Lauren J. Walter
I have been fortunate to know and work with Theresa Knorr for many years. She served as an advisor to me when I was forced to deal with an employee who had a substance abuse issue. Thanks to Theresa's advice and guidance, my employee sought help and has been clean and sober for over five years. I am extremely thankful for her advice and handholding while I addressed the situation.

To Whom it May Concern, I first had the opportunity to come to know Theresa Knorr when I performed a one year long (2010-2011) internship for my Associate’s Degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling at Hedgerow House (Transitional Services Association). Ms. Knorr was my clinical supervisor, and through her guidance and training, I was able to achieve my objectives of developing a solid foundation in core competencies such as counseling skills, intervention and crisis management, client assessment and screening, treatment planning, referral, service coordination, interviewing techniques, family and community education, policy, and cultural competency. I hold Ms. Knorr in the highest regard for her knowledge, expertise, and skills of professional practice, including, but not limited to, behavioral/mental health, addictions, social services, and case management, as well her ability to lead, manage, and motivate an interdisciplinary team, plan and develop programs, teach/facilitate intervention and prevention groups, mentor and supervise employees, interns and students, and direct/oversee community service coordination/community outreach. It is my pleasure to recommend Theresa Knorr, without hesitation, to any professional position/capacity that will utilize her afore mentioned skills and knowledge of clinical practice You will find Ms. Knorr to be a exceptional candidate worthy of your most thorough consideration. Please feel free to contact me via cell (518-506-3247), if you would like to further discuss my recommendation. Respectfully, Theresa Taylor Secretary Jack Kent Cooke Scholar Association Executive Board Lansdowne, VA Bachelor’s of Social Work candidate, The College of Saint Rose
