Our Team and Philosophy
Every family situation is nuanced and deserves an individualized map for health and success. The Firm combines nationally documented intervention experience with direct, accountable family guidance from Nashville.
Darren Hobbs, CIP — Founder and President
Darren Hobbs is a Nashville-based Certified Intervention Professional and founder and president of The Firm Addiction Consulting. A&E features Darren as an interventionist and CIP on Intervention, and PragerU maintains his dedicated presenter profile. FOX Nation has also featured Darren in national conversations about addiction and fentanyl.
With 15 years of experience serving families nationally and in international engagements, Darren combines intervention strategy, independent treatment guidance, family-system work, and practical follow-through. He developed Love Them Without Losing Yourself to help families change the conditions surrounding addiction without abandoning the person they love.
Darren’s family methodology
Darren developed Love Them Without Losing Yourself: connection without control, compassion without enabling, boundaries without abandonment, and influence without coercion. The principles form a consistent foundation, but Darren maps their application to the nuance of each family rather than forcing families into a script.
Zach Livingston, Interventionist and Recovery Coach
Zach Livingston, CIP, CCMI, is a nationally recognized interventionist and recovery coach featured alongside Darren Hobbs on A&E’s Intervention.
Zach is known for bringing calm, credibility, and uncompromising accountability to complex family situations. His work combines lived experience, professional credentials, residential-treatment experience, case management, and nationally televised intervention work.
Lizzie Harrigan, Clinical Director
As Clinical Director, Lizzie Harrigan brings extensive clinical experience to assessment, case consultation, treatment coordination, and quality of care.

A multidisciplinary response when the case requires it
The Firm may coordinate physicians, clinicians, travel nurses, and appropriately qualified security professionals based on the needs and risks of an individual case. Team composition is never presented as a substitute for 911, 988, emergency departments, or local emergency responders.
Verified media and professional profiles
