Patricia M. Pike is a Certified Intervention Professional, Addiction Specialist, and Educator with a mission to elevate the standard of care in addiction and mental health support. With over 25 years of on-site experience in behavioral health, specializing in alcoholism, addiction, and substance abuse, Patricia has conducted numerous successful interventions worldwide with a citizenship both in Canada and the United States. Her dedication to this field is deeply personal, as she has been in recovery herself for 31 years. Drawing from her own experiences, Patricia approaches helping others with compassion and devotion, aiming to instill hope in individuals and their families.

Patricia’s impressive credentials include a master’s certification in addiction studies, licenses as a Licensed Advanced Alcohol Drug Counselor (LAADC) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II), and recognition as an Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor through the IC&RC (I.C.A.D.C). She is also a Certified Intervention Professional (CIP) through the Pennsylvania Certification Board and holds an Adult Instructor Diploma (AID). As a committed board member of the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS), Patricia actively contributes to advancing her field internally.

In today’s global addiction crisis, having certified and credentialed interventionists like Ms. Pike is paramount. Her expertise extends to complex substance abuse disorders/addictions and mental health challenges, family services and working with diverse populations, including first nation communities, business leaders, music/entertainment professionals, and employers.

As such, it has never been more important to have both highly effective and ethical approaches for interventions from a certified and credentialed interventionist. My level of devotion to increasing the standard of intervention certifications across the industry and its many specializations also led to the development of my own education program for professionals. Helping professionals become the best practitioners they can be, to help facilitate the likelihood of higher intervention successes and meeting client’s needs.

Patricia firmly believes in fairness, equality, and the power of self-dignity in recovering from alcohol and/or drugs. With unwavering energy and passion, she strives to empower individuals and families, demonstrating that recovery is achievable for everyone. Everyone has a story to tell, my purpose is to be a voice for the voiceless.
