About Charter Recovery
Charter Recovery was founded by Steve Charter, who dedicated his life to helping individuals overcome substance use challenges and build healthier futures. Through compassion, structure, and integrity, he helped countless individuals take responsibility for their lives and move toward lasting recovery.
Following Steve's passing in 2018, his daughter, Jennifer Clark, continued his mission with the same commitment to professional, ethical, and client-centered care. Today, Charter Recovery operates as a private practice based in Reno, Nevada, providing personalized substance use counseling and treatment services to individuals throughout the state.
All services are provided remotely through secure telehealth, allowing clients across Nevada to receive professional counseling in a convenient, confidential, and supportive environment.
About Jennifer Clark
Jennifer Clark, M.S., LADC, is a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor licensed by the Nevada State Board of Examiners for Alcohol, Drug, and Gambling Counselors. She has more than eight years of experience providing substance use counseling, facilitating recovery groups, and helping individuals achieve lasting recovery while meeting court, probation, and personal treatment goals.
Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness. Before entering the field of substance use treatment, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) while pursuing her goal of becoming a nurse. During that time, she discovered a passion for helping individuals recover from addiction and chose to dedicate her career to behavioral health instead.
Jennifer later joined Charter Recovery, the organization founded by her father, Steve Charter. There, she gained extensive experience providing outpatient counseling, facilitating groups, conducting assessments, and helping clients complete court-ordered treatment programs. She also operated a Nevada DMV-licensed Level I DUI School, further expanding her experience working with individuals involved in the criminal justice system.
Today, Jennifer continues to lead Charter Recovery, providing outpatient counseling services throughout Nevada through secure telehealth. She works with individuals seeking recovery support, substance use treatment, DUI counseling, and court-ordered services, helping clients build healthier, more meaningful lives.
Jennifer's counseling approach combines evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), relapse prevention, and recovery-focused skill building—with accountability, structure, and compassion. She believes lasting recovery begins by helping people recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change one step at a time.
Charter Recovery was founded by Jennifer's father, Steve Charter, whose passion for helping others created a lasting legacy of hope and recovery. Jennifer is honored to continue the work he began, preserving his vision while helping individuals and families throughout Nevada find healing, accountability, and a path toward lasting recovery.
