 Jim Earleyjearley@changepointinc.com Jim has been with ChangePoint since 2008. He started his career as a teacher, so it makes sense that his approach to understanding substance abuse is a developmental one. He recognizes that we all go through stages in our lives and alcohol and other drug abuse or dependence can slow us down or get in the way of our progress. Jim says "Everyone has the capacity to grow, learn, and adjust, and I love having the chance to work with others at critical, difficult moments in their lives. It’s a privilege and I try to honor that." His hobbies include being an avid, but not great, golfer, supporting the northwest’s professional sports teams, and enjoying a good book or movie. |

Matt Johnston, MA, CADC I mjohnston@changepointinc.com Matt has been on the ChangePoint staff since 2005. He enjoys watching people make changes that radically impact their lives for the better, and he's seen some great turn-arounds happen in a short amount of time. Matt believes in making treatment fun, so clients can forget they "have" to be there and focus on absorbing the experience. When he's not at work, Matt enjoys biking, reading or doing both at the same time. |
