Taking psychotherapy beyond the office setting into movement-based therapeutic experiences. Traditionally, mental health issues are treated by a combination of medication and psychotherapy. At Alliance Experiential Counseling, we enhance results by engaging our clients in physical activities, such as hiking, rock climbing, walking, biking, fishing, and yoga to complement traditional treatment methods.
Experiential therapy provides an opportunity for clients who may be resistant to opening up and sharing in a clinical setting to feel more comfortable talking and sharing while they are in motion. Acknowledging the powerful connection between the mind and body, our activities-based program improves overall wellness not only by talking, but by doing.
This therapeutic alliance, the partnership between therapist and client using experiential counseling, yields mental health benefits that reach far beyond what might be experienced within an office setting. There is a large body of scientific evidence on the benefits of exercise and nutrition for mental health and overall well-being.

When a client struggles with anxiety, he or she experiences an array of symptoms that are triggered by the flight or fight response.
When encountering a stressor-situations, things, places, or people that trigger the fear response-the body's sympathetic nervous system instantly begins producing stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline.
This fear response is sometimes due to an irrational or exaggerated response to situations or is triggered by memories of a past trauma.
For teens, this might include having to present an oral report at school, trying out for an extracurricular activity, intense fear of being judged or embarrassed publicly, or academic pressures.

Autism spectrum disorder is a disorder of an individual's communication skills, which features a diverse range of levels of functioning.
In many cases, autism can diagnosed in early childhood, typically around age three.
However, in many cases autism can go undetected well into teenage years or even early adulthood.
While the rates of autism diagnoses continue to rise, there has not yet been a definitive cause of the disorder provided by the scientific community.
Teens or young adults with autism tend to become socially isolated, which only further inhibits their functioning abilities.
