Will Henderson , CSW

Will Henderson brings a steady, research-informed, and relationship-centered approach to adolescent therapy. Having spent over a decade guiding young people through wilderness expeditions, river trips, and outdoor leadership programs, Will firmly believes that nature offers an unparalleled environment for growth. He focuses on helping teens separate their self-worth from past behaviors, rewrite negative self-narratives, and build lasting emotional regulation, self-compassion, and confidence.

Will is a Certified Social Worker (CSW) with more than 14 years of experience working with adolescents in outdoor behavioral healthcare, wilderness therapy, and educational settings. He earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston, a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Baylor University, and completed graduate coursework in Outdoor Adventure Leadership at Wheaton College. He is currently pursuing his Doctor of Behavioral Health at Arizona State University.

Will’s background spans field leadership and clinical practice. He previously served as a field guide, Assistant Field Director, and Field Director at Redcliff Ascent, where he oversaw safety, staff development, and program quality before transitioning into direct clinical practice. Clinically, he integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodrama, and experiential modalities to support youth struggling with trauma, impulsivity, substance use, and identity challenges.

Outside of his clinical work, Will is an avid outdoorsman and creative thinker who enjoys gravel biking, packrafting, art, and exploring new landscapes.
