Outback Therapeutic Expeditions

Outback Therapeutic Expeditions is a premier wilderness therapy program dedicated to bringing families BACK together. Since our founding in 2001, we have helped thousands of young people get their lives back on track. We believe teens and families deserve the best and most thorough clinical treatment and support available. Our innovative and effective therapeutic experience for teens in crisis allows us to carry out our goal of providing families with as much information, instruction, and insight throughout treatment. Utilizing the wilderness as an alternative to traditional treatment settings, we guide adolescent teens and families in their process of reconnecting to Self, re-engaging to Family, and recommitting to Purpose. Our conventional yet highly sophisticated therapeutic methods infuse evidence-based psychological practices and provides a state of the art, clinically informed model unlike any other wilderness therapy program. Our innovative design allows for each department at Outback to be led by clinicians, every student works with a Primary Therapist with daily access to Associate Therapists, all families work with a dedicated Family Therapist, and a purpose driven adventure therapy is integrated into programming to focus on transition readiness. Outback Therapeutic Expeditions helps troubled teens who struggle with: • Depression • Trauma • Anxiety • Substance Use • Neurodiveristy • Attachment • Family Conflict • Grief/Loss • Identity Formation • Lack of Motivation/Underachievement • Gaming/Electronics Addiction • Social Pragmatic Difficulties
