“The decisions that follow are even more difficult. I could not have made it through the process of getting my child's help had it not been for the guidance and assistance of Amy Cooper. Her knowledge of facilities, providers, insurance plans, treatment needs, etc. is endless. There is no way I would have known whom to call or where to begin. She facilitated it all for me before we ever approached my child with the plan. Once we spoke to my child, the plan was already in place and it made it much more likely that he would follow through. He didn’t have time to back out while I made arrangements because they had already been made. She assisted us with how to approach the subject of getting help and was there every moment as we all cried and faced the fact that he needed outside help, more than I could give him as his mom no matter how much I love him. She fielded his tough questions. She redirected his anger and disbelief. She got him to realize that his path was destructive and admit that he needed help. He is doing amazingly well. He is back to being the sweet, loving child that I knew before he went down that path of poor choices. Please do not try to do this on your own. It will only be more difficult, and I would even venture to say that your results are not likely to be as good as they can be with her assistance. Let her take the load off of you and do the heavy lifting so you can just support and love your child or loved one as they make the decision to get healthy.“

“Without Amy Cooper, I truly believe that my sibling would not have agreed to treatment and would most likely not be with us today.  Amy was the liaison between us and the treatment center, which she set up in advance of our family intervention, handling all the details.  Getting ready for the intervention was an emotional roller coaster, especially since we were actually rehearsing to do the intervention ourselves but at the eleventh hour decided to have Amy conduct it instead.  Having Amy handle it was the best decision we could have made—it was like a huge weight lifted from our shoulders.  There are so many details in this process that Amy handled and so many questions that she answered—to this day, I believe she was a gift from above to our family.  She helped  my niece with her letter at the last minute, when she decided to participate in the intervention. She drove 6 hours at night after having driven to my sister’s that same morning, including a 5 hour intervention. She answered all our questions and was amazing!  We are grateful beyond words for Amy—she changed our lives forever.”

“Amy is fantastic at what she does! Having a family member who suffers from addiction is extremely taxing and draining, especially when you are unsure of the next steps. That is when Amy comes in! She has helped my family and I every step of the way and has made this 100x less stressful. She was always a phone call or text away and was willing to give any and all advice. She doesn’t shy away from the hard and gives her professional advice, even when it is hard to hear. I will forever be grateful for Amy and would recommend her to all.“

“Amy has been a tremendous help to me and my family as we deal with alcoholism with a loved one. Her expertise has led her down the path of recovery along with helping us as a family learn about the disease and how to take care of ourselves. I remember when this all started and feeling so helpless. Not knowing where to turn or what to do. I highly recommend anybody going through this to give Amy a call.”

— Jeff and Family

“As a family member of someone that needed help with recovery we had no idea how to navigate through the process. Amy was there every step of the way and she taught us sooo sooo much.

When I went to her I was a wreck. My 28 year old son had moved home with me a few months earlier after breaking up with his girlfriend of 10 years. He was inconsolable Only a few days earlier, his friend had committed suicide and my son was very depressed. It did not take long to see that my son had alcohol and marijuana use disorder. and was in denial. I wanted to save him but I knew a lot about alcoholism and just how difficult it is to get a loved one into treatment. Watching him lose himself to this disease and the accompanying depression was not an option. As an adult, I had no control over him. I could suggest counseling, treatment options etc, but each time I did I was met with resounding “no’s”. And the truth is , I was a wreck and going downhill quickly. I could not think, I was losing my ability to function and living in a panic mode all the time. Amy was my brain during that time and with her knowledge, compassion and guidance directed me to Al-anon.  She asked me to attend at least 6 meetings before returning to her. I was amazed by that. She could have had me spend a lot of money meeting her weekly, but she didn’t do that. Of course she made herself available, but she knew I had a lot of growing to do and a lot of acceptance, before I could help David. During that time, I attended meetings, and Amy stayed in touch and sent me information that was very helpful. My son was still in a whirlwind and spiraling out of control. He was no where near accepting help. But with Amy’s help I was learning about boundaries and codependency. I was beginning to realize I could not control his choices. One of the first things Amy said that made a very strong impact was that he would get better one of two ways  - the first is that he would realize he needed help and agree to seek it and the other was that society would lead him to it through unfortunate circumstances, such as homelessness, or jail. But I could not do it. I could however set boundaries. How deeply frightening that was. And it was a process that she repeatedly guided me through. Then, something terrible happened. My son got mad at me one day. I mean really mad! I had quit pleading for him to get help a few months before. I could not figure out what I had done. He came at me in a rage like I had never seen . It was clear he was drunk or on drugs or having some sort of psychotic break. He physically attacked me and broke things and I reached for my phone and called 911 while I was on the floor. They arrested him and off he went to jail with a felony arrest. For a parent to have their child arrested is heartbreaking. If I had not met Amy and sought her advice and drawn upon her experiences with this, I am not sure my son would even be alive today. The old me would have immediately got him a lawyer and out of jail as soon as possible. But with Amy’s help that did not happen. When I was weak, she was strong. She helped me with the legal system and life after jail issues. My son had to spend a little over a month in jail. Amy found treatment programs, helped me with the legal letters, advised me on the practical as well as the impractical actions I could or could not take and possible outcomes. After jail and through the courts my son was placed in an intervention program for 6 months. I did not see him for over 2 months - it felt like a lifetime, but was so necessary to his recovery and also mine. He needed time to heal. He needed to take ownership of his disease and learn what only he and his higher power could do to bring an end to the madness. I needed to learn. We are both in a better place now. He is working and making his own way. He is proud of his sobriety. We meet up for lunch, we talk. I listen more and talk less. If anyone I meet has a problem with addiction or is suffering over another’s addiction I tell them to see Amy. It is a disease that can’t be cured with a magic pill, but it can be managed. I feel I owe my life and my son’s life too Amy.”
