PAm Blaszak

Clinical Supervisor MA, LPC, CSAC, ICS

“I have worked in the recovery field for over 25 years, working in a variety of roles and settings. I was drawn to the recovery field by a fascination with how people make and sustain change in their lives. I remain grateful for the opportunity to be a witness to the hard work, the sense of hope and the magic of recovery. 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Community Counseling. I am licensed by the state of Wisconsin as a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor, Independent Clinical Supervisor and Licensed Professional Counselor. I also hold a Professional Counselor license in the state of Missouri. I started at 4D in 2019 as Clinical Director. I am here because I was drawn to the balance of evidence-based treatment, holistic care and community that 4th Dimension fosters.”

Natalie Bolton

“I became involved in the recovery field after watching numerous family members struggle with the cycle of addiction and have to overcome many obstacles associated with the persistent stigma of substance use disorders. I was very uncertain of my ability to work in a treatment setting, but after the very first week, I knew I never wanted to do anything else with my career. It has been 11 years and recovery remains my true passion to this day.

I was offered a graduate internship opportunity at 4th Dimension in January of 2021 as I worked to finish my master's degree. I was offered a therapist position just a few months later, and I have been here ever since. The staff and community at 4D has become like a second family through the years. Through my work, I simply hope to help each client embrace their authentic selves and believe wholeheartedly that they deserve recovery.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time in airplanes since flying was my dad's favorite hobby, but I'm actually terrified of heights.

Stacey Lisiecki

Therapist CSAC

My journey to becoming a substance abuse counselor began over a decade ago after my own transformative experience of achieving sobriety. I hold a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor license and am currently completing a master’s in counseling degree at Lakeland University. 

With compassion, empathy, and a strengths-based perspective, I strive to meet each person where they are, and to help them move toward their personal goals. I take a non-judgmental approach, honoring everyone’s unique story and life experiences, and I firmly believe that everyone is deserving of recovery, wellness, and connection.



I find great joy in facilitating group sessions and one-on-one counseling, often incorporating humor as a tool for healing and learning to navigate difficult emotions and life challenges. I also have a deep appreciation for the strange and unusual, which keeps life vibrant and interesting.

As a proud member of the 4th Dimension staff, I am inspired daily by the team’s authenticity and passion for helping individuals in the community come together to recover and thrive.

Samantha Garrett

Therapist MA, MS, SAC, LPC-IT

Samantha became involved in the Milwaukee recovery community in 2022. She received her Master's Degree in Community Psychology from Alverno College and completed her internship at 4D as a SAC-IT. In January 2023, Samantha was hired full-time and is currently dual licensed as a Substance Abuse Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor (still in training).

Samantha primarily practices Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, and incorporates a variety of holistic approaches into her work. Her groups combine counseling, yoga, mindfulness meditation, energy healing (Reiki), acupuncture, and other wellness services. As a certified Reiki practitioner, Samantha also offers individual Reiki sessions to clients. She believes Reiki is a powerful, medication-free modality that eases symptoms, promotes healing, and supports overall well-being.

Samantha's approach centers on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and she is at 4D because she believes in the power of community and support to foster healing and wholeness in those overcoming addiction.

Noemi Coronado

House Manager

“I have been a part of the recovery community since 2021 and always knew that my path was to help others. During my time in the 3-month and 6-month houses at 4D, I had the privilege of becoming a house manager, a role that allowed me to support others on their recovery journeys and give back just as I was helped through mine. 



I first came to 4D in 2021, where I completed the 3-month and 6-month treatment programs. 4D has truly saved my life. During my healing and recovery, I was diagnosed with cancer, and the 4D staff and community provided invaluable support during that challenging time. I will forever be grateful to 4D for the second family I gained. Some of my interests include watching anime and making candles. I’m here to be a support system for others and I find great reward in helping others in their recovery journey.”

Braden Clark

House Manager

“I came to 4th Dimension sober living in 2023 with a breath of hope, yet still in early recovery. I was looking for a supportive environment and community, and I found nothing less than just that. I am truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to become a house manager. Showing men that it can be done and can continue to be done is both helpful for others and myself.”
