Biography
Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist with a unique ability to connect with his audiences. Drawing upon his broad range of experiences in private practice, leadership consulting and media, he simplifies life’s issues and gives easy-to-understand, practical advice. It is Dr. Cloud’s humor, compassion and “in the moment” confrontation that make his approach to psychology and spirituality such a success.
Dr. Cloud has written or co-written twenty-five books, including the million-seller Boundaries. His most recent books are Necessary Endings and The Law of Happiness. He has earned three Gold Medallion awards, and was awarded the distinguished Retailers Choice award for God Will Make A Way.
God Will Make a Way was the focus of a book and television partnership with Integrity Publishers and Time-Life. Dr. Cloud has appeared on numerous radio and television broadcasts, including FOX News. He has also been featured in many publications, including the Los Angeles Times. Dr. Cloud co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio program New Life Live, which is heard in over 150 markets.

Dr. Cloud co-founded a health-care company that operated treatment centers in thirty-five cities in the Western United States; he served as Clinical Co-Director for ten years.
