Sobriety, organically grown
On site at Talons Out Ranch
I work in this field because it is what I am meant to do. It is my purpose and my gift.
Blythe Rifkin
I know what it feels like to be stuck in a cycle that seems impossible to break. Whether you’re here for yourself or someone you love, you’re likely exhausted—mentally, emotionally, maybe even physically. But there is a way forward. And I’m here to help.
I’ve worked in substance use issues and mental health treatment since 2015, specializing in complex cases that require firm boundaries and a no-nonsense approach. That doesn’t mean I don’t care—quite the opposite. It means I will stand with you, push you when necessary, and make sure that real, lasting change happens.
Clients are in residence at Talons Out Ranch, located in a stunning rural landscape a three hour drive from Los Angeles. Healing isn’t just about getting sober. It’s about rebuilding a life that feels worth staying sober for.
What I Do
I believe in meeting people where they are, without judgment. My work is hands-on and immersive because real transformation happens through action, not just talk.
Comprehensive Care Management
Recovery is more than just quitting—it’s about learning how to live differently. I help clients untangle the emotional and psychological knots that fuel their struggles. Together, we’ll build a personalized life-balancing plan, identifying goals and creating real-world strategies to achieve them. I work closely with families to restore healthy communication, set boundaries, and rebuild trust.
Recovery & Mental Health Coaching
True healing happens in the small, everyday moments—getting out of bed, facing responsibilities, making healthy choices. I guide clients through these challenges in real time, helping them show up for their lives. My approach is practical, structured, and results-driven, offering the consistency and accountability that real change demands.
Intervention & Crisis Support
Watching someone you love struggle with substance use or mental health issues is devastating. Intervention isn’t about confrontation—it’s about creating a path to recovery. I guide families through this process with care, strategy, and a firm but compassionate hand, ensuring everyone involved feels heard and supported.
Healing Through Nature & Structure
At Talons Out Ranch, we integrate nature, structure, and purpose into the healing process. This isn’t just about therapy sessions—it's about reconnecting with life in a meaningful way. Clients have 24/7 gym access and engage in:
✅ Farm-to-table meal prep – Nourishing the body and mind.
✅ Animal husbandry – Learning patience, responsibility, and care.
✅ Fishing & canoeing – Cultivating focus and mindfulness.
✅ Hiking – Finding clarity and peace in movement.
Recovery isn’t just about what you’re leaving behind—it’s about what you’re moving toward.
Real Stories, Real Results
Rachel Corbett, Leading Recovery & Mental Health Coach
"I have worked with Blythe for over a decade in various professional scenarios. Every time she has worked with a client of mine, she has demonstrated the highest caliber of compassionate and ethical services. Blythe is my number one go-to when I am in need of someone to work with a complex case that also requires extremely firm boundaries. All of the cases I have worked with her on have been successful, which is not always the case with substance use and mental health."

Recovery is messy. It’s raw. It’s painful. But it’s also possible.
