field’s innovators. He is certified in clinical hypnosis and
marriage and family therapy, and he has taught these subjects at
the advanced doctoral level.
Dr. Claiborn trained with Dr.
Milton Erickson in 1978, and he has taught Ericksonian and other
paradoxical and family systems approaches locally and
nationally. Dr. Claiborn’s doctoral research focused on group
therapy, and he has published a textbook chapter on assessment
of couples and families.
Dr. Claiborn’s therapy style is a
mixture of teaching, coaching, fun, and optimistic
confrontation. His style reflects his respect for an
individual’s ability to make choices, and his approach can be
characterized as existential and educational. He tailors his
therapeutic approach uniquely to each client’s personality,
utilizing the client’s strengths and respecting the client’s
values.

of psychotherapy. He is also Chair of the Ethics Committee for
