Dr. Joanne Marie Ketch

Hello, I’m Dr. Joanne, the founder and licensed therapist at Sober in the C-Suite. With over 15 years of personal sobriety, I have first-hand experience in navigating the challenges of living a fulfilling life without substances. My journey has been a testament to the fact that it's possible to manage stress, maintain a successful career, and enjoy life to its fullest—all while staying sober. My experience spans not just personal recovery but also academic and professional training, which I have applied to help other high-achieving professionals do the same. I earned my Doctor of Professional Counseling degree in December 2022, having previously graduated Summa Cum Laude with both my Master’s in Counseling and multiple certifications, including Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT-S), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC).

My background in various clinical and leadership roles, from Clinical Director to Family Services Director, has given me a unique understanding of the challenges professionals face in substance abuse recovery. This experience led me to focus my practice on creating custom, evidence-based recovery plans for executives, first responders, and business owners who are ready to address their substance use privately and effectively. My THRIVE program was designed to help my clients balance their professional success with a sober, empowered lifestyle. My passion is supporting professionals in managing stress, navigating life’s demands without turning to substances, and developing the resilience needed to thrive in all areas of life.
