Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.
-Greg Child

What Is Climbing Counseling?
Climbing counseling promotes full body integration, increases confidence, self-awareness, and promotes a general sense of self-efficacy. It utilizes the latest findings from neuroscience to support creating new experiences, and therefore new neuropathways in the brain.

Why do we focus so intensely on our problems? What draws us to them? Why are they so attractive? They have the magnet power of love; somehow we desire our problems; we are in love with them much as we want to get rid of them. Problems sustain us, maybe that’s why they don’t go away. What would a life be without them? Completely tranquilized and loveless; There is a secret love hiding in each problem.

Dynamic approach to counseling.
Above and beyond traditional talk-therapy, climbing counseling increases a person's capacity to be present with and constructively navigate their own emotional responses.
