"I want to thank you for all you have done for my son. It was certainly an uphill battle yesterday. I thought you handled it so well. Watching how you compassionately worked with my son to break his denial, show him how his deep depression, anxiety and OCD tendencies have affected his life and our family was beautiful. I am so grateful you were recommended to us. Thank you for all you did. Last night was the first night I have slept soundly in a long time.”
Mental Health Conditions We Address
At Interventions With Love, we support individuals and families facing a wide range of complex and often untreated mental health challenges. Many of the individuals we work with have struggled silently for years, cycling through crisis, hospitalization, or isolation—without a clear path to sustained healing. We step in during these critical moments to offer hope, structure, and a way forward.
Our interventions are tailored to meet the needs of those living with:
Mood Disorders
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Bipolar I and II Disorders
Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
These conditions may present as extreme sadness, irritability, lack of motivation, or rapid mood changes that disrupt daily functioning and relationships.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic Disorder
Social Anxiety
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, fear of leaving the house, perfectionism, compulsions, or physical symptoms like racing heart and shortness of breath.
Trauma and PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)
Trauma-Related Dissociation
When left unaddressed, trauma can keep individuals stuck in survival mode—impacted by hypervigilance, emotional numbing, avoidance, or re-experiencing painful events.
Personality Disorders
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Avoidant or Dependent Personality Disorders
Often misunderstood, these conditions can lead to unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, intense emotional reactions, or patterns of control and manipulation.
Psychotic Disorders
Schizophrenia
Schizoaffective Disorder
Delusional Disorder
These diagnoses can involve hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and significant social withdrawal, often requiring a highly coordinated treatment plan.

Co-Occurring Disorders: A Holistic Approach to Complex Struggles
Many of the individuals and families who come to us are navigating more than one diagnosis or concern. It's common for untreated mental health conditions to coexist with other behaviors or disorders that further complicate the path to recovery. These overlapping struggles can make it difficult for families to know where to turn—or even where to begin.
Why Our Approach Works
When co-occurring disorders are present, a one-size-fits-all treatment plan isn’t enough. We take a whole-person, whole-family approach—looking beyond the symptoms to understand the "why" behind the behaviors. We collaborate with treatment centers that are equipped to treat both mental health and co-occurring conditions, and we stay closely involved to ensure care is truly integrated.
From the first call through treatment and beyond, we walk alongside families to untangle the complexities, rebuild trust, and support long-term recovery—for everyone involved.
At Interventions With Love, we specialize in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring disorders, including:
Suicidality and Frequent Psychiatric Hospitalizations: For individuals who have cycled in and out of crisis stabilization units or psychiatric hospitals, the need for continuity of care and family involvement is critical. These situations can be frightening and destabilizing for families, and we work closely with both the individual and their support system to create a sustainable plan for healing.
Self-Harming Behaviors: Cutting, burning, or other forms of self-injury can be misunderstood, but they are often attempts to relieve emotional numbness, manage intrusive thoughts, or regain a sense of control. We help families understand the function behind the behavior while guiding their loved one toward safer, healthier coping mechanisms.
Substance Use Disorders: Alcohol or drug use may start as a way to self-medicate anxiety, depression, or trauma. Over time, it becomes its own dangerous cycle, masking deeper emotional pain and making mental health symptoms even more unmanageable.
Eating Disorders: Disordered eating behaviors like restriction, binging, or purging often develop as a means of coping with overwhelming emotions or a need for control when life feels chaotic. These behaviors are rarely just about food—they’re often rooted in deeper, unaddressed psychological distress.
The Intervention Process
Initiating an intervention involves careful planning and consideration. Our process includes:
Assessment: Evaluating the individual's mental health condition and the impact on their life and relationships.
Planning: Collaborating with family members and loved ones to develop a structured approach tailored to the individual's needs.
Education: Providing psychoeducation to family and friends about the specific mental health condition, treatment options, and coping strategies.
Intervention Meeting: Conducting a supportive and non-confrontational meeting to encourage the individual to accept help.
Treatment Options: Presenting appropriate treatment pathways, which may include therapy, medication management, and support groups.
Follow-Up Support: Offering ongoing assistance to both the individual and their family to ensure continuity of care and support throughout the recovery journey.
Is It Time for an Intervention?
It can be incredibly difficult to know when it’s the right time to step in, especially when your loved one is struggling with an untreated or complex mental health condition. The signs are not always clear, and as a family member, you may feel torn between wanting to help and not wanting to make things worse. Please know—you are not alone in this, and I’m here to help guide you through this decision.
If your loved one is showing any of the following signs, it may be time to consider a professionally guided intervention:
Frequent Mood Swings or Emotional Instability: Rapid shifts in mood, prolonged irritability, or unexplained anger outbursts.
Withdrawal from Loved Ones and Responsibilities: Avoiding family, isolating from friends, or a noticeable drop in work or school performance.
Erratic or Risky Behavior: Impulsive decisions, reckless spending, risky sexual behavior, or frequent conflict with others.
Paranoia, Delusional Thinking, or Hallucinations: Expressing beliefs that are clearly untrue or seeing/hearing things others don’t.
Chronic Anxiety or Panic Attacks: Constant worry, racing thoughts, or physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, nausea, or dizziness.
Severe Depression or Loss of Interest in Life: Withdrawing from activities once enjoyed, sleeping excessively, or expressing hopelessness.
Self-Harming Behaviors: Visible scars, wearing long sleeves in hot weather, or talking about using self-injury to cope.
Suicidal Thoughts or Threats: Talking about death, giving away belongings, or expressing a desire to disappear.
Resistance to Help or Denial of a Problem: Dismissing concerns, rejecting therapy or medication, or becoming defensive when approached.
Repeated Psychiatric Hospitalizations or Crisis Episodes: Ongoing cycles of stabilization without long-term improvement.
These signs can feel overwhelming to witness, especially when you’ve already tried so hard to help. An intervention creates a moment of truth—with love, clarity, and a clear plan for support. Together, we can shift the trajectory toward healing.
If you’re seeing these signs and wondering what to do next, I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk about how I can help support your family.
