Who We Are
Experience and passion are the most critical elements for success as a wilderness therapist. When John, Karen and Lynn founded Elements, they already had over 40 years of combined wilderness-therapy experience to inform their program design and treatment philosophy. From the beginning, they have only hired experienced, master’s level wilderness therapists and seasoned field staff with a demonstrated love for this uniquely demanding and rewarding work. Elements builds on this strong foundation of experience and passion by offering continuous on the job training, certifications and supervision in wilderness therapy, DBT, Seven Challenges, wilderness safety and emergency medicine. We know that even the best treatment team is never done learning and growing.
