LOCATION:

Groups will be conducted at Wall Crawlers Climbing Gym, located at 1522 DeKalb Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307.

We are currently running the climbing program for two age groups: 12-13-year-old boys and 14-15-year-old boys.

These groups engage boys both mentally and physically to support the development of emotional regulation, focus, problem-solving skills, and resilience, helping them better navigate the daily stressors of home, school, and peer life. Mindfulness and interpersonal skills are incorporated throughout each session. This program is well-suited for boys who experience challenges with peer relationships, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or attention-related difficulties.

  • An initial screening appointment is required for all new clients joining the group. Please call or email us to schedule this appointment. The screening session is billed at our standard 50-minute office visit rate of $200

  • We ask parents to DROP OFF their child at the start of each climbing session and return to the gym at the end for PICK-UP. We kindly request that parents not remain in the gym during the session.
