"Today you were AMAZING!!
You talked down my strung out, crystal meth addicted daughter, who was absolutely adamant that she was not going into rehab.To see your skills first hand left us all so thankful and impressed and also we were so glad we had the training before hand. I am eternally grateful, actually I can't find the right works to express how thankful I am that you persuaded her to take the first step to recovery. - MOM""To Those Who Want to Help a Family Member in Trouble: Our family contacted Pat Moomey to get help with a family member's alcoholism in February, 2007. At the onset, I questioned whether or not we really needed the services of a professional interventionist. I thought perhaps we could do it ourselves. I can state unequivocally that we made the right decision by engaging Pat to help us. I watched first-hand as Pat demonstrated an incredible talent in handling a difficult confrontation during the intervention. She was able to work through a potentially volatile situation in a calm and assertive manner, and she miraculously converted it to a solid commitment from our family member to follow a specific plan for recovery (that Pat had mapped out in advance). Pat was very helpful on multiple fronts, including on the front-end of the process with our inquiries, during the intervention preparatory sessions, during the intervention, and post-intervention follow-up. This woman has a special gift for this work. She is an expert in interacting with the alcoholic who may be in denial. She is professional, responsive, and most importantly, she is effective. She also has lots of heart. I would highly recommend her without reservation. Our family is extremely grateful to her for her help." -SB
"Dear Pat: Thanks again for the wonderful experience you provided all of us at the intervention. As you know, I have been involved in many and worked with several people on interventions, but I tell you the truth you are best, Pat. I am always honored to recommend you to anyone who calls me. Thanks Pat." -AG
"The whole experience was wonderful and my husband is a new person. He is taking it very seriously and goes to AA every day even when we are traveling. Our son stopped too and is going to AA himself. That was a special blessing. My kids call you our ANGEL." -M and family
"I want to personally thank you for the work you did in coordinating and overseeing my wife's intervention. Your leadership and direction was clearly the backbone of the success we experienced. You are very effective with your program. I also want to thank you for the compassion you showed through the whole process. You are a true professional." -Clint R.
“I came to the intervention process as a questioning and concerned friend, as well as a skeptical learner. The process of your instructing all of us who were going to be involved in the intervention left our first instructional meeting with mixed emotions. Mixed with a feeling of respect for the professional and confident way in which you rowed the boat forward in troubled waters, I couldn’t wait until we actually practiced the intervention. I was absolutely stunned by the effectiveness of the method which I had never used before. It was your leadership, clear teaching, and confident training that prepared us for a life changing experience for my friend and the rest of us." - Dale W.
“I have found interventions to be an extremely loving encounter; in fact, one of the most loving encounters I have seen in ministry. As family members reach out in true compassion and concern for the future and well being of their loved one, many tears are shed, many appeals in kind and loving ways are offered forth. When nothing else works, interventions are an outstanding tool to use to bring about treatment. I have been involved in an intervention and the chemically dependent person has gone in for treatment." -Pastor John S.
“Pat has extremely clear convictions about the necessary elements in an intervention and therefore was able to deal with the many issues that arose that could have derailed the intervention process. While maintaining strong leadership of the intervention Pat was also able to be sensitive to the fears uncertainties, and other issues of the family members. The outcome of the intervention with my client met or exceeded all the expectations that I and my client’s family had for it." -Tom O. Ph.D.
“I do mean for you to hear the depth of my gratitude. I appreciate your skill, strength, hope, compassion, deep understanding, ability to teach and willingness to share personal experience. That you choose to help families recover their lost/stolen by alcohol-loved ones is truly transmuting poison into nectar-it is awesome." -M.M.S.
