https://joanneketch.com/. Helping professionals and their loved ones address substance use issues. It’s important to treat you; the whole person.

While the suggestion that you attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) (also known as 12 Step settings) is one that has worked for millions, it is not “the” only nor the best answer for everyone. There are many reasons that developing a holistic care plan is needed; to respond to your unique genetics, past, specific struggles and to identify and utilize the skill set that is pr

oductive and positive and use this as a part of your treatment. If you’d like, I can provide support, guidance, complementary and supplementary care to persons in the 12 Step community. I am careful, however, to ensure that professional treatment is empirically supported and not simply a regurgitation of cliché suggestions. I work with professionals in Katy, Houston, and Texas and online with clients in Florida who are seeking holistic care for their substance abuse problem, to help with relapse prevention, and assist the family members and loved ones of those persons. I am also a board approved Supervisor for LPC Associates and LMFT Associates.

📣 AA Isn’t the Whole Plan—Here’s Why That Matters

I’m often asked why I don’t center AA or 12-Step programs in the core of my coaching or clinical work. Here’s the truth:

Peer support is powerful. But it’s not treatment.

Would you treat diabetes, MS, or cancer with a support group alone? Of course not. You’d want a diagnosis, a tailored treatment plan, and a team of professionals to guide your healing.

Recovery should be no different.

In this video, I unpack what real, strategic, clinical recovery looks like—especially for professionals and high-functioning individuals with a lot to lose. I talk about:

✅ Why peer support helps—but isn’t enough
✅ What a true recovery team looks like
✅ How to design your recovery like a business plan
✅ Why slogans can’t replace neuroscience, habit change, or structured support

Watch the video here 👉 https://youtu.be/E-3_C2QsiBM

🎯 You don’t need more guilt, shame, or vague advice. You need systems, strategy, and support that actually match the complexity of your life.

Let’s raise the bar for what recovery can be.

Why I Don’t Center AA in My Coaching or Clinical ProgrammingFor many in recovery, AA and other peer support models are powerful and supportive. But they’re n...

Finally! 🎥 NEW VIDEO: Executive Stress, Sobriety, and Leadership — Where I’ve Been (and Why It Matters to You)

✨ NEW VIDEO: Rewiring the Brain for Recovery Through Mindful Motion ✨

Recovery isn’t just about what we stop doing—it’s about what we start doing to rebuild a sustainable, fulfilling life. And for professionals and executives in recovery, contemplative movement is a powerful way to do just that.

In this video, I dive into the science behind mindful movement practices like Yoga, Tai Chi, QiGong, and Nia—and how they can help regulate your nervous system, reduce cravings, and support long-term sobriety.

Whether you're early in recovery or deep into a sober lifestyle, movement isn't about fitness—it's about freedom.
🧠 Learn how movement:
Rewires the brain’s reward system
Restores balance to your nervous system
Reduces stress and improves mood
Enhances self-regulation and decision-making
Helps release trauma stored in the body

If you're a high-achieving professional navigating sobriety, this is for you. These evidence-based practices aren't about yoga pants or perfect form—they’re about reclaiming your body, managing stress, and building a life you don’t want to escape from.

💡 I’m also inviting you to join a Contemplative Movement Challenge this week: ➡️ Try one mindful movement style each day (Yoga, Tai Chi, QiGong, Nia) ➡️ Reflect on how it affects your stress, cravings, and overall well-being ➡️ Share your experience in the comments!

No gear. No pressure. Just a few moments of presence.

🚨 High-Achievers, Executives, and Professionals—This One’s for You! 🚨

Are you constantly putting things off—not because you’re lazy, but because you’re waiting for the perfect time? 🕰️ Maybe you overthink, over-plan, and get stuck in analysis paralysis. And when it comes to quitting drinking, do you tell yourself…

❌ “Now isn’t the right time—I have too much going on.”
❌ “Once I get past this stressful project, I’ll stop.”
❌ “Drinking is my one way to relax—I need a better plan first.”

💡 The truth? There will never be a perfect time to quit. Perfectionism, procrastination, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) can create a cycle that keeps high-achieving professionals stuck—delaying decisions, avoiding discomfort, and relying on alcohol as a stress-relief shortcut.

📢 NEW VIDEO ALERT: The Illusion of Control 🎭
For years, I believed I could have a sophisticated, effortless relationship with alcohol. I thought if I could choose not to drink sometimes, then surely I didn’t have a problem.

But here’s the truth: High achievers often mask their drinking problem by convincing themselves they have control.

I remember being on my honeymoon, watching a woman in a classic black dress sip wine effortlessly at an art auction. She looked poised, in control, exactly how I had wanted my drinking to be.

But my drinking was never like that. My drinking started at 11.
I put down Barbies and picked up Boone’s Farm.
I justified, I controlled, I managed—but I was always thinking about drinking.

🚨 Mental obsession is a red flag.

“Should I pregame?”
“Can I hold off now so I can drink the way I really want later?”
“If I can skip drinking tonight, does that mean I don’t have a problem?”
The illusion of control kept me stuck. Until one day, I finally realized that the life I thought alcohol would give me—I had already built, fully sober.

💡 If this resonates, watch my latest video here: 🎥
👉 https://youtu.be/BHd7kq-zEdg

📌 Stay tuned—I have a free, private quiz coming this week to help you assess your relationship with alcohol.

Drop a 👍 in the comments if you’ve ever told yourself I’m fine, I have it under control—and let’s talk about the reality behind the illusion. 💙
