Dr. Scott Bandoroff is not your typical psychologist. Although you may find Scott in the office doing what psychologists are known to do, you are just as likely to encounter him on a challenge course, in the wilderness, or even in the boardroom engaging corporate executives in some type of experiential activity or wilderness pursuit as a vehicle for change.

Dr. Bandoroff is a relational therapist; he believes that all disorders are rooted in impaired relationships with significant others and therefore, true healing can only occur within the context of relationship. Scott prides himself on developing deep, caring and trusting relationships with his clients.

Whether it be therapy, staff development, or clinical training, Scott is most comfortable with a rope or a ball in his hand than with paper and pen. Adventure makes learning fun and makes change stick! From confused and defiant teens to skeptical veteran employees, there is no better process for inspiring and motivating clients than adventure programming.

• I have personally worked with youth programs, both residential and wilderness based, for over twelve years and in all that time I have never met anyone that is more caring and supportive than Dr. Scott Bandoroff. Scott is always going the extra mile and has a heart the size of Utah. He understands the challenges of today’s youth and families and knows how to connect with them both experientially and spiritually, which in my experience is the ONLY way to connect. Charles P. Huge, PhD

• Dr. Bandoroff's services with our program staff has proved, over and over again, a very useful way for our three teams to come together, communicate more effectively, and teambuild. Using an outside resource is by far, the best method we have seen work for our staff. Dr. Bandoroff is a caring, wise, creative, and empowering force and professional. I am hoping to utilize his services on a regular annual basis, to maintanin staff morale and improve communication patterns. William D. Hoffman
