Shredding the notion that therapy has to be all about couches and clipboard conversations.
Skate Therapy combines the thrill of skateboarding with Adlerian Play Therapy techniques to create an innovative and engaging approach to therapy for children and adolescents.
Our approach integrates skateboarding’s natural lessons to help children foster a growth mindset and develop vital life skills, such as resilience and self-regulation. While traditional skateboarding instruction focuses on skill development, our program uses skateboarding’s inherent lessons to help kids achieve greater emotional balance.
Our program offers a unique alternative to traditional therapy, resonating with those who might not connect with conventional methods because:
Kids deserve to heal in ways that work for them.

What Clients Are Saying
“My son was really able to speak about his life and thoughts through Skate Therapy.
In his previous therapies he would never talk and he just played, there was very little progress. This was really beneficial. Thank you!”

"My son was struggling with confidence and motivation as he entered his junior year of high school.
He and Clayton clicked immediately. Together they helped my son develop skills that he continues to use in college”
