New Vision Wilderness' strengths reside in the intensity of clinical interventions, its relational therapy and true Trauma Informed Care (TIC) model. New Vision Wilderness tailors the entire intervention process by the understanding that the field environment is a stressed environment. Focusing on advanced neural science allows for an effective and safe impact of teens. The safest measure for the human brain is strong attuned relationships. The relational model allows interventions to work their way up the brain stem to a state of overall healing.


Most residential treatments and wilderness programs offer 1 to 2 individual client sessions per week, at New Vision Wilderness we offer 3 individual sessions per week as well as multiple group therapy sessions each week. In addition to the individual and group therapy session our clinicians are trained in modern, cutting edge, and evidence based interventions.

New Vision Wilderness Offers interventions and programs including:

-Art Therapy
-Gardening
-Trauma Informed Yoga
-Body/Somatic Awareness
-And the Mastery System


New Vision Wilderness embraces that each client has a path, and the road to getting there can not be reached by a cookie cutter approach. NVW’s Mastery System was founded on helping individuals become a master of whatever they choose, and our therapeutic job is to assist in getting the blocks out of the way whether they are emotional, or historical. We foster independence through empowerment, knowledge and personal growth.
