About Melissa Silverstein
Melissa Silverstein is the founder of The Healed Professional and a recovery-informed coach for high achievers. With decades of experience advising senior leaders in high-stakes environments and over a decade of lived recovery, she brings a rare combination of executive-level advising experience and long-term recovery insight.
My Recovery Story
Melissa’s coaching is shaped by years spent advising executives in high-pressure professional settings, alongside her own long-term recovery journey. Before founding The Healed Professional, she served in senior legal roles supporting executives, global brands, and innovation leaders through high-stakes decision-making and moments that required a strategic perspective.
Alongside her professional work, Melissa’s sobriety reflects both traditional recovery frameworks and broader personal practices that supported long-term change. This rare combination shapes a recovery-informed coaching approach that is deeply attuned to the realities of professional life. THP was created to support professionals who want an alcohol-free life that integrates seamlessly with who they are and how they lead.
Our Coaching Approach
THP guides professionals in building an alcohol-free life that integrates with their identity, responsibilities, and real-world demands. We work with professionals who recognize that alcohol no longer fits their life. Our approach supports individualized, alcohol-free change that aligns with personal values, professional responsibilities, and real-world context. This work is grounded in meaningful recovery and designed to integrate with your professional identity rather than requiring you to step away from it.
Across group coaching, private sessions, and corporate training, THP Coaching emphasizes practical guidance and shared language that can be applied in real professional settings. Connection and community are central to this work, so professionals navigate recovery alongside others who understand the pressures they carry. The goal is sustainable, alcohol-free change that evolves alongside your life.
