Our Story

Everything is a process.

Whether you are working to build a family, overcome something life has thrown at you, or make your wildest dreams come true, it's a story of what you do each and every day. It might not always feel good, and you may find yourself with more questions than answers, but finding the motivation, energy, and belief in yourself lies at the center. Who you are is made up of so many parts. You are everything you've experienced and what you desire wrapped up as one magical series of contradictions and sometimes chaos. But there's always hope. There's always a way you can approach and frame that chaos in ways that make you feel capable and powerful. Some ways are better than others.

If you believe in telling the truth, you're the kind of person who belongs with A Better Way. The company's founders have felt firsthand the successes and consequences of living within the truth. Instead of being overcome by some of the challenges of integrity, they got busy and creative. Each environment Nick and Hussain have worked in has contributed to their wealth of knowledge on connecting to practical workable solutions. They know the language of the social work landscape, from The Department of Child Services to prison. They know how to translate complicated scientific studies into specific tasks and questions for you to ask and work yourself. They know how to keep the fire going when you can't remember the last time it wasn't raining.

We recognize the incredibly harsh truths that our clients have experienced as they've navigated addiction or the convoluted landscape of service providers and legal entities. We've also seen the immediate satisfaction and relief of when it sinks in that there's a real, specific, hope-inducing way to talk about and approach it all.
