Hi, I’m Dr. Joanne Ketch (LPC-S, LMFT-S, LCDC, SAP, DPC), but clients call me Dr. Jo
My early business career hit an unexpected wall. Despite my high-achieving nature and upward trajectory, alcohol became the barrier that held me back from reaching my full potential. My mentors were confused—on paper, I was destined for more, but what they didn’t see was that my daily drinking was quietly spiraling out of control.
It didn’t make sense.
I fit the profile of a “high-functioning person with an alcohol use disorder” perfectly: driven, Type A, and successful on the outside, yet struggling in private. Maybe that sounds like you too—pushing through stress and striving for excellence, all while managing a secret struggle with alcohol.
Does that sound like you?
Thankfully, I found my way out. I got sober, learned to manage stress effectively, and began to truly enjoy life. Through celebrations, life transitions, major stressors, and career demands, I learned to thrive—without the need for a drink.
Now, after over 15 years of sobriety and advanced professional training, I’ve developed my THRIVE framework to help other professionals like you find balance, manage stress, and build a sustainable, fulfilling sober life. It’s my mission to empower you to not only get sober but to thrive with clarity, purpose, and success.
