Frequently Asked Questions

No, Rooted Life Adventures is not a clinical or therapeutic program. Instead, we provide a supportive environment led by a full-time, live-in coaching professional trained in trauma-informed practices.
We focus on fostering personal growth, developing healthy social skills, and creating meaningful adventures—without offering clinical treatment.
Moreover, our coaching approach is forward-focused, solutions-based, and prioritizes the "how" aspect.
How is my therapist involved?
Families invest significant time and care in finding the right therapeutic fit for their child, and we aim to honor and build upon that strong foundation.
From the very beginning of our program, each participant’s therapist is actively involved in the onboarding process. Together, we collaborate on goal setting and preparation to ensure a smooth and purposeful start.
Throughout the program, therapists continue to meet virtually with their clients.
How much does this program cost?
The 6-week program is $16,500 USD and the 10-week program is $25,000 USD.
