Dr. Jason Roop is a behavioral health innovator, educator, and founder of the Center for Trait-Based Transformation. As the creator of the Trait-Based Model of Recovery and Prevention, Dr. Roop brings a unique blend of professional training, lived experience, and transformational leadership to the field of addiction recovery and personal development.
Rooted in his own long-term recovery journey, Dr. Roop's work challenges traditional, shame-based models by inviting individuals to discover their inherent strengths, navigate their inner terrain with honesty and self-compassion, and emerge as leaders in their own lives. His approach is deeply relational and human-centered--built not only to treat, but to inspire.
After spending more than a decade in higher education, where he earned his Ph.D. in Business Management and Leadership, Dr. Roop shifted his focus to recovery program design, curriculum development, and organizational transformation. He has served as a professor, program director, and keynote speaker, and continues to advise organizations across Kentucky and beyond on how to implement innovative, strength-based practices.
Dr. Roop's Trait-Based Model has been implemented in schools, treatment centers, reentry programs, and peer-led recovery groups across the country. Its curriculum blends psychological insight with practical tools like achievement badges, built-in assessments, personalized pledges, and QR code integration--making deep transformation feel structured, accessible, and empowering.
He currently leads workshops, facilitator trainings, and community-based pilot programs while supporting a growing network of certified Trait-Based facilitators. His commitment to healing is matched only by his passion for reshaping the conversation around recovery--away from defect and dysfunction, and toward strength, identity, and conscious evolution.
Dr. Roop lives in central Kentucky with his wife, Amanda Jo Roop, who plays a foundational role in the development and delivery of the Trait-Based curriculum. Together, they are building a movement rooted in the simple but radical truth: we are not broken. We are starting from strength.
