Recovery Is Personal


No two people arrive here the same way, and no meaningful recovery process is built with a rigid formula or generic approach.

Rory supports recovery from alcohol, substances, gambling, and other destructive behavioral patterns by  helping clients build a more stable and spiritually connected way of living.

For some clients, the work begins with building basic structure and accountability:

  • daily routines

  • meeting support

  • recovery planning

  • check-ins

  • relapse prevention

  • reconnecting with community and spiritual practice

For others, the work begins with untangling long-standing patterns of isolation, intellectualization, and self-deception that may be interfering with recovery, despite outward appearances of success.

Rory’s approach is direct, compassionate, no nonsense, and deeply grounded in his lived experience.

As a former trader and Wall Streeter, he knows the intensity of ambitious, high-pressure life and the deep exhaustion that comes from trying to handle recovery through willpower, image management, intellect, or external achievement.

Together, the work is collaborative and individualized.

Some clients may benefit from more frequent support and contact initially, especially during periods of instability, transition, or early recovery.  This structure may evolve into a steadier rhythm focused on maintenance, accountability, spiritual grounding, and continued growth.

Sessions may take place in-person, by video, or by phone.

Rory is based in Durham, North Carolina and works with clients both locally and remotely.

Depending on the situation and type of support needed, services may include:

One-on-one recovery coaching

The frequency and structure of work are determined based on the client’s needs, goals, level of stability, and desired level of support.

This work is especially effective for individuals who may already understand recovery intellectually, but struggle with integrating recovery into day to day life. 

Recovery is not about performance.

It is about building a life that can be sustained.
