Getting to know Clifford Porter

Clifford Porter, MA, MEd Licensed Professional Counselor | Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor With over 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction, I specialize in guiding individuals through challenges such as substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and sleep disturbances. My career in counseling began in 1990, leading me to earn a master's degree in counseling and gain extensive experience across outpatient and inpatient treatment settings, behavioral health programs, and hospital environments. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with medical teams to support patients facing psychiatric conditions, substance-related disorders, and behavioral health challenges. Additionally, I have worked alongside Pain Management teams to assess and differentiate patients' pain experiences from drug-seeking behaviors. Beyond direct clinical practice, I serve as a professor of counseling-related courses at a local college, where I am dedicated to training and mentoring future professionals in the field. My commitment to multicultural counseling stems from my time in the Air Force, where I had the privilege of working with diverse individuals from various backgrounds. This invaluable experience has shaped my approach, allowing me to provide culturally responsive and insightful care across a broad spectrum of client needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one that acknowledges your life experiences, relational dynamics, and personal beliefs that shape your worldview. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for self-exploration, growth, and meaningful change. Trained in a range of evidence-based treatment models, I tailor my approach to align with your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience. During our initial meeting, we will assess your concerns and determine the best path forward together.
