What is adventure therapy?A picture may be worth a thousand words, but an experience is worth a thousand pictures. Adventure therapy is the intentional use of present-moment experience in individual or group counseling. These first hand experiences in nature and in the office illuminate your path to change, and give you the opportunity to practice that change in the moment. Your work begins by getting to know each other in the safety of an office or park, and gradually working our way out into the wider world. Adventure therapy means sitting in the park, playing games, challenge courses, hiking, rock climbing or paddling - each experience is uniquely created for you.

The Wild and Wonderful Process:
Our process is simple: We start with safety and relationship. Your hurts were caused by others - family, friends, partners or the world at large - those hurts are most likely to be healed when you fin yourself in a safe relationship with your therapist. As we progress, we will dive into skill development, practicing mindfulness and DBT skills, changing your perspective and beliefs about yourself. With skills well established, our work can progress in deeper ways: full body climbing experiences, hikes, solo trips and even psychedelic-assisted therapy.
