Interventionist Services in Utah

Professional intervention services for Utah families, wherever you’re located.

CONFIDENTIAL

The short answer

I provide intervention services for families in Utah, including Salt Lake City, Provo, and the surrounding area. Based in Los Angeles, the flight to Utah is short and the time difference is only an hour, which makes both travel and coordination straightforward for most families.

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.

For Utah families, the short distance from Los Angeles means I can usually travel without much logistical friction, though I’ll always confirm what’s right for your specific situation before assuming anything.

Who We Serve

A short distance, a straightforward process

Utah’s proximity to Los Angeles, a short flight and only an hour’s time difference, means travel rarely becomes a scheduling problem. That’s a practical convenience, not a reason to shortcut the planning.

When a family in Utah calls me, I go through the same detailed conversation I’d have with any family: what’s happening, who’s involved, and what your loved one is likely to do when approached.

Confidentiality

Planning with your privacy in mind

Privacy is central to how I work, regardless of distance. I understand that visibility and reputation can weigh on a family’s decision to seek help.

Every conversation with me is confidential, and I plan each step, including travel, with your family’s privacy in mind.

The Process

Two approaches, matched to your family

I use the Johnson Model and the Invitational Model. One is more direct, the other invites the person in from the start.

I’ll help you choose the approach most likely to keep the door to help open.

Why Us

Why families and clinicians choose to work with me

CADC-III

Credentialed

I hold the Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor III credential (Sober College), one of the highest-level counseling credentials in California.

CCMI-M

Intervention-specific

I also hold the Certified Case Manager Interventionist credential (Breining Institute), the dedicated intervention-methodology credential. The strongest practitioners hold both.

2 Models

Matched to your family

I work in both the Johnson Model and the Invitational Model, and recommend the one that actually fits your family’s situation.

Reach

Based in Los Angeles, close by for Utah families

I’m a Los Angeles-based interventionist, and Utah’s short flight distance means I can usually make in-person travel work for families in Salt Lake City, Provo, and the surrounding area.

Lifestyle Interventions is a Los Angeles intervention and recovery advisory practice I founded. I don’t operate a treatment facility, and I don’t take referral fees.

Even with the short distance, I coordinate every family member into a single, calm plan, whether everyone is in one place or spread across the state.

Who I Help

Who I help

I work with families facing substance use, alcohol concerns, and mental health struggles, among other situations.

The right approach depends on the person and the family, not on a single template.

What to Expect

What to Expect When You Call

The first call is a confidential conversation about what’s happening in your family and what your options look like, including cost, before you decide anything.

For families, I’ll ask about the situation, the person, the history, and what has been tried. By the end of the call, you’ll have a clear sense of whether working together is the right fit, and what that would actually look like.

For clinicians, I’ll ask about the patient, the family system, and the clinical context. I’ll tell you honestly whether an intervention is what the situation needs, or whether something else is more appropriate.

If someone you love is in immediate danger, call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or your local emergency services.

Frequently Asked

Frequently asked questions

Will you travel to Utah in person?

Usually, yes. The short flight from Los Angeles makes in-person travel straightforward in most cases, though I’ll confirm what fits your specific timeline and situation.

Does the time difference between California and Utah get in the way?

No. Utah is only 1 hour ahead of Los Angeles, the smallest gap of anywhere I regularly work. It’s rarely a scheduling issue.

What happens after the intervention if my loved one agrees to treatment?

I help coordinate placement with a treatment provider, whether that’s in Utah, in California, or wherever makes the most sense for the person’s situation.

Do you take a fee for referring to a treatment center?

No. I recommend placement based on fit, not on any financial arrangement.

Is an intervention only for addiction?

No. An intervention can address mental health concerns as well as substance use, with the approach chosen to fit the situation.

Can you help if our family is spread across multiple cities in Utah?

Yes. I coordinate family members wherever they are into one calm, shared plan.
