Gage
Nazak
MSW, CADC I
Program Director & Therapist
South Bay Area, California
Gage has his Masters in Social Work, and is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-I). He began his career as a program assistant for a collegiate recovery program and has worked as a counselor in both residential and outpatient addiction treatment settings. As the first hired staff member, Gage has an in-depth understanding of Skyline's operations and values.
As Program Director at Skyline, there isn’t much that Gage doesn’t do! He oversees the development and implementation of program curricula, ensures compliance with regulatory standards, and manages the day-to-day operations of the program. Gage holds a caseload of clients in a coaching capacity. He works with staff on training and development, coordinates community outreach efforts, runs our alumni and collaborates with other professionals to continuously improve the quality of care provided to clients and the recovery community of Bend.
Maybe most importantly, Gage utilizes outdoor experiences in Central Oregon and individual counseling to help each client find their potential for a full and meaningful life. His work focuses on guiding others to find purpose and direction in their lives while helping them navigate the challenges of recovery.
During his free time, Gage loves to rock climb at Smith Rock, ski at the local mountain, and spend time near the rivers.
