Therapeutic Excursions
What Are Therapeutic Excursions?
Therapeutic Excursions are outdoor-based healing experiences that combine physical activity, peer support, and professional mental health care. These excursions are designed to help participants reconnect with their bodies, their community, and themselves — using movement and nature as powerful tools for growth and recovery.
Through hiking, climbing, paddling, and other active experiences, mentees are given the opportunity to build trust, develop confidence, and process life’s challenges in a supported and dynamic environment. We believe healing happens when people are seen, supported, and in motion.
Our Clinical Leadership
We are thrilled to share that our Therapeutic Excursions are guided in part by:
- Dr. Joe Abhold, Psychologist – providing on-site psychotherapy
- Dr. Alison Jones, Psychiatrist – offering psychiatric consultation and medication management for mentees
Their clinical leadership brings additional depth to these experiences, ensuring both safety and meaningful therapeutic engagement for participants who choose to incorporate mental health care into their outdoor journey.
Expert Partnerships
We love partnering with local professionals to enhance the safety and quality of our excursions. Whether we’re rock climbing, scaling an ice wall, or crossing challenging terrain, we collaborate with skilled instructors and certified guides to lead the way.
These partnerships allow us to offer high-impact, technically sound adventures that push limits — physically, emotionally, and mentally — in all the right ways.
