It's no secret that relationships play a pivotal role in our recovery. While building resilience starts at the heart of wanting to overcome challenges and bounce back from relapse, having a strong support system is what often guides us back to health. If resilience is a reflection of who you are at your core, then relationships act as the mirror that allows you to see your true self.
In this conversation, Dr. Powers is joined by co-host George Joseph, with special guest Dr. Robert Hilliker. Dr. Hilliker's extensive 20-year career in addiction and mental health is marked by his profound dedication to fostering hope within clinical settings, co-founding The Lovett Center and Ethos Behavioral Health Group. In his educational journey, from earning a Master's degree at the University of Houston to completing a Ph.D. at the Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago, Dr. Hilliker has laid the foundation for his influential roles across several renowned institutions. Notably, his collaboration with Dr. Brené Brown at The Daring Way LLC and his leadership roles at The Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston and The Menninger Clinic highlight his significant contributions to the field. Currently, as the Chief Clinical Officer of Ethos Behavioral Health Group, he continues to shape the future of mental health care.
Innovation in clinical practice and education forms a cornerstone of Robert's work, evidenced by his Pilgrimage curriculum and Logos Groups, which reimagine treatment and community-based therapy. His commitment extends to teaching psychiatry residents at The University of Texas McGovern Medical School and leading groups at the Baylor College of Medicine. Recognized for his integrity and impact on the field with awards from the Menninger Clinic and the Houston Business Journal, Robert's life in Houston with his family mirrors his professional ethos, blending care, dedication, and a vision for transformative mental health practices.
