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.
