Joan A. Trombley
Founder / Executive Director

My concern with the care and counseling with the mentally ill evolved during the five years I worked as a counselor and pursued graduate studies in psychology at San Francisco State University. After receiving my Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology, I opened Residence Clubs, Inc. in 1983. It has always been my goal to provide exceptional service to those who seek recovery. I will continue to strive for growth in myself and for others as we focus on health and well-being.
Kai Hansen
Office Manager

I have been working behind the scenes for RCI since 2003, reconciling/auditing business accounts for year end tax preparation, working closely with Dawn, Joan and their CPA firm. Because of this working relationship of the past 7 years, I have become very familiar with the business and what it stands for.
Leigh Trombley,
Certified Nutrition Consultant

My philosophy of healing foods and therapeutic cooking is…keep it simple. The fewer the ingredients you use, the better. Fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, and grains are always more flavorful. Fresh herbs are beautiful and very therapeutic. The more people learn about their body and empower themselves with knowledge, the better they will be able to make healthy choices on a daily basis.
Edward Oklan MD, MPH,
Psychiatric Consultant

I have been the Psychiatric Consultant for Residence Clubs, Inc. since 1987 and I have enjoyed my involvement over the years. I lead the weekly community meeting, attend treatment conferences, and provide ongoing consultation to Joan and the counseling team. I am involved in the development of individualized treatment plans with clear, behaviorally defined goals and the steps needed to reach those goals. Residence Clubs, Inc. is a special place. Each resident is seen as an individual, and not just a "diagnosis". I am amazed at the progress made by many who have previously been seen as almost hopeless, and feel that it is a privilege to be able to continue to help in the recovery of so many people.
