Our Team

Brent Alcaraz brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to his role as Lead Therapist at Nashville Wellness Recovery and Detox. With a background rooted in counseling, family systems, and addiction treatment, Brent has spent his career doing the kind of meaningful work that drew him to the field in the first place – helping people find their way back to themselves.

Brent holds a degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Alabama. His clinical background includes work with the Tuscaloosa County Diversion Program, a master’s internship with Bradford Health Services, experience at Vanderbilt Counseling Center, and several years in various counseling roles at Cumberland Heights – working with families and young men in treatment.

What sets Brent apart is simple: he’s been on the other side of this process. His own recovery journey shapes the way he connects with clients and fuels his belief that lasting change is possible for anyone willing to do the work.

Outside of the office, Brent is a devoted husband and father of two, proud dog dad to three, and can usually be found tackling home improvement projects or building out his home gym alongside his wife.
