About Dr. Sarah

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I’m Dr. Sarah Michaud, a clinical psychologist, author, and co-host of Leaving CrazyTown. For more than thirty years I’ve worked in addiction and codependency recovery, blending professional expertise with the hard-earned lessons of my own journey. Sober from alcohol and cocaine since 1984, I know firsthand the pain of addiction, and the freedom that comes with recovery.

My path hasn’t been linear. After decades of sobriety, I was confronted with my husband’s relapse and the desperate behaviors that arise when we try to save someone else. That experience forced me to face my own truth, and ultimately led to a life rooted in authenticity, peace and connection rather than chaos and exhaustion.

I share that story in my book, Co-Crazy: One Psychologist’s Recovery from Codependency and Addiction, part memoir and part manual for anyone seeking freedom from destructive patterns.

My mission is to help you find your voice, set healthier boundaries, and create the life you’ve always wanted. So fasten your seatbelt: we’re leaving CrazyTown, and there’s a brighter road ahead.
