Marc Kantor, CIP

CEO & Founder

Certified MH & Addiction Interventionist

Marc Kantor, a native of Long Island, New York, graduated from John F. Kennedy High School and earned his degree from American University in Washington, D.C., in 1996. Initially forging a successful career as a commercial real estate broker, Marc managed over 10 million square feet of transactions for multinational corporations, the U.S. government, and major real estate developers. He earned accolades such as Top Producer, Top Business Development Professional, and recognition for the Largest Transaction.

In 2004, Marc underwent inpatient treatment for drug addiction and alcoholism, codependency and an eating disorder at the Betty Ford Center, which inspired a significant career shift. By 2014, he began training to become an interventionist, earning his Certified Intervention Professional (CIP) designation.

Relocating to South Florida in 2018 with his wife and daughter, Marc founded South Florida Intervention, offering comprehensive recovery services for individuals and families facing addiction and mental health challenges. In 2023, he co-founded Versa Pointe, an exclusive treatment alternative for executive men in Jupiter, Florida. Marc is the author of How to Do an Intervention: A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents (2020). He has also contributed to mental health initiatives as a board member for Active Minds, supporting mental health for college students across more than 600 campuses, and CrisisLink, the crisis and suicide prevention hotline for the Washington, D.C. area.

In addition to his work as a concierge mental health and addiction interventionist, Marc provides ongoing strategic consulting to the J. Flowers Health Institute in Houston and works alongside the organization’s founder, Dr. James Flowers, to help further the Institute’s mission to promote whole-body wellness for complex clients with mental health and medical diagnoses.

You do not have to navigate this crisis alone. There is hope, and there is a solution for your family.
