Jaryd Neiman

Recovery Specialist

 

Jaryd Neiman is a recovery specialist with Pathways, where he specializes in helping clients establish positive belief systems by incorporating consistent success principles not just in recovery but in their lives as well.

Jaryd draws on his 4 years of experience in recovery himself as well as his 10 years in business management. Prior to starting at Pathways in October of 2016, he managed both small and large businesses where he was responsible for leading teams of people, increasing profitability, maintaining and growing customer bases and client relationships, and managing day to day logistics and functionality of each facility.

When he came to Pathways, Jaryd’s training in our program and principles came in the form of going through individual exercises and groups as if he were himself a client. Jaryd is very passionate about being able to relate experiences with his clients and prides himself in never asking a client to do something he hasn’t already done and/or continues to do himself. His main goal with each client is to help them establish a vision for what they’d like their life to look like, as well as identify where they feel Pathways can help them reach that goal.
