Teens need something other than just talk therapy

​Belonging is a central theme in the adolescent phase of life. They need a tribe to communicate with beyond social media. 
​
​WE DO THIS ON THE CHS DESERT TRIP

Evidence-based therapeutic modalities facilitated in a setting that is fun!  We take what is created on The Desert Trip and keep the self-growth and community thriving.
Through group experiences that build connection, they are given the opportunity to self-actualize into who they are and what they are capable of:
f
Meaningful friendships
Taking career opportunities
Execution of ideas
Creative expression
​Socio-emotional skills
​
​LET'S CONTINUE THE MAGIC

Therapy is: a space for truth, moving towards freedom and unity

What We Do​
  • Twice weekly 2 hour group therapy sessions in an outdoor setting
  • Day-long wilderness experientials each month
  • Rites of Passage ceremony
  • Family Weekend for integration and cohesion with parents
Each group session will include: a mindfulness practice, a physical practice, buddy check-ins, group process, and an experiential on the theme of the month. 

Day-long weekend sessions at the end of the month will feature a workshop designed to instill the theme of the month, with a special staff guest to offer their unique gifts on the topic.

A Rites of Passage ceremony at the end of the cohort’s journey together will test themselves to trust their newfound skills and resilience to take back out into the world.

Family Weekend will review the communication skills needed for a healthy relationship as well as join the parent-child unit in a newfound understanding. of who each other are.
