MISSION
Experience through adventure has the power to foster genuine healing for individuals, couples, families, or groups. In a safe, non-judgmental, and playful atmosphere, Life Adventures Counseling and Consulting strives to provide client-centered, strength-based services that promote interpersonal, social, and psychological wellness.

METHOD
The primary technique used is the power of experience through meaningful activity. This approach has been proven to be more memorable and deeply transformative than traditional, non-interactive approaches to therapy and learning. You will experience a non-judgmental atmosphere that emphasizes your strengths and abilities. This allows you to fully engage in your individualized process of healing and change.

RESOURCES
Current research in experiential education and psychology practice supports the effectiveness of adventure and experiential therapy. Life Adventures Counseling & Consulting feels strongly that we incorporate evidence-based practices into all of our programming. One way that we do this is to regularly attend the annual Research and Evaluation of Adventure Program Symposium. The purpose of this symposium is to forward the research agenda of improving the quantity and quality of evidence-based research in adventure education, connect research with practice (and researchers with practitioners), and explore how evidence-based research and evaluation can influence program quality and increase opportunities for funding.

The 2008 SYMPOSIUM focused on the purpose, need for, and issues surrounding evidence-based research in adventure education, programs that have benefited from engaging in research and/or evaluation, and program development that coincides with undertaking evidence-based research.
