Located in Bend, Oregon, Deschutes Wilderness Therapy has been helping families find a place of healing since 2012. Our program works with adolescents ranging in age from 12- 17 and young adults ages 18-28. We work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, self-harm, and much more. We want to be your partner in a path to healing and believe that the wilderness is the best place to find connection and joy. Students are in the program between 10-12 weeks, and we have rolling admission, year-round. Please reach out if we can help explain our program and whether we may be a good fit for you or your child.

Deschutes Wilderness Therapy is so excited to announce that Annette Pelletier, LCSW, has joined our clinical team. Welcome, Annette! Annette walks individuals through the healing process of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, family relational issues, attachment disorders, substance use disorders, emerging personality disorders, and other challenges. Annette is passionate about working with young adults and their families. She recognizes everyone has strengths to build upon to work toward growth and healing. Annette enjoys helping individuals see those strengths and build on those strengths to help them see their personal worth, helping them recognize they are enough, always have been enough, and always will be enough. It is important to Annette to help others learn how to navigate expressing their thoughts and feelings more openly and honestly so they can use their voices and show up in their lives more authentically. We are so glad you are here, Annette, and for the purpose, compassion and expertise that you bring to the team and to our students. Annette L.
