Adam Bartholomew

Chief Executive Officer

Adam has a passion for the 12 Steps combined with the tools necessary to see and process core beliefs and behaviors in a therapeutic setting. Having been in recovery for almost 10 years, Adam has walked hand in hand with men seeking the same results.

Adam strongly believes that the structure, quality of care, individualized treatment planning, and a willingness to take suggestions and follow directions will lead to success in early recovery. Adam believes that a great number of men have the ability to recover from drug addiction and/or alcoholism if the critical steps are taken to find a life worth living.

Adam is a resident of Prescott, Arizona and shares the care of his daughter along with being a strong member of the community of Prescott.

He has been blessed to work in the treatment field since August of 2013 and has worked in the roles of residential technician, client advocate, group facilitator, and is currently Reflection’s residential director and aftercare counselor.

Lisa Parsons, MD

Medical Director

Dr. Parsons received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University where she graduated summa cum laude. She then went to Medical School at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan. From there, she did her Internship and Psychiatric Residency at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix Arizona. Dr. Parsons went on to work at Banner Thunderbird Hospital doing Consult Liason work on the medical floors, ER and psychiatric ER as well as working on the inpatient psychiatric unit. She them Moved to Prescott Arizona and become Medical Director at a large community mental health center called West Yavapai Guidance Clinic.

All of this experience lead Dr. Parsons to the understanding that Psychiatric illness including Substance Use Disorders is much more than a brain disorder and treatment needs to include the whole person. This lead her on a quest to understand additional causes of illness and search for holistic treatments. She received a certification from “Integrative Medicine for Mental Health” and has continued to expand her knowledge with them. She has collaborated with colleagues in the community and across the country that are experienced in this type of medicine. She is working toward certification in functional medicine approaches to treatment through the ‘Integrative Medicine Academy’.

All of this experience has led to her to starting her private practice called Integrative Core Wellness where she practices Integrative Psychiatry, combining Western Medicine, Eastern Medicine and Functional Medicine approaches to illness and treatment.

As her understanding of the holistic/alternative literature and research grows, her potential to help people effect positive change in their lives has grown as well. While she has always felt a call to medicine, this expanded treatment repertoire has enhanced that call and deepened her gratitude for being a part of positive change.

Chris Colonna

Admissions/Outreach Director

Chris is originally from Long Island, NY where he grew up in a very large, very loving Italian Family. Chris had always wanted to join the NYPD from a young age and made it all the way through the intensive hiring process before his addiction stopped him from fulfilling that dream. His addiction progressed rapidly and his life had become unmanageable.

Chris came to Prescott, Arizona to complete a long-term treatment program. He is a firm believer that Alcoholics Anonymous, the 12 steps and going through a high quality of treatment saved his life. He will forever be grateful that recovery taught him how to change his life in a way that he never dreamed possible. Chris handles outreach as well as admissions for Reflections Recovery Center and says that he could not be more thankful for the privilege of working in the field that saved his life.
