When I lost my son - I lost my - “best me”

I felt like I was drowning!  I couldn’t sleep, I was angry all the time, my stomach ached and the effect on my other son became obvious.  I never thought it would end.  I became so depressed and powerless ...... 

The pain was so much ….  I used …… to take away the pain

It worked – for a very short time and then it became more destructive

And I lost my - “best me”  - until I found it in recovery!
 

Here is what Harmony shared:

Judy is a God send in our life!!! 

I came to her seeking guidance as a parent for my three children and took home with me tools that have completely transformed our relationship and family bond in ways I could never have dreamed possible!!! 

 

I'm forever grateful!!!

Thank you Judy.

 Sandra Mistretta,- Clinical Director - Residential Care

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Judy since 2017. I have witnessed her working with large to small groups of mothers in an effective and informative way, as well as providing individual coaching. Judy is well loved by our clients that struggle with co-occurring disorders and works with mothers and children of all ages, supporting their transition into recovery and often helping to facilitate their return home to be reunified.
 
As the clinical director of a women's treatment center, I understand the challenges a mother experiences when struggling with addiction. One of the things I love most about Dr. Judy is her non judgmental and caring approach that she offers our clients. Judy provides a safe space to process the consequences of untreated mental health and addiction and the effect it has on their relationships with their children, whether they are young or grown adults. The whole family system benefits from Judy's compassionate care, behavioral interventions, communication tools, psycho education, coaching and action plans to help accelerate the healing process.
 
Judy is my go to- when I have a mother in treatment and they are struggling with shame, guilt, estrangement and loss around their children, I call her and she is readily available to help. Every single client that experiences some time with Judy reports feeling more hopeful and empowered. I am honored to know Dr. Judy and bear witness to the good work she does in our community.

I am a parent of three, and a recovered alcoholic......

Dr. Osterhage (whom I lovingly refer to as “DR. O”) is an expert in the art of navigating parenthood. Over the years, she has proven herself essential in helping me to communicate and work towards a common goal within my family.  Along with encouraging the necessary tools of empathy, listening and safety, Dr. O excels at blending the lines of strong love and strong boundaries into one. I don’t know how many times I have struggled with wordy explanations and ineffective reasoning techniques, only to hear a straightforward one-line statement from Dr. O that turns out to be the game changer.

I am a parent of three, and a recovered alcoholic. Dr. O helped me to navigate the turbulence common to families that have lived alongside addiction, and she was a godsend when my son found himself suffering from drug addiction several years later. Dr. O is a trusted voice of reason, bolstered by many years of experience. She simply exudes a straightforward attitude - one full of both hope and reason. I cannot recommend her talents and skills enough. I amgrateful to have found such a wise guide for the journey.
