Bart J. Walsh, MSW, LCSW, DCSW, owner of Affinity Counseling and Hypnosis and director at Milton Erickson Institute of Portland, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Healthcare Professionals for dedication, achievements, and leadership in health care.

With over three and a half decades of experience, Mr. Walsh has built a successful career in health care, specializing in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, trauma treatment, and substance abuse. He has served as the director of the Milton Erickson Institute of Portland since 1997 and has been the owner of Affinity Counseling and Hypnosis since 1990. In these roles, he focuses on the psychotherapeutic treatment of individuals, couples, and families, explores ways to influence gene expression, and develops methods for managing chronic illnesses and debilitating disorders. Additionally, he provides hypnotherapy training for qualified professionals. His career includes experience in community mental health from 1987 to 1994, as well as serving as social services and activities director at a local convalescent center. He is also an author, with works including “Care of the Self: Owner’s Manual” and “Utilization Sobriety—A Substance Abuse Solution,” and is a skilled musician, playing both flute and saxophone.

Reflecting on his path, Mr. Walsh has gained recognition for his groundbreaking work in substance misuse through his “utilization sobriety” approach. Early in his career, he explored substance abuse treatment models and discovered that the human body functions as a biological library, storing information on substances. He then developed a signaling system that allows the unconscious mind to communicate through finger movements, enabling individuals to identify the positive aspects of the substances they use and helping them understand their impact on thoughts, moods, and behaviors. He attributes his success to his deep connection with people, curiosity and willingness to explore different approaches.

In recent years, Mr. Walsh has expanded his European network by conducting training sessions in Turkey and Krakow, Poland, with plans for future sessions in Norway. He is focused on spreading knowledge about epigenetics and genomics, highlighting their influence on gene expression and their potential to alleviate suffering, particularly for individuals battling diseases like cancer. Eager to make this information more accessible, he is dedicated to helping others take control of their health and well-being. In the coming years, he aims to continue expanding his reach and providing valuable insights to health professionals and individuals alike.
