FAQ
What is an intervention?
An intervention is a step-by-step, rehearsed process whereby significant others confront the addict about his/her addiction and need for immediate treatment. Significant others meet with the therapist for an assessment and to guide the process. The interventionist provides psycho-education about addiction and codependency. Then each family member recollects events that provide irrefutable evidence of the consequences of the addiction. Then the confrontation -- an outpouring of love long overdue and affirmation that they will no longer stand by helplessly watching the addict self-destruct.

About Daniel Linder, MFT
Relationships. I was born with a keen sense about relationships, was always assessing how close and intimate people are with each other. I had a knack for relationships. The importance of relationships cuts to the core of who I am. The combination of clinical training, 25 years of professional experience treating dysfunctional, non-intimate couples and families, as well as rigorous self analysis has given me a lot to work with. I put what seemed to come naturally to me under a microscope in an effort to break the process of building healthy relationships down to concrete essentials: Understanding of Basic Principles, Communication Skills, Self-realization and Intimacy.
