Amy Cooper, CRRA

Intervention Coordinator & Intervention Counselor

Amy’s journey over the past 20-plus years has given her experience in recognizing and working with a variety of addictions. The challenges and opportunities that have arisen along the way have expanded her level of gratitude. The belief in Honesty and Faith as two of the most important keys to lifelong, sober living is something she holds dear.

Amy as held a National Certification in Advanced Clinical Intervention (NCACIP) and also an International Master’s Addictions Coach (IMAC), with a focus on recovery, food and gambling addictions. Additionally, she has a Certification in Anger Management and Family Coaching.

Amy has experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and continues to engage in hands-on training as often as possible. She routinely facilitates detox and arranges for next-stage care, as well as introducing clients to long-term recovery and all available workable solutions in the local community. Amy maintains ongoing relationships with clients, working side-by-side with the families during the transition of their loved ones back into living and working environments.

Having completed a 500-Hour Residential Drug and Alcohol Federal Program, Amy has an understanding of the legal issues of addiction. She candidly shares problems from her own past with clients. The twenty-plus years of hurt, misperception, and bad habits that led to her addiction have given her the insight to recognize and assist others.

Currently, Amy offers support for addicts and their loved ones, whether one-on-one, group, or sharing on social media. Her activities include Public Speaking; a Blog, “Faith at the Beach”; and facilitating a Women’s Empowerment Support Group and Codependency Book Studies. Amy also runs a 6K race for the Heroes Movement at Foundations Recovery Network, a grassroots effort to break the stigmas associated with addiction and mental health issues.

Why Choose

Family First Intervention?

Addicts and alcoholics have taught their families everything they know about their addiction and how to handle it. We understand that a single person addicted to drugs or alcohol is easier to help than 5 or more family members who are addicted to their loved one through codependency. We understand the dynamics of a complex family system that has been hijacked by their loved one through emotional manipulation.

Families tend to focus their efforts on talking their loved ones into treatment or waiting for them to go on their own. We help educate the family on how they have made the addiction more comfortable and in a way that does not help the addicted person get well. We can only change what we have control over, and that is our own behavior.

Our drug and alcohol intervention programs provide families the professional assistance needed to make the best decisions about their loved ones. Our counselors work to ensure that your loved one and your family system have the best possible chance of long-term success.
