◅ About Us ▻
Forged in Recovery
Guided by Experience | Driven by Compassion
Renewed Family Connections, LLC was co-founded by Seth Dahle and Patrick Rybarczyk as a collaborative effort. After many years of working together within the recovery community, we have supported numerous individuals and families grappling with mental health and substance use challenges. Witnessing firsthand the difficulties that families encounter while navigating a complex and often overwhelming system, we were inspired to create a company that offers personalized support for those who can easily become lost in the process.
Our passion lies in helping people achieve lasting recovery. Being in recovery ourselves, we understand the obstacles involved in navigating this intricate system and the importance of involving loved ones in the journey. Our goal is to coordinate care and actively involve families at every stage. Mental health and substance use disorders frequently strain even the strongest family ties, and our mission is to restore these bonds through compassionate, individualized support for every family we serve.

Seth Dahle M.S, LPCC, LADC
Director of Clinical Services
I am deeply committed to the transformative power of recovery and bring years of counseling experience to Renewed Family Connections. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC), I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families on their journey to wellness.
I graduated from Minnesota State University Mankato (MSUM) with a Bachelor's in Alcohol and Drug Studies in 2018 and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in 2021. My career has included leading a weekly family education program at a residential treatment facility and working with a program that integrates individual counseling with family support.
Passionate about recovery and personal growth, I use my own experience in recovery to guide and inspire others. My approach emphasizes a positive regard for individuals and families, education, and holistic support for family systems, aiming to create lasting, positive change and honor the beauty of recovery.
Currently, I am focused on building a business that combines my expertise in mental health counseling with my dedication to educating and supporting families, fostering resilience, and celebrating the strength within each individual and family unit.
Patrick Rybarczyk
Director of Family Services
As the oldest son in a family of fourteen children, I grew up in the Chicago area, where I began my career in construction from a young age. My early experiences, starting as a tool runner, led me to establish a successful construction company in 2011, which I sold in 2017. During this time, I witnessed the prevalence of untreated mental health and substance use issues, which fueled my passion to make a difference in these areas.
Driven by my commitment to addressing these issues, I relocated to Minnesota to deepen my involvement in the mental health and substance use field. There, I led the creation and implementation of a high-quality program designed to support individuals of all ages facing substance use disorders and mental health challenges. This transformative experience inspired me to co-establish Renewed Family Connections, with the goal of reaching those who might otherwise fall through the cracks in existing systems.
Balancing confidence with humility, I am dedicated to leveraging my business background and hands-on experience to make a meaningful difference every day. My journey has taught me that success is built on dedication, teamwork, and an unwavering focus on the needs of those we serve.

Administrative Coordinator
Originating from Illinois with an admiration for life sciences, I earned my B.A. in Biology from Roosevelt University in Chicago. I moved to Minnesota in 2017 when I began my own journey of recovery. Since then, I have developed a passion for helping others navigate sobriety and am currently enrolled in courses at Capella University to obtain my professional counseling degree and licensure.
Drawing on my own experiences in recovery, I offer compassion and empathy to individuals seeking sobriety. I aim to provide support, tools, and resources to help individuals achieve a sustained and fulfilling sober lifestyle. By sharing my journey and leveraging my deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with recovery, I work to empower individuals to embrace their own path to wellness with confidence and resilience. My commitment is to foster a supportive community where each person can find strength, hope, and the motivation to create lasting change.
