I understand that life pressures can be overwhelming and that your pain is real. The hard truth about life is that none of us get through it unscathed. Regardless of where we come from or how wonderful things might seem on the surface, each and every one of us is a flawed human searching for well-being in one area or another. Whether or how much you struggle emotionally, cognitively, or even physically, I will meet you from a place of respect and understanding. You have strengths that we can build upon to tackle any issues together.

I believe that the power of vulnerability is one of our greatest strengths and ultimately can provide us with a deeper sense of self, security, comfort, and more compassionate towards one another. Coming from a strength-based form of doing therapy and providing support to others, I work to provide my clients with a sense of validation and comfort. As a cis male that identifies as Latinx and as a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, I am able to hold the experience of living in many diverse, cross-cultural emotional experiences that we sometimes may not even know how to begin to understand.

One of the primary reasons I love intervention work is to not just see the addict get relief, but for their family and friends have relief as well.
Interventions work more often than not. Do you have a loved one or someone you care about suffering with the disease of addiction/alcholism and or mental illness? Properly facilitated intervention is successful 90% of the time, meaning we typically are able to get the individual into a treatment setting that aligns with what your loved one needs based upon taking a comprehensive history. All treatment settings are not the same, we will walk you through the intervention process, help identify the appropriate treatment destination, and manage the crisis from first call to successful admission.

Intervention Therapists

How does an intervention work?

An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?

There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?

While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?

Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
