Owner, Tegmentum Counseling Services, Meridian

Cloeie Hood, LCSW, is a mental health wizard with a knack for turning life’s lemons into lemonade. Once the fearless leader as clinical director at Recovery 4 Life, Cloeie now wields her therapeutic wand at Tegmentum Counseling Services. With a special charm for Substance Use Disorder and Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, Cloeie sprinkles her practices with a dash of harm reduction magic. When she’s not vanquishing demons of addiction and trauma or enlightening minds giving presentations in the community, you’ll find Cloeie cultivating her own little Garden of Eden one seedling at a time, battling it out in epic board games, or wrangling her two boys, two cats, and husband, with the help of her trusty sidekick, the family dog.
