Dr. Michael Cowl Gordon to Speak (Virtually) with Clearfork Academy Families

Posted on October 16, 2025, tagged as

Dr. Michael Cowl Gordon, author of Seeking a Higher Power and The Twelve Step Pathway: A Heroic Journey of Recovery, will be joining the parents and guardians of Clearfork Academy teens for a special virtual session on recovery and growth through The Heroic Journey Framework.

Clearfork Academy, located in Fort Worth, Texas, is a faith-based residential treatment center dedicated to helping adolescent boys overcome substance use, mental health, and behavioral challenges. Their program combines clinical excellence, spiritual guidance, and family involvement to create a lasting foundation for recovery.

In his talk, Dr. Gordon will explore how The Heroic Journey – a story-based path drawn from myth, psychology, and spirituality – can help both teens and their families understand recovery as a process of transformation.

This virtual conversation will help parents see their child’s recovery through a new lens. One that blends compassion with personal growth and a deeper sense of purpose.

Dr. Gordon’s message reminds families that the journey of healing belongs to everyone involved. It’s not just about abstinence; it’s about becoming whole, connected, and ready to help others on their path.
