Welcome to A Way Through, a podcast brought to you by Archway Academy! The purpose of this podcast is to remind you that though you may not see it now, something different is possible; Recovery is possible!
**The views and opinions expressed by our guests are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of Archway Academy. Any content provided by our student co-host(s) or guests are of their opinion and are not intended to reflect the philosophy and policies of Archway Academy itself. Nor is it intended to malign any recovery method, religion, ethnic group, club, organization, company, individual, or anyone or anything.
In this episode of A Way Through, Jamie Edwards, Director of Community Relations at Archway Academy, is joined by Dean Porterfield, LPC-MHSP, NCC. Dean is Executive Director of ARCH Academy and Owner of Do Life! Counseling and Consulting, PLLC in Nashville, TN.
Dean has been with Cumberland Heights for over 11 years, has served as Executive Director of an outdoor therapeutic program for adolescent males for over ten years, and has also served on the Board of Directors of NATSAP (National Board of Therapeutic Schools and Programs), and frequently presents at national, international, and local conferences.
Dean is also an approved LPC clinical supervisor and brings over 24 years of experience working with the adolescent population and their families. He believes in a strength-based approach and understands that authentic relationships with the teens and families we serve are paramount for lasting change. Dean is also invested in combining true-tested approaches such as the Twelve steps with other evidence-based clinical intervention modalities to treat substance abuse and the underlying struggles that complement the teen’s self-medicating behavior. Dean is a sought speaker who has spoken at numerous conferences nationally and internationally throughout his career.
