“Mom from Southern CA” – 2024
Since our first conversation through the intervention you were strong and so compassionate and you taught me how to be strong. I keep going back in my mind thru all the conversations and prep work you took us through and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Thank you for listening to me and making sure that I am comfortable with the plan. I really felt like you had my back and that you also had my son’s best interests at heart. You were his advocate as much as mine…He is on the way to recovery now and I have only you to thank for working with us – I am grateful every day for meeting you.
Gordon C – Sausalito, California, 2024
It’s a privilege to know and work with Patricia Pike, she is an amazing person with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism. Her proven skills and abilities coupled with extensive experience from decades makes her unique in dealing with the most difficult and complex cases. I have known Patricia for many years and personally I have over 31 years in recovery and have never seen anyone with Patricia’s remarkable ability in working with addicts / alcoholics and their families. She is truly gifted and that shows in her tremendous success rate. Patricia is also very highly regarded amongst her peers and colleagues in the medical / psychiatric, psychology, addictions, and treatment fields.
San Jose, California, 2024
Patti Pike is an amazing person. I’m in awe of her skill with people when they are at their most frustrated, vulnerable and fragile. My family, friends, and I had been trying for over a year to get my son to realize that he had a serious problem with substance abuse. He became so abusive that most of his friends removed themselves from the situation. I contacted Patti out of desperation. Because my son viewed his family and friends as his enemy, Patti could not oversee a conventional intervention. Our gratitude to Patti is profound.

South Bay, California
Patti worked with my son for over four years and helped us understand and cope with the mental health and addiction problems that he suffers from. As parents, it was hard to fully comprehend the depths of our son’s addiction and depression. We were always looking for some ray of sunshine that showed he was turning a corner and changing for the better.
He was seeing a psychiatrist and was on medication for anxiety and depression. We really didn’t know what else to do and we didn’t have a clue when it came to understanding his addiction problems. Finally, it became obvious that he had turned into someone that we no longer knew, and it was clear that he was becoming dangerous to himself and possibly to others as well.
He had gone from a happy and confident kid to someone whose darkness and anger were profound and frightening. At our first meeting with Patti, it was clear that she had been down this road before. She explained what was going on with our son in a way that opened our eyes, and she also began laying out a path for us to follow to get him the help he needed.
Naturally, at first our son wanted nothing to do with Patti and had no interest in dealing with his issues. However, over time and with persistence, Patti gained his trust and respect. Eventually, our son entered a long-term treatment program in Southern California that Patti had highly recommended. That program was a real lifeline for our son. He has been in it for a few months at this point and it is wonderful to see the positive changes he has made in his life. Patti’s help and advice really made a big difference in finally putting our son’s life on a positive trajectory.

North Vancouver, BC, Canada
When Patti was referred to me, I was nothing short of desperate to get help for my son. She entered my life and basically swooped me up off the ground. She patiently listened and guided me through the steps that I needed to do to take back control of my life and get help for my son. She was always there for us when we needed her the most. My son has developed a super close

Patti has provided prompt effective case management, expert advice based on her considerable experience, coordination between complex family dynamics and rehab facilities, all of which has preserved my sanity and helped me considerably, especially on the numerous occasions my daughter was on the brink of capitulation, wanting to leave rehab.
Northern California (mom)
We had to do an intervention with my son and found Patti after we asked for recommendation from some of the leading treatment centers in the country. She was amazing and has a magic gift in dealing with young drug addict in total denials. She helped us find the best treatment center for our son while we were overwhelmed navigating the endless centers with
with poor quality and no outcome data. Patti was a teenager whisperer doing the intervention and escorting my son on his plane trip while keeping him calm and committed despite multiple screw up by United Airlines. She had to demand that the captain opened the cabin door as they were stranded at the gate… and were going to miss their connections … which could have been catastrophic…so we were able to get them into another airline and she managed the entire day ordeal to keep my son calm and committed to go to treatment. I highly recommend Patti to help you save you sanity ….and your loved one!

