Qualified Health & Mental Health Coach & Certified Family Recovery Coach
Facing the reality of a loved one's substance use can feel like an endless cycle of fear, anger, and uncertainty. Questions like "What did I do wrong?" or "Why has this happened to me?" haunt you, leaving you feeling powerless and lost.
But despite these overwhelming emotions, there is a path forward. There is hope and change is possible. How we navigate these challenges can have a significant influence on our loved ones.
Welcome to Family Recovery
Here, I acknowledge the complexities of substance use and the profound impact it has on families. I understand the exhaustion, overwhelm, and the desperate search for answers that families experience. My approach offers evidence-based strategies tailored to each family's unique needs, providing personalized support and proven tools to help them navigate challenges and support their loved ones in making positive changes.
Hello, I'm Sandra Schick.
As a mother, I experienced firsthand the heart-wrenching reality of watching a loved one struggle with substance use. I felt the helplessness, the anger, guilt, and the overwhelming sense of fear that consumed me day and night.
The advice of "tough love" and "let them hit rock bottom" felt wrong to me and only added to the chaos. I felt trapped on an emotional roller coaster with no way off, not knowing what to do or how to support my son in his battle.
I eventually found a way forward that felt right to me and helped heal my family.
Family Recovery was born out of my own journey—the journey of a mother, an advocate, and a qualified health and mental health coach. My path to becoming a family recovery coach is paved by my lived experiences, challenges, fears, determination, and love.
I became a certified Family Recovery Coach and I am on a mission to offer hope and to provide families with the answers they so desperately seek.
I firmly believe that with the right support, recovery becomes possible for every family.
My goal is to offer families a new perspective on substance use issues, providing them with personalized strategies and support to help their loved one.
I empower families by offering effective communication techniques and behavior tools, fostering connection and collaboration within the family unit.
My approach provides a safe space for you to unpack your emotions, process your experiences, and determine the most effective ways to support your loved one.
By reclaiming your well-being and strengthening relationships, families can navigate challenges with resilience, fostering positive change and promoting hope.
Together, we'll strategize ways to keep them safe and healthy while guiding them towards recovery. Through personalized sessions, we'll also explore what's truly important to you, ensuring that our approach aligns with your values and aspirations.
Problematic substance use impacts the entire family unit, but it's important to remember that family support is a significant factor in recovery—70% of those who find long term recovery cite family as their main motivation.
