Curtis Atchison is the Therapeutic Recreation Counselor at Cumberland Heights, where he has been an integral part of the team for six years. His journey began as a Clinical Associate in the Young Men’s Program before moving into a role as a Recovery Care Advocate.

With a passion for physical wellness and recovery, Curtis has taken full advantage of Cumberland Heights’ continuing education opportunities. He is a certified personal trainer, a Level 2 Challenge Course Facilitator, and a Y12SR (Yoga of 12-Step Recovery) facilitator. Currently, he is a LADAC intern and on track to obtain licensure within the year.

Being in personal recovery himself, Curtis finds deep fulfillment in helping others find joy in sobriety through movement and recreation. Outside of work, he enjoys staying active and spending time with his black lab mix, George—his best friend and loyal companion.
