Amy Cooper

If you spend just a few minutes with Amy Cooper, you'll quickly discover that she isn't interested in pretending life is perfect. She believes healing begins the moment we become willing to tell the truth—with ourselves, with God, and with the people who love us.

Amy is a Board Certified Addiction Counselor, Interventionist, Recovery Coach, speaker, podcast host, and the founder of Pursuit Of Recovery™. For more than 16 years, she has dedicated her life to helping individuals and families navigate addiction, codependency, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and the lifelong journey of recovery.

What makes Amy different isn't just her experience—it's her story. As a woman living in long-term recovery herself, she understands firsthand that addiction, shame, and brokenness don't have the final word. She knows what it's like to rebuild a life one day at a time, and she brings that same compassion, honesty, and hope into every conversation, intervention, coaching session, and podcast episode.

Amy believes recovery is about far more than putting down a substance or changing a behavior. It's about healing the heart, renewing the mind, restoring relationships, and discovering the person you were always created to be.

Whether she's speaking to a room full of families, coaching a client through life's hardest moments, recording the Southern Sober & Sassy podcast, or simply sharing a cup of coffee with someone who needs encouragement, Amy's mission remains the same: to remind people that hope is real, healing is possible, and no one has to walk this journey alone.

When she's not serving others, you'll likely find Amy reading a great book, writing her next project, lacing up her running shoes, or spending time at the beach. She cherishes every opportunity to babysit her granddogs, Lulu and Miller, and believes some of life's greatest conversations happen around a kitchen table, on a front porch, or wherever people feel safe enough to be themselves.

Amy's approach is simple: tell the truth with love, lead with compassion, laugh often, extend grace generously, and never stop believing that people can change.

Your past may explain you, but it never has to define you. There is always hope, and it's never too late to begin again.
