about us
Wild Desert Therapy
The wilderness in each of our lives can be terrifying at first, but with support and tools we can learn how to navigate this wilderness, accept the uncertainty, and find joy and connection with ourselves and others.
We are inspired by the founders many years living and working in the deserts of Arizona and Utah as well as by her great grandfather and grandmother Campbell and Lynn Loughmiller who loved the Texas wilderness and were passionate about helping struggling youth and families.
Tributing the desert wilderness as part of this therapy practice is a symbol of experiences and beliefs that humans are resilient and creatively find ways of not just surviving during tough times, but thriving.
In the physical space we create in our lobby and office, we hope you and your family will find it warm and comforting, as well as fun!
