Trauma and adverse childhood experiences are common and ordinary. If left untreated, they can affect your ability to feel safe, trust others, feel hopeful about your future and affect your ability to form healthy relationships at home, at school/work and in the community throughout the life-cycle. Many clients are unable to identify, name or explain their trauma, requiring a combination of both psychotherapy and movement to process their trauma. Comprehensive and innovative trauma-sensitive treatment approaches are available that reduce symptoms, improve behaviors and increase an overall sense of health and wellbeing.
Urban-based Adventures provides a comprehensive and innovative bio/psycho/social/eco approach to treat trauma for children, youth and families using outdoor rock climbing. UBA offers clinical seminars and training for social workers and youth counselors interested in learning more about this approach. Telemental health sessions are also available.
Children, youth and their families no longer have to suffer because of mental health conditions caused by trauma. Comprehensive and innovative mental health treatments have never been more accessible or affordable than now. Schedule a free consultation and find out which treatment approach, clinical training or telemental health option is right for you.

I use a comprehensive bio/psycho/social/eco model to treat trauma that is grounded in psychodynamic theory (attachment and trauma) as well as experiential and ecological therapies which are built into the outdoor rock climbing experience. UBA is client-centered, which means the clients work towards their treatment goals at their own the pace.

Hosted by
Dr. Clifton Hicks

Adventure-based Group Psychotherapy combines psychotherapy with outdoor rock climbing to treat PTSD as well as other mental health disorders including ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Groups form healthy relationships to manage risk inherent in the outdoor rock climbing experience. These relationships support epigenetic transitions in development, help to repair parent/child ruptures and build self-efficacy through enhanced feelings of trust, hope, safety, control and mastery. Ideal for children, youth, and their families living in urban communities seeking alternative therapeutic treatment in the local natural environment.
