Invite you to the presentation of:

Understanding Cutting Edge Brain-based Therapies and Advanced Trauma Work
By Sandy Newes of Clear View Psychological Services 
&
Steve Sawyer of New Vision Wilderness
Today's understanding of the brain has advanced, so has our understanding of the effects of chronic stress/trauma. This has led to the development of cutting edge brain-based psychotherapies. Expanding on previous workshops, we will examine the neuroscience of trauma and effective trauma treatment tools. Basics of traumatic material storage in the brain, dissociation, the adverse effects on neural integration and associated difficulties with self-regulation will also be discussed. An introduction to several new brain-based psychotherapies will be offered including EMDR, Brainspotting, and HeartMath. We will also explore neurofeedback and biofeedback, presenting research and case studies throughout.

Now Including: 
Trauma Sensitive Yoga Research and the Brain

Steve Sawyer Clinical Director and Co-Founder Visits The Field

Why Wilderness Therapy?

Steve Sawyer Explains his take on why wilderness therapy works and why he started New Vision Wilderness Therapy.



To learn more about Steve Sawyer or Our Clinical Resources to Help Your Teen click here.

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.


Credentials of our clinical staff are frequently updated here.

  A view overlooking the mountain ranges of Central Oregon.

New Vision Wilderness - West Coast is happy to announce that we have relocated our offices and primary operating area to the high desert of Central Oregon.  With the changing of the seasons, and in preparations for the coming winter, moving our operations to Bend is an exciting development that will allow our team to have greater accessibility and better communications with our field operations. 
 
Drew Hornbeck, President and Co-Founder has relocated his family to Bend, Oregon as well.  "With the growth and success of our North Wood's program in Central Wisconsin. I'm thrilled to be able to join the dynamic and talented team that we've got here in Oregon. The move has allowed me to dedicate a substantial amount of my energy translating and growing all of the special elements that makes New Vision Wilderness an amazing therapeutic option for our clients."

New Vision West Coast serves adolescent 14-17 and young adults 18-25.  Our Trauma Informed Care model is a sensitive approach to working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relational and adoption issues and dual diagnosis.  By combining the healing power of nature with advanced brain based clinical techniques and bio-feedback, our highly trained therapists are able to help instill lasting positive change with our clients without harmful behavioral modification strategies.

"New Vision is more than just a name" says Rob Koning, Executive Director.  "It's a new approach to wilderness therapy which continues to rewrite what's possible working with clients in the outdoors."

New Vision Wilderness offers two locations with programs for adolescents and young adults in Oregon and pre-teens and adolescents in Wisconsin.
