Our Team

Executive Director

Vincent Palazzotto, is the Executive Director of PorchLight Recovery located in the historic district of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Prior to this, Vincent owned several successful start-up companies, held various leadership roles for Fortune 100 companies, and served as an Army Communications Officer. Most recently, Vincent was directly impacted by the loss of friends and loved ones who had succumbed to their addictions. As a result, this ignited his passion for developing a therapeutic, recovery campus where professionals would be treated with dignity and respect, while allowing their family, friends and workplace to be an integral part of the recovery solution.

In understanding the complexities placed upon corporate executives, government workers, small business owners, and other prominent members of our community, Vincent and his team have worked to develop an evidence-based recovery program nestled in an autonomous, urban community that is tailored to the individual needs of professionals. In this pursuit, he and his team believe that PorchLight Recovery provides those seeking help from addiction a real-world, tangible solution for achieving a life of recovery long after they leave our homes. Vincent holds a degree in Psychology from Rutgers University and a Masters in Business from the University of Denver. He is a father to three wonderful girls, a believer in recovery and most values the human connections found somewhere between the lines of culture, travel, food and sport.

Bridget Atkinson-Stocker serves as the Director of Client Care at PorchLight Recovery, where she works to welcome residents in identifying their specific needs, goals, and structure while living on campus. In her experience in balancing her role as both a working professional and mother, she knows the value that recovery provides in re-establishing a career and reconnecting individuals to their most valued relationships. Throughout her life, she has experienced multiple levels of recovery and knows firsthand what the effects of substance use disorder (SUD) can have on an individual, their loved ones, their careers and to the ties that bind.

She is passionate about removing the stigma surrounding addictive behavior in the workplace and home, so that individuals are encouraged to seek help. Bridget has been instrumental in PorchLight’s vision by creating a space where professionals can heal, recover and thrive from life’s mishaps and pitfalls. She is excited to be pursuing her passion of helping others overcome their addictions by re-discovering their strengths and in developing positive behaviors. When not working at PorchLight, she volunteers her time at various ministries and institutions sharing her experience, strength and hope with those affected by SUD. Bridget holds certifications as a Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) and relapse prevention counselor.
