A family interventionist guides your family through a structured conversation that moves a loved one toward treatment without threats, ambushes, or drama.

Founder Preston Durnford has personally led over 500 interventions across Orange County and nationwide. We coach, coordinate, and refer as a professional family interventionist. We are not a licensed treatment facility, and that clarity is the point: you get one experienced person leading the room and one clear path forward.
One engagement covers the whole arc: a confidential pre-intervention strategy session, family preparation on what to say, the intervention itself led by Preston, and a warm handoff into vetted treatment.
No ambush, no shouting, no TV drama. We set the order of speakers, rehearse the words, and keep everyone on the same loving line so your loved one hears one clear message and one clear next step.
For families in Orange County who have tried direct conversations, watched promises break, and need a professional to lead. If the situation is escalating, we can usually mobilize within 24 to 48 hours.

A family interventionist guides your family through a calm, structured conversation that moves a loved one toward treatment. At Epic Journey, founder Preston Durnford runs confidential pre-intervention strategy, prepares the family on what to say and how to hold a unified line, leads the intervention itself, and coordinates a warm handoff into vetted treatment.

We start with a confidential strategy call to map the situation, the people involved, and the right treatment options. Then we prepare the family on what to say, the order of speakers, and how to hold one calm, unified line without threats or drama. On the day, Preston leads the intervention itself, and when your loved one says yes we coordinate a warm handoff into treatment, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
A professional interventionist in Orange County typically runs several thousand dollars, and Epic Journey is cash-pay. Your exact quote depends on travel, timeline, and how much family preparation and follow-up coaching you want. We give you a clear, flat number on the free consult before anything is booked, with no insurance billing and no surprises.
Hire an interventionist when direct conversations have stopped working, when the situation is escalating, or when the family keeps getting pulled into arguments and broken promises. If you are walking on eggshells, covering for a loved one, or afraid of what happens next, that is the signal to bring in a professional. Epic Journey serves Newport Beach and all of Orange County and can usually mobilize within 24 to 48 hours.
Not everyone says yes on the first day, and we never use force or ultimatums that damage the relationship. If your loved one refuses, we help the family hold clear, loving boundaries and leave the door open, which often moves them toward a yes within days. Preston also coaches the family on next steps and stays available to re-engage when the moment is right.
