Will Henderson is a therapist with extensive experience supporting adolescents and families in outdoor behavioral healthcare settings. He brings a steady, research-informed, and relationship-centered approach to his work, helping young people build emotional regulation, responsibility, and confidence while supporting families through complex transitions.

Will earned his Master of Social Work from the University of Houston, with concentrations in nonprofit leadership and systems-level social work. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Baylor University and completed graduate coursework in Outdoor Adventure Leadership at Wheaton College. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, further deepening his focus on ethical leadership, program quality, and systems-level care.

Will has worked with adolescents and young adults in outdoor settings since 2012, across camp programs, wilderness expeditions, and higher education environments. After guiding river trips in the Texas wilderness on the Pecos River and leading outdoor programming in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan, he joined Redcliff Ascent as a field guide in 2019. He later served as Assistant Field Director in 2020 and Field Director from 2021 to 2023, supporting staff development, program quality, and the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of field operations. Through this work, Will witnessed the profound impact wilderness settings can have on young people who feel stuck, disconnected, or defeated. These experiences ultimately led him to pursue formal clinical training and his MSW in order to work more deeply and directly in the therapeutic process.

In his clinical role, Will draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential education, and psychodrama, integrating evidence-informed practices with the unique opportunities offered by wilderness and residential treatment environments. He has worked closely with adolescents navigating emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, substance use, trauma, and challenges related to motivation and identity. His approach is strengths-based, helping students separate their behaviors from their sense of self so they can move forward with greater clarity, self-compassion, and hope.

Will believes the wilderness offers a uniquely powerful setting for change. Through challenge, reflection, and shared experience, students often discover strengths they did not know they had and begin to rewrite narratives shaped by shame or failure. He has seen young people move from deep discouragement to renewed belief in themselves as they hike through snow, cross wide valleys, and stand on the peaks of mountains. These experiences reinforce resilience, responsibility, and the belief that growth and healing are possible. Will believes meaningful change happens best within safe, intentional therapeutic systems built on trust, clear expectations, and strong relationships.

Outside of his professional work, Will enjoys art, gravel biking, packrafting, and exploring new places.
