For over 30 years, I have gotten to pour my heart, experience, and education into serving others. I spent most of those years working with professionals in a treatment setting. In 2019 I began working full-time with individuals for the purpose of advancing wellness. Appointments are available for consulting, mentoring, and counseling. I continue to educate and inspire through teaching and speaking. I have guided thousands of professionals from all walks of life and their families across the “Badlands” of addiction, stress illnesses, and burnout to the lives they were created to have. For 23 years, I was the Executive Director of the Center for Professional Excellence (CPE), which I founded in 1996. CPE was a powerfully effective treatment center that helped thousands of people get recovery of their hearts. Those people, in turn, have helped tens of thousands do the same. ​In 2003, I founded Sage Hill: A Social Impact Organization, dedicated to helping people see who they are made to be, so they can do what they are made to do. ​Both the Center for Professional Excellence and Sage Hill have their foundations built on the Spiritual Root System (1991), a simple and effective way of seeing how we are made, and integrating how we are made into the lives we desire. The Spiritual Root System’s starting point states that we are created as emotional and spiritual creatures, created to live fully through relationship with ourselves, others, and God. ​I received my PhD in Counseling from the University of North Texas in 1990 and my MA in English from the University of Mississippi in 1985. While in Texas I co-founded Bent Tree Counseling Center in Dallas. I served as the Clinical Director there until moving to Tennessee to continue work with professionals and their families. Chip has authored 7 books, including his most recent, "Hope in the Age of Addiction".
