Dirk Eldredge
Professional Interventionist
Board-certified intervention professional (CIP) and a Certified addiction counselor
Dirk’s greatest gift is His ability to meet people exactly where they are in their life’s journey without judgment.
His passion is dedicated to helping families heal and see every day as a gift instead of often feeling the world is filled with darkness and isolation.
Having experienced this firsthand, Dirk now enjoys deep, meaningful relationships and is committed to bringing awareness, acceptance, and loving kindness to everyone he works with through Eldredge Recovery Resources.
In the midst of our mental health and addiction epidemic, Dirk recognizes the need for a compassionate, tailored approach to support those in crisis and their families. He teaches families to lead with love, providing thoughtful guidance, education and truth-telling, and teaches boundary-setting techniques to help families navigate the challenges of addiction and mental health.
People who are in crisis need a calm, safe, and thoughtful approach tailored to their unique needs.
His passion is treating each situation with loving kindness while bringing a keen eye toward solutions and healing. He practices active listening as an art and way of life. The journey of his life has prepared him best to help one family at a time with love, respect, and attention to detail & follow through with each step of both individual and family healing.
He created Eldredge Recovery Resources to help advocate for families who are trying to find their way through the darkness of addiction and mental health challenges and into the light of all that is possible in this life.
This work is intimate, important, and highly sensitive to everyone involved. His focus remains today & every day in treating everyone with the utmost respect and love.
My Story, my passion, is founded within my own journey.
A Highly Functioning Addict/alcoholic
After graduating from USC in the early 80s, I embarked on a 20-year battle with the progressive nature of addiction in the form of a highly functioning addict/alcoholic. My life looked from the outside like a large success, yet I was miserable and trapped in my disease which consumed my every action.
Finding Sobriety and Education
After getting sober in my early 40s, I went back to college at LMU to study addictionology and learn more about my disease. Through the advice of my gifted therapist, Dr. Randi Gunther and her belief that I would make a wonderful interventionist I embarked on becoming highly educated within the process of intervention by studying under two of the greatest, Ed Storti and Keith Fierman.
Performing Hundreds of Adaptive Family Interventions
What followed was performing hundreds of adaptive family interventions around the globe. Over the past 2 decades plus now I’ve continued to develop my craft of adaptive interventions as well as working for the Seattle Seahawks as their life coach while getting to two Super Bowls and winning one ring. I’ve worked with professional athletes, rock stars, moms and dads, sisters and brothers from every imaginable background.
And Overseeing and Running Treatment Centers
I have served as CEO for one of the finest (men’s only) treatment centers in America, Jaywalker Lodge, and helped to build as the CEO, a women’s only trauma center called Momenta Recovery. I know treatment after visiting well over 100 treatment centers and running two of them myself.
This experience is why I’m uniquely qualified to help families navigate through this entire process. I’m also a board-certified intervention professional (CIP) and a certified addiction counselor through my educational efforts at LMU.
