About Charles
Charles Robinson is the Executive Clinical Director of Clean Recovery Centers in Tampa, Florida. An extremely gifted healer with over 40 years in the mental health field, he was trained classically as well as in Eastern philosophy and techniques. He calls the Clean Recovery Program the culmination of his life’s work.

Through a technique called the Witness State, he allows people to watch themselves as they progress through each stage of their recovery. He is also an expert in meditation and the creator of Kai Chi Do, an aerobic treatment martial arts program similar to Tai Chi but with more movement and fun.
