Our professionalism will provide the confidence you’re looking for.
Recovering from an addiction is tough enough, but when you throw in the tremendous responsibilities of motherhood and the work of resisting cravings and remaining abstinent, recovery can seem like an impossible challenge.
Join other mothers in recovery to give yourself the much-needed gift of rest, rejuvenation, support, and laughter. Through art, experiential exercises, journaling, and visualization, we will explore what is getting in the way of the life you want and discover new ways to take care of your needs and desires. You’ll have the opportunity to gain skills to set healthy boundaries, create meaningful relationships, and use practical tools to enhance your life.

“With just a few sessions, Rosemary O’Connor helped me identify the windows of opportunity in my life, and set a manageable course to obtain them. She never waivered in her belief in me, and that alone was worth the price of admission. Her ability to gently delve under the excuses many of us create to avoid looking at what’s not working in our lives is nearly uncanny, yet always feels supportive and safe — like opening yourself to a physical exam with a doctor you’ve known and trusted for years. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is seeking a friendly and wise collaborator in taking an honest look at one’s life and where to go from here, free of self-delusion — and with it, self-sabotage. Best of all is Rosemary’s MO of working in partnership with her clients — thereby helping us gain the self-confidence to learn to problem-solve on our own more honestly and move forward more effectively. I recommend her without reservation and only wish I had found her earlier in my life.”
