About Us
Reignite Your Life.
The journey of recovery from the drug and alcohol addiction can and should continue in the post-rehabilitation period. However, the transition back to the rhythms of daily life can be difficult and filled with a unique set of challenges. Therefore, patients need professional support during this critical post-rehab period.
A Better Boat is a revolutionary mobile application that connects users with their assigned case managers, who help them reignite their lives. Case managers provide professional guidance and support in areas such as education, employment, and living arrangements to assist patients in returning to their community, enabling them to participate in every way possible. In addition, the app helps users avoid relapse by providing access to resources and information on every aspect of life that ensures their recovery and prevents them from returning to old habits.

Tony Leal
Recovery Coach | Interventionist
Tony Leal brings military discipline, investigative experience, and recovery leadership to his work at A Better Boat. A former United States Marine, Tony served in combat operations in Iraq before beginning a law-enforcement career that included the Texas Highway Patrol, criminal investigations, and service as a Texas Ranger.
Tony later spent six years working in the recovery field, including four years as Director of Recovery Coaching at Windmill Wellness Ranch. In that role, he built and supervised a recovery-coaching department supporting clients through early sobriety and long-term recovery planning.
Tony’s own recovery journey gives him a personal understanding of what it takes to get—and remain—sober. Today, he uses his lived experience, leadership skills, and ability to remain composed in difficult situations to provide interventions and recovery coaching that are direct, disciplined, compassionate, and grounded in accountability.

Lylah Nassar, M.S., LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Family Support Through A Better Boat
At A Better Boat, we understand that addiction, mental-health challenges, and the decision to enter treatment affect the entire family—not only the individual receiving care. An intervention can open the door to recovery, but families often need guidance of their own as they begin rebuilding trust, establishing healthy boundaries, and changing long-standing patterns.
To support that process, A Better Boat makes licensed family therapist Lylah Nassar available to the families of individuals we serve through interventions. Her work provides families with a safe, professional place to process what they have experienced, strengthen communication, and learn healthier ways to support recovery without losing sight of their own healing.
About Lylah
Lylah Nassar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in Texas and New York City. She helps clients navigate relationship challenges, major life transitions, and difficult patterns that can keep families feeling disconnected or stuck.
Because one person’s struggle often affects the entire family system, Lylah works with spouses, partners, and family members to understand those patterns and build healthier ways of relating. Her work may include rebuilding trust, resolving conflict, improving communication, setting appropriate boundaries, processing hurt and resentment, and adjusting to changing roles throughout treatment and recovery.
Lylah’s approach is warm, direct, and relational. She draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic approaches, and a broader family-systems perspective. Her goal is to support each person’s individual healing while helping families build stronger, healthier, and more connected relationships.
