Meet Gianna

Gianna Yunker, CIP, CAI, CFRS, CRS

Family Systems Specialist & Intervention Professional
Founder, Interventions With Love

Gianna Yunker is a triple board certified Family Systems Specialist and Intervention Professional, and the Founder of Interventions With Love, a family centered practice dedicated to supporting families impacted by addiction, complex mental health challenges, disordered eating, and major life transitions.

Gianna works primarily with parents, partners, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck in crisis patterns, or unsure how to support a loved one without enabling harmful behavior. Her work focuses on helping families stabilize the system around them by strengthening boundaries, improving communication, and developing practical plans that support long-term recovery. She brings a trauma-informed, systems-based approach that emphasizes clarity, pacing, emotional safety, and nonjudgmental support, recognizing that meaningful recovery rarely happens in isolation. Lasting change requires shifts across the entire family system.

In addition to ongoing family systems work and case management, Gianna provides professional intervention services using evidence-based, family-centered models. She works closely with families to prepare for and facilitate interventions, coordinate treatment placement, and support families through early recovery and aftercare planning. Her intervention work balances compassion with accountability and places a strong emphasis on realistic boundaries, thoughtful preparation, and preserving relationships whenever possible.

Gianna holds multiple professional certifications, including Certified Intervention Professional (CIP), Certified ARISE® Interventionist (CAI), Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS), and Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS). With more than a decade of experience in family systems work, she partners with families nationwide to help them move from crisis and confusion toward greater stability, connection, and sustainable change.

Gianna’s commitment to this work is also personal. Having grown up in a family impacted by addiction and generational trauma, she understands firsthand how deeply these challenges affect relationships, trust, and family dynamics. That experience informs the empathy she brings to her work, while her professional training and years of experience guide the structured support she provides to families navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Outside of her work, Gianna enjoys recharging through yoga and mindfulness, traveling with her husband, and spending time with her dog Ruby. She is also an avid reader who enjoys starting the day with a strong cup of coffee and a good book.

"Thank you for always being so quick and prompt. You saved us and are continuing to save us. I can’t even say how grateful I am and even put it into words. Your positivity, non-judgmental, and loving approach is exactly what this family needs. You're a very special person, and I hope you know that the work you do is nothing short of a miracle."
