Andrayer Montgomery

Andrayer M. Montgomery B.S.L.S-BPS-CPSSP is the Case Manager at Grace House. Andrayer has her bachelor’s degree in legal and paralegal studies from the University of Mississippi. She is CPSSP-certified by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. She has dedicated her career to working in the non-profit sector to help the most vulnerable and marginalized people find their voice and live their lives on their terms.

As a woman in recovery for over 19 years, she can relate to the women of Grace House; her internal guidance is from an Oscar Wilde quote, “Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.” She believes people can become their true selves by admitting past mistakes and finding forgiveness. By getting rid of shame and healing from past trauma, a person can move forward to become the person they are meant to be without the need for substances to make them whole.

Andrayer brings over nine years of experience with her to Grace House. She is enthusiastic, detail-oriented, and invested in the mission of Grace House. Andrayer believes that her life experiences and career have led her to work at Grace House. All that she has learned has prepared her for her role as the behind-the-scenes case manager, helping each client grow in sobriety and have the confidence to overcome their hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Let each client know they are not defined by addiction. Addiction is something they went through in life, not who they are.

She leads by example. She helps each client with their legal issues, medical issues, any business issues that may arise, and so much more. She inspires and encourages each client to be their best self. She also teaches Job Readiness and Life in Recovery. She shares her lifelong experiences with the clients so they know that they can have a life worth living with hard work and guidance. Andrayer empowers the clients with knowledge. The clients learn how important it is to take time to dedicate themselves to their recovery journey.

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” ― Oscar Wilde
