Counselors, educators, and group facilitators can schedule individual consultation sessions. We’ll tailor conversations to meet your specific needs and interests for bringing experiential learning and adventure therapy to life in your practice or in your classroom.
Congratulations to those of you graduating with a Master's Degree in counseling! If you're looking for a supervisor to help you with your Texas LPC licensure and interested in learning more about adventure therapy, call 210-391-2569 so we can evaluate whether we'd fit well together. When possible, I invite my supervisees to co-facilitate groups with me on a ropes course, when paddling in a kayak on the rivers of South Texas, or when hiking in local parks. Oftentimes, I'll invite my associates to do their supervision with me in these locations as well.
