What to Expect
Climbing counseling takes place at the Planet Granite. I will meet you in the front lobby at your scheduled appointment time and we will get you checked in and fitted with gear as needed (gear rental is included in session rates).
We will begin the session with a check-in in the PG instructional room. The check-in includes both a verbal check-in and a mindfulness exercise. Your session plan will be based on the information we touch on during your check-in, and we will choose climbing and therapeutic exercises based on your needs for that day.
Beginning climbers are welcome! Many of my clients have never climbed before, and all sessions are customized based on the individual and what would be most beneficial for them at the time of the session.
During each session, we will work on practicing skills that will be useful for the real-life challenges you identified in the check-in. After each climbing exercise, we will discuss the experience - what you felt, how each skill practice went, and how you might take this skill off the wall and apply it moment by moment in your daily life.