Patti – You were a key part of making this happened. Thank you again. Today is the one-year sobriety anniversary for our son. He has matured a lot and is moving in today with his Roommate in an apartment that he is paying for with multiple jobs. He is also taking two online classes at a local community college. Thank you again for your help a year ago
Robin, Ontario, Canada
We recently had a crisis situation where a family member needed immediate help with a serious addiction problem. To complicate matters, the best care facilities were in different part of the country from where we live. We were unsure what to do and found the whole situation completely overwhelming. Fortunately, we connected with Patricia Pike.
She helped us locate the appropriate facilities (we needed 2) and took care of all the details.
She provided a safe escort, booked flights and accommodations, handled all the paperwork and dealt with some precise timing issues. Her calm manner and obvious expertise guided us through this very difficult time. We couldn’t have handled things without her help, are extremely grateful for her and highly recommend her services.

de forAddiction is a scary word, but when it finds its way to your family you are totally unprepared. Addiction touches the very heart of your family and extended family. Patti is in every sense of the word our leader and coach. The first time on the phone with Patti I knew she would work well with the dynamics of our family. She listened, gave advice and told us what she was able to provide for us.
Holistic in her approach she does not just help you with the treatment for the addicted person; she prepares you for the whole journey. We hired Patti to help us with an intervention on my brother. He has been a drug addict for more than 30 years. My parents are elderly and needed special care and support though this process. I had
no idea just how much care and support my sister and I would need. Patti was there for us and still is every step of the way. What makes Patti so unique is not just the work she does, but the care and strength she gave our family. I would never hesitate to recommend Patti; we never would have gotten my brother into treatment. We’re a long way from a happy ending, but with Patti’s help we took the right steps. Thank you, Patti.

Patti is gifted… with compassion and understanding, I call it a gift because it takes a special person to see past mistakes & actions and into the true person. She delivered hope when we thought there was none… at a time where family & friends felt exhausted after many attempts to try to make our loved one see how important it was to get clean.
San Francisco Bay Area
Patti is an amazing woman. She really helped me when I was detoxing. Patty sat at my bedside with a very soothing voice and talked to me about getting clean. She talked with my husband and had a huge part in us (my husband and I) reaching an agreement. I’m really not sure what would’ve happened had she not been there to support both my husband.

My heart was broken, and I was losing my mind obsessing about my son’s drug addiction. I started the research and reaching out for advice, what should/could I do??? After one conversation with Patti Pike my mind was eased, and I had a plan or at least the start of a plan. I was soothed by the sound of her voice and encouraged with her listening skills and the way she had
of drawing me out and getting me to face my denial.
I never thought I would get through the intervention, but Patti dug in and became a part of our family quickly and expertly guided us through the most painful thing we’ve ever had to do. I have a feeling she will be a part of our lives for a long time. She was and is very professional spending time with each of us and getting to know our son through each person’s eyes. We all feel very connected to Patti and have only the highest regard for her. I hope you don’t have need of an interventionist but if you do Patti will take you carefully and thoughtfully through the process.

It has been quite a long journey up to this point, but it is one that I strongly believe my family would not have been able to survive intact, without Patti’s involvement. In this six-year evolution, my family has dealt with quite a few professionals in the Addictions field…and I can honestly say that none of them had the skills, insight, or dedication that Patti does.
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Patricia Pike (Patti) has been a part of my recovery process since February 1st/2000, when I first entered treatment after my addiction me jobless, broke, homeless, and with no friends or family. In treatment, she pointed me in the direction of a 12-step program that could help me learn to cope and live with a life in recovery free of drugs and alcohol.
After a relapse that left me with no choice but to get clean, I knew the only person that that could help was Patti P. Patti has continually played an active role in my recovery since the beginning. Thanks to those basic tools I received in treatment and one on one counseling sessions, I have stayed clean for 13 years, and am now working on a Criminology Degree to fulfill yet another dream of mine.
Patti also has extensive expensive education working directly within the GLBTQA, HIV/ AIDS, teen, and young adult experience. If you are looking for an interventionist who can fit into any client situation, Patricia Pike is the best possible solution for all treatment needs.

Our family was at the end of the road, unsure what to do, it was clear our son would end up in jail or worse from his addiction and lifestyle. We reached out to Patti, immediately from that first call, she gave us hope, to accept we needed professional help as a family. Patti facilitated a family intervention and our son accepted treatment,
