Therapy offers
“Life Success Through Experiential & Adventure Modes™”. LifeSTREAM
Therapy programs, based in Portland, Oregon, have as their
mission the provision of family centered, research based, strengths-focused
services that are engaging, action oriented and fun. They serve youth
who are diagnosed with co-occurring disorders, also helping their
families with communication and conflict issues and providing aftercare
support for the youth following residential treatment.
They work in individual, group and family sessions. In addition to
traditional “talk therapy”, they also use other therapeutic methods
that include: Cooperative problem solving activities and games, Climbing
Walls, Challenge “Ropes” Courses, Psychodrama & Family Sculpture,
and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. All their groups are co-ed, ten
weeks in length and include family members on alternating weeks. Their
current offerings include: “Unscrewing Yourself”, Anger management
for ages 13 to 17, “Dogtown”, Social skills for ages 11 to 13, and
“Choices”, which deals with substance abuse problems, for ages 14 to
17. The Choices group is suitable for Level 1 treatment, drawing its
curriculum from the Cannabis Youth Treatment Series.
Russell C. Chamberlain, LCSW, CADCIII, MAC, who leads this practice,
has twenty–four years experience providing therapy, training and consultation
services in adventure based programming. He has worked in a variety
of settings throughout the United States including the Pacific
