For Tammy Loiselle, Executive Coordinator at White Horse Recovery, supporting those struggling with addiction and mental health challenges is more than a job—it’s a calling shaped by personal experience.
Loiselle, who joined White Horse Recovery after decades in home and medical care, brings a deeply personal understanding to her work. “Addiction runs in my family,” she said. “My father was an alcoholic, and my brother lost his life to alcoholism. I know firsthand how hard it is to find help—and how important it is to have someone who listens.”
White Horse Recovery, a nonprofit behavioral health center with locations in Ossipee, North Conway, Berlin and Littleton, offers comprehensive substance use disorder and mental health services for all ages. Loiselle’s journey from caretaker to advocate reflects the organization’s mission, which is to meet people where they are and provide support without judgment or financial barriers.
“I’ve seen people come in who are a complete wreck and, after going through our programs, thrive,” Loiselle said . “It’s so rewarding to see that transformation.”
She said White Horse Recovery’s team is known for its empathy and dedication. “Our counselors are some of the most phenomenal people I’ve met,” she added. “They’re here because they want to make a difference.”
Loiselle wants the community to know that help is available, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. “The hardest step is walking through the door,” she said, “but we’re here, and we care.”
