Private recovery coaching for executives and professionals
This is confidential, one-on-one recovery coaching built around demanding, visible careers. For executives, founders, public figures, athletes, and professionals, getting sober cannot mean disappearing or leaving a trail. Karen Vitale works privately around your schedule and your responsibilities, by phone or Zoom across time zones, with the discretion of dealing directly and only with her. She is a credentialed addiction professional with more than thirty years of personal sobriety and decades of experience alongside people whose work keeps them in the public eye.
The pressures these careers carry
Outward success does not protect anyone from addiction, and the demands that come with it can make getting help harder, not easier.
A board seat or a company depends on you being present. Deal cycles and travel break any fixed routine. Visibility means a reputation a single rumor can damage. And in most professional worlds there can be no paper trail, nothing that lives in a shared system or an HR file.
These are not reasons to wait. They are the exact conditions this work is built for.
How Karen works around them
The work bends to your life, not the other way around.
- Flexible scheduling, including early, late, and around travel.
- Sessions by phone or Zoom, across time zones, wherever you are.
- One relationship, with Karen directly, with no intake team and no case passed between staff.
This is boutique by design. You deal with one person, who knows your history and your week, and no one else. Many clients begin here while getting sober without stepping away at all, which is the alternative to rehab.
The confidentiality commitment
Discretion is the starting point, not a feature added on. Your inquiry reaches Karen, not an assistant or a queue, and she reads and responds to every message herself.
Nothing about your work together is shared with anyone without your direction. For people whose privacy is part of their livelihood, that level of personal discretion is the point, and it is something an institution cannot match.
Common questions
How do you protect my privacy?
You work with Karen directly, and only Karen. There is no intake team, no staff passing your file between them, and no shared organizational records. Your inquiry comes straight to her, and she handles your work personally, start to finish. Nothing is shared with anyone without your direction.
Can we work around my travel and schedule?
Yes. Sessions are by phone or Zoom and can be scheduled across time zones, early, late, or around a trip. The structure is built to fit a calendar that keeps changing, not to compete with it.
Will there be a record of this?
Not in any shared or institutional sense. There is no HR file, no organizational system, and no case passed between staff. You work with Karen alone, privately, and your work together stays between the two of you.
