Anika Cooper

TExas Intervention Partner

Anika Cooper’s story is an inspiring one. After experiencing and overcoming multiple struggles in her adolescent and young adult years including drug and alcohol addiction, she felt divinely inspired to help others battling addiction. Upon completing her studies at The University of Texas at Arlington and working in pharmaceutical sales for a few years, she founded Simply Grace in 2011. By 2013, Simply Grace had taken shape as a nonprofit sober living home designed for women to heal in a structured environment and feel empowered to fulfill their purpose. In a span of less than ten years, the organization grew to seven locations across the Lone Star State offering sober living and an Intensive Outpatient Program. In 2021, Anika began a new chapter in her life by joining the nationally recognized Full Circle Intervention (FCI), a division of Full Circle Addiction & Recovery Services (FCAR) specializing in interventions based on a respectful and professional approach—qualities that align with Anika’s demeanor. At home in the Dallas Fort Worth area, Anika is the mother of a 7-year-old and a 17-year-old. She enjoys connecting with her inner self and mother nature in her free time.
