Job description

Overview

RedCliff Ascent is a licensed, accredited wilderness therapy program located in Southern Utah. We have 30+ years of experience using evidence-based practices to help families heal. As our Primary Therapist, you will be responsible for managing all therapeutic aspects of your assigned students and families. Your time will be spent both in the backcountry and the office.

Within our field, we also have ThreePeaks, a licensed Residential Treatment Center (yurts and cabins!). This remarkable development in how we can provide a wilderness experience is making effective treatment accessible to more families. While RedCliff and ThreePeaks are separate, you may have clients in both programs.

RedCliff Ascent and ThreePeaks combine the power of traditional and experiential therapies in a relationship-based model to effectively disrupt unhealthy patterns, assess the underlying issues, and re-engage our students and their families in the therapeutic process. As our Primary Therapist, you will work closely with our field staff to deliver the best program possible to our students and their families. Healthy relationships, novel and challenging experiences, and the incorporation of ceremony and ritual are how we foster the healing process and create lasting change.
