Cali has been featured on NBC Universal News for her work with Addictions and published in several journals and books with her work on ADD and Relationships. Cali’s multidimensional approach focuses on getting to the underlying cause of the problem and working in the present to combat the issues by creating a safe and secure environment for her clients to learn and grow and tackle life challenges. Her unique background blend of psychotherapy, life coaching and wellness coaching allows the client to get to the underlying cause of their issues quicker, safer and produce results faster.  Many families think that addiction issues are primarily related to external substances like drugs, alcohol, and, more recently, legal synthetic drugs. While this is true, addiction can also take many other forms including internet, social media, gaming, and gambling. These internal issues can be difficult for parents to understand because there are not any identified substances. On this show, we will speak with Cali Estes, the addiction coach, about different types of addiction, what behaviors signal a problem, and what parents can do help their struggling family member.
