About
Adam Heldibridle began his journey in adolescent care in 2003 as a wilderness therapy guide leading youth through the pine forests of Florida, the mountains of Montana, and the deserts of Utah. Grounded in the belief that nature holds unmatched power for healing and self-discovery, Adam uses a Rogerian, emotionally focused, and skill-based approach to help young people navigate internal trauma, build self-awareness, and strengthen their connections to themselves, their families, and the environment.
Adam is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in mental health, wilderness therapy, and clinical settings. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of New Mexico and his Master of Social Work from Arizona State University.
Throughout his career, Adam has specialized in guiding clients through the complex terrain of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger management, autism spectrum disorder, and substance abuse. Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and formally trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), he works to equip adolescents with practical tools they can take back into their daily lives.
Outside of his clinical practice, Adam is continuously drawn back to quiet, wild spaces beyond the pavement. He remains committed to personal growth and finds renewal through wilderness exploration, outdoor adventures, and spending time in nature.
