ICARUS | STREET THERAPY
Strive.Revive.Thrive.
A lived-experience mindset for recovery in a fractured world.
WHAT IS STREET THERAPY?
Street Therapy isn't clinical. It's raw, real, and rooted in lived experience. It's the mindset I built through years of navigating addiction, recovery, and rebuilding my life from the ground up.
This isn't about theory—it's about what works when life hits hard. It's about finding strength in the struggle, clarity in the chaos, and purpose in the pain.
Strive. Revive. Thrive.
