What we do
What is an interventionist?
Definition
An interventionist is a trained professional who helps a family plan and hold a structured conversation with a loved one who is struggling, and helps map the next step toward support.
In San Marino, that means guiding the whole family through the conversation with care and supporting everyone through what comes next.
Who we serve
Support for the whole family
When one person struggles, the whole family feels it. We work with San Marino families as a unit, not just the person in crisis.
Our aim is to help everyone speak with one steady, caring voice.
Confidentiality
A careful, sensitive approach
Privacy is central to how we work. We understand that visibility and reputation can weigh on a family's decision to seek help.
Every conversation with us is confidential, and we plan each step with your family's privacy in mind.
The process
Choosing the right approach
We use two intervention models, the Johnson Model and the Invitational Model.
We help you decide which approach fits your family and your loved one.

Based in Los Angeles, serving San Marino
We are based in Los Angeles and support families across the area, including San Marino.
Lifestyle Interventions is a Los Angeles intervention and recovery advisory service founded by Chris Howard.
When treatment is the right next step, we coordinate with licensed providers. We do not run a treatment facility. A loved one’s struggle affects parents, partners, and children alike. We work with the whole family, not just one person. When the family approaches the conversation as a united, caring group, the message tends to land clearly.
Who we help
Who we help
We support families facing substance use, alcohol concerns, and mental health struggles, among other situations.
We adjust the approach to your loved one and to the relationships within your family.
What to expect What to Expect When You CallThe first call is a confidential conversation. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no enrollment process at the start. For families, we will ask about the situation, the person, the history, and what has been tried. By the end of the call, you will have a clear sense of whether our work is the right fit and what the alternatives are if it is not. For clinicians, we will ask about the patient, the family system, and the clinical context. We will tell you honestly whether an intervention is what the situation needs, or whether something else is more appropriate.
