Clifford York, MS

Title:
Clinician - Full Time
Since:
2010
Experience:
Cliff graduated from Argosy University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and from Grand Canyon University with a Masters of Science in Addiction Counseling. “Since high school I have wanted to work in the helping profession”. Cliff has worked in out-patient, methadone maintenance and residential settings. He last worked at Freedom House, an adult male long term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.
Theory:
Cliff believes that in early abstinence drugs and alcohol will often be used as a coping mechanism, and has found Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) an effective cognitive/behavioral approach. This therapy challenges irrational beliefs and in the process helps one deal with his or her emotions. Cliff especially enjoys working with families, believing that the family is an integral component in the addict’s recovery. Cliff uses a structural family therapy approach that looks at addiction in the individual as a problem that actually involves every part of the family system.
Hobbies:
Cliff does his best to stay physically fit and exercises regularly. Both Cliff and his wife Lisa share a passion for fishing, and when time permits you can find them on streams and lakes armed with their fly rods.
