Wilderness Therapy




One Hour AT A Time show

Summary: Dr. Brad Reedy is the Co-Founder of Evoke Therapy Programs, a wilderness based therapy program utilizing primitive living, nomadic hiking, metaphor, and experiential therapies for adolescents, young adults and families suffering from addiction and mental health issues. Brad served on the Board of the Utah Department of Child and Family Services and the board of the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs. He also authored “The Journey of the Heroic Parent: Your Child’s Struggle & the Road Home.” Using his own story and stories from the thousands of families he has treated, he avoids offering simple advice, but encourages parents to become experts themselves, teaching parents how to think about parenting dilemmas. Healthy parenting is its own reward and his approach asks parents to change the question from “What should I do?” to “Who am I? Who is my child? and What is my relationship to their problems?”
