Joe Ortiz is the Founder of Transcend Interventions, a private intervention and family recovery firm dedicated to helping families move from chaos to clarity during moments of addiction-related crisis.

Joe is an educated, trained, and mentored Interventionist and Recovery Coach, with formal training from Brad Lam (Break Free Method) and Dr. Robert Meyers (CRAFT Method) — having been trained directly by both leaders in the field. His work is grounded in evidence-based family engagement, compassionate communication, and practical strategies that support meaningful change.

With over thirty-six years in healthcare as a licensed Respiratory Therapist, and twenty six years as a medical marketing professional and entrepreneur, Joe brings a rare blend of clinical experience, systems thinking, and leadership to the intervention process. He has worked in the addiction and recovery field for seven years and brings the perspective of lived experience, having been in recovery himself for over twelve years.

Joe leads a carefully curated network of experienced, independent interventionists, each with at least five years of established professional practice. These professionals are selected for their ethics, experience, and ability to work collaboratively within a coordinated firm structure that ensures accountability, communication, and continuity of care for families.

Joe is known for his calm, grounded presence in moments of crisis. Families trust him not just because of what he knows — but because of how he shows up: steady, honest, and focused on solutions. His work is rooted in dignity, accountability, and the belief that healing is possible — even when things feel impossible.
