Executive Intervention Services in Vancouver
Discreet intervention and case management support for executives and professionals in Vancouver and across Canada. I help families and advisors navigate substance use, mental health challenges, and complex personal situations.
PRIVATE SUPPORT FOR COMPLEX CIRCUMSTANCES
Executive Intervention Overview
Some situations need privacy, careful timing, and expert support.
I work with people who have demanding careers alongside personal challenges. I also work with the families and advisors who support them.
This often includes executives dealing with substance use. It includes professionals facing burnout or mental health strain. And it includes families who need careful planning and coordination.
Executive intervention and case management services don't always start in crisis. Early planning can prevent problems from getting worse. It also helps protect your career, finances, and family.
DESIGNED FOR HIGH-PERFORMING INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Who This Support Serves
Executive intervention and case management services may be right for:
Executives and professionals dealing with substance use, burnout, anxiety, or depression that affects work or well-being
Families who notice behavior changes, withdrawal, or concerning patterns in someone they love
People going through major transitions like divorce, separation, career changes, or high stress
Professional advisors who need a clinical resource, including family lawyers, wealth advisors, trust officers, and HR professionals
Situations that need discretion
where privacy, timing, and professional continuity matter most
ASSESSMENT, COORDINATION, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
A Strategic, Evidence-Based Approach to Executive Intervention
Getting someone into treatment isn't always the first goal. And substance use isn't the only concern I address.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress are rising among high-performing people. My work often focuses on assessment, planning, and coordination.
Professional intervention services may include:
- Spotting behavioral or mental health concerns before crisis hits
- Planning the right intervention at the right time
- Guiding families and professional advisors
- Coordinating with doctors, lawyers, and financial professionals
- Leading interventions with minimal disruption to work
- Providing ongoing support through treatment transitions
The focus is clarity, smart action, and long-term stability.

DUAL EXPERTISE: CRISIS RESPONSE AND CLINICAL COUNSELLING
Clinical Experience That Informs Intervention Work
I’m Chelsea Lee, a licensed Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) and addiction specialist. Two distinct areas of experience shape how I work.
I began my career responding to crises as a primary care paramedic, where I learned to remain calm, decisive, and strategic in high-stakes situations. I later spent years providing therapy in specialized addiction treatment centres, supporting individuals and families through some of the most complex phases of treatment and recovery.
I’ve supported hundreds of individuals through inpatient treatment and long-term recovery, while also guiding families in securing appropriate care for their loved ones. Many of those I’ve worked with have held senior leadership roles, maintained public visibility, and managed complex financial circumstances.
This background informs my calm, strategic approach to intervention. I prioritize discretion, respect existing relationships, and focus on sustainable, long-term outcomes rather than short-term solutions.
I’m a candidate member of the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS) and hold an advanced certification in Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based method that is particularly effective with high-functioning individuals who may be ambivalent about accepting help.
PRIVACY ISN'T OPTIONAL - IT'S FOUNDATIONAL
Discretion and Confidentiality in Executive Intervention
Privacy is essential when working with high-performing people.
All services protect your confidentiality. I'm sensitive to professional and reputation concerns. I respect the full picture around each client.
When needed, I work quietly with legal, financial, and medical professionals. This ensures coordinated care across all systems.
I plan executive interventions around work schedules, board duties, and public roles. Careful timing reduces disruption while increasing the chance that someone will accept help.
STRATEGIC SUPPORT FOR HIGH-PERFORMING INDIVIDUALS
Executive Intervention in Three Steps
Discreet, professional guidance designed for demanding schedules and complex circumstances. Here's how we'll work together to create clarity and coordinate care.
Step 1: Confidential Assessment & Strategy
We begin with a private consultation to understand your situation completely. This includes your loved one's behavioral patterns, professional responsibilities, family dynamics, and previous help-seeking attempts. Together, we'll determine the right timing and approach.
Step 2: Coordination & Planning
I work with you to build the intervention team, coordinate with professional advisors (legal, financial, medical), and prepare family members. We'll identify appropriate treatment options, plan logistics around work commitments, and rehearse the conversation to ensure everyone feels confident.
Step 3: Professional Intervention & Transition
I facilitate the intervention meeting with structure and compassion, guiding the conversation toward treatment acceptance. If your loved one agrees to help, I coordinate immediate transition to care while minimizing professional disruption and maintaining discretion throughout.

FAQs - Understanding Executive Intervention in Vancouver
When is executive intervention right for high-functioning people?
Executive intervention may be right when substance use, mental health symptoms, or behavior patterns create risk. These risks can affect professional standing, relationships, finances, or physical health. Intervention is especially appropriate when previous talks haven't led to real change.
High-functioning people often perform well at work. But personal and health problems pile up behind the scenes. Early executive intervention looks for patterns. It doesn't wait for a visible crisis.
How is executive intervention different from traditional intervention?
Executive intervention with high-performing people requires extra attention to timing and privacy. It needs to protect professional continuity and existing relationships.
The approach emphasizes strategic planning and proven communication techniques. It respects the person's independence and professional responsibilities.
What is the success rate of executive intervention?
The Association of Intervention Specialists reports that 80-90% of professional interventions result in treatment acceptance. Even when someone doesn't accept treatment right away, many get support within weeks or months.
Success also includes family stability, even when treatment doesn't happen immediately.
Is executive intervention always confrontational?
Modern executive intervention models emphasize respect and strategic engagement. They use proven communication techniques, not confrontation.
The approach is adapted to the person's professional context, communication style, and readiness for change.
Whether you're a family member who's been watching someone struggle, an executive recognizing your own need for support, or a professional advisor seeking guidance for a client, confidential help is available.
I provide executive intervention services throughout Vancouver, BC, and across Canada. Consultations happen virtually or in person, and every conversation is completely confidential.
The hardest part is reaching out. Let's talk.
