Disorder Professional and currently hold the position of Drug Court Supervisor at West Sound Treatment Center. I have been working with the underserved and underrepresented folks in our community for several years now. I have a passion for helping our clients to see their worth and potential as they work towards accomplishing all their goals. It is a journey of empowerment and profound change, and I am honored to have the pleasure of witnessing such. I also have a passion for teaching and helping professionals grow in both their professional and personal identities. In May 2021, I graduated summa cum laude from Washington State University with my Bachelor of Science where I majored in psychology and minored in sociology. I am currently attending graduate school in pursuit of a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Trauma. Afterwards, I aspire to continue my educational journey and get a doctoral degree as I am a committed lifelong learner.

Hello, my name is Mike, and I’ve been navigating the path of recovery since 1989. I began my professional journey in this field at West Sound Treatment Center in 2016. Since then, I’ve gained experience with various agencies, but I’m now back at WSTC. My mission is to give back by sharing my personal experiences and professional knowledge to help others maintain sobriety long after completing treatment. If I can help even one child have a better life, it will all be worth it.

Delia Ernst SUDP: Recovery Counselor

Bremerton

Hi, my name is Delia (Day-lee-ah) Ernst. I was born in Spain while my family was stationed there by the Air Force. I have lived in almost every state, including Hawaii. I like Washington the best. I started in this field as a counselor support staff for an inpatient treatment facility. That is where I heard that the professionals in the field would need to be dual credentialed because the country was going to require mental health as well as SUD for all facilities. I finished my master of psychology courses only to find that the university was not adequately credentialed and I would have to take all my courses again to comply with DOH credential standards (nope; not at this age). So, now I am working for this clinic as a regular SUD and really loving it. My go-to treatment modalities are cognitive therapy and motivational enhancements. I also excel at building rapport with clients through empathy and providing positive feedback.

Janine Hernandez, SUDPT: Recovery Counselor

Poulsbo

Hello, my name is Janine Hernandez, and I am an SUDP/T at West Sound Treatment Center in Port Orchard. I graduated with my degree in Technical Arts Human Services from Olympic College in June 2022. My goal as a counselor is to show compassion and empathy for anyone who walks through our doors. With my ability to communicate with people of different backgrounds and walks of life, I hope to make my clients feel comfortable discussing difficult topics and deeply personal issues. I have a strong desire to help motivate while encouraging others to see their full potential and learn how to live and be their best true authentic self.

Brandi Webb SUDPT: Recovery Counselor

Port Orchard

My name is Brandi, and I am pursuing a career in substance use treatment because I believe in the power of recovery and second chances. This path became personal to me in 2011 after losing a beloved family member to an opioid overdose—a loss that deeply shaped my commitment to helping others who are battling addiction. I have since completed the necessary education and training to provide support, guidance, and compassion to individuals working to rebuild their lives. My goal is to help people rediscover their strength, restore their sense of self-worth, and know they are not alone in their journey toward healing.

Bremerton

Hi, I’m Thomas Hester Jr, and I’m the Care Manager for the R.E.A.L. team at WSTC. I was born and raised in Kitsap County. Recovery is important to me because my journey began with a personal experience that ignited a passion for helping others. Having walked the path of addiction and recovery myself, I understand the challenges and triumphs that come with this journey. This personal insight drives my commitment to inspire hope and provide support to those battling addiction. My mission is to show that recovery is possible and that a fulfilling life awaits beyond addiction. Through my work, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can find the strength and resources they need to reclaim their lives. I believe in the power of community and the importance of compassionate care in the recovery process.
