Dalanna Burris has worked at The Menninger Clinic since 2017 as an addictions and recovery professional. Additionally, I have worked locally at Luna Recovery, Memorial Hermann’s The Prevention and Recovery Center and The Right Step (when owned by Elements Behavioral) as a counselor. Prior to relocating to the Houston area, I worked for the county of El Paso, a non-profit treatment program and the Texas correctional system as a counselor.

My philosophy about the role and future of Houston TAAP : I believe the role and future of the Houston Chapter of TAAP should be to focus on providing education, resources and support to those working in the field of addiction and recovery services. I believe it is important to provide space to network and learn about different programs that our local community has to offer. Additionally, Houston TAAP should be a space to encourage and lead future generations of professionals as they cultivate the knowledge and skills to provide hope for recovery.
