Therapy Team
Bonnie Sandifer, LICDC, LSW
My name is Bonnie Sandifer, LICDC, LSW and I am the Lead Clinician for Eleanor Health in Akron, Ohio. I joined the team at Eleanor because I have a passion for helping others increase their quality of life through whole person care. I am a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have spent many years researching and working in the field of mental health and substance use disorders and I am grateful to serve in this profession. I have worked in correctional facilities, substance use disorder residential treatment centers and detox facilities. My goal is to work closely with my Eleanor team to compassionately assist individuals along their recovery journey. In my free time I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, traveling and engaging in self care activities such as yoga.

Community Recovery Partner, Akron, OH
My name is Tim Schweizer and I am the Community Recovery Partner and a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter at the Akron, OH clinic. I have worked in the addiction services/mental health field in various capacities for 8 years. I originally started in the field out of a sense of ‘paying forward’ all of the help that I’ve been afforded in my journey and was drawn to Eleanor by our passion for helping people find their own way in recovery. I am a casual guitarist, weekend basketball player and I love laughing and having fun with family and friends!
