Declan McGinnis

Declan McGinnis was born and raised in Austin, Texas, and studied Psychology at the University of Portland, where he developed a strong interest in mental health and personal growth. As a mentor at Ranch House Recovery, Declan is dedicated to helping newcomers navigate early recovery and build a solid foundation for a better life.

His work is deeply personal—he’s driven not only by a passion for helping others, but also by a desire to honor the memory of a close friend who passed away from an overdose. Declan finds his role incredibly meaningful and values the deep connections he’s made with both clients and staff.

Outside of work, Declan enjoys staying active—whether he’s lifting weights at the gym, skateboarding, or spending time outdoors with friends. He loves exploring Austin’s local gems like Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and nearby hiking trails, and is always up for an adventure or a new travel experience.

Declan is proud to be part of the Ranch House Recovery team and is committed to supporting others as they heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.
