Red Mountain Sedona is a Young Adult “Launch” program with a mission of creating healthy, mindful futures for our clients.

Our foundational beliefs are based on promoting a healthier and happier lifestyle while removing negative behavior and inner conflict.

We help our clients transition from adolescent behaviors to responsible adulthood, providing the “bridge” from primary treatment to full independence. We help young adults transitioning out of wilderness therapy and other primary treatments to get back on track with school and jobs while resolving their core issues through ongoing intensive therapy.

Our mindfulness-based programming helps our clients discover their inherent goodness and focus on giving back to the community. From there, they can focus on redirecting their life path in a positive direction and maintaining the positive strides made in primary treatment in a “real world” setting.

The Red Mountain program offers access to excellent clinical services. As well as a daily meditation program taught by a Zen Sensei and a Tibetan Meditation Instructor, Red Mountain Sedona offers life skills training, nutritional coaching, group therapy, hiking, martial arts, yoga, physical fitness, case management, and academic support. 

Clients are taught life skills such as techniques for successful job interviewing, keeping living spaces clean, financial planning, etiquette, and time management.

Mindfulness saved my life.  Learning how to watch my thoughts, feelings and impulses arise and fall saved me from a self-destructive path fueled by past trauma and poor choices.  Today I am living my dream teaching and mentoring young people who are just like I was, and helping them find a path of productivity and peace.

Matthew brings more than 20 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults and their families. He has served as CEO, Headmaster, Academic Director, Program Director, Teacher, Advisor, and Residential Staff member in both therapeutic and academic settings.

Throughout his career he has been instrumental in the development of educational practices and methodologies that are student-centered and support both the therapeutic and academic growth of individual students. He accomplished this by serving the public school system on school boards at both the local and regional levels and in higher education as an Associate Director of Admissions for a small New England college.

Matthew resides in Vermont with his wife and visits Red Mountain frequently. He has three children of his own and personally understands the deep love parents have, as well as the tightrope parents walk to help support their children as they learn to launch themselves into their own life.

Mike Brown
Program Director - Red Mountain Sedona

Mike originally came to Red Mountain as a student after completing a therapeutic wilderness program. This experience along with his collegiate and sales background make Mike a natural fit for the admissions team at RMS. Mike initially started his employment with RMS as a Student Mentor. In this role he demonstrated the clear ability to help students integrate into the Red Mountain program, helping them work through fears and reservations. Mike has also been instrumental in helping alumni stay connected to the program and continue to be part of the RMS community. With these talents it quickly became clear that we needed Mike to take on these roles full time in Admissions and Alumni coordination.

As Mike continued to grow in these roles and contribute to the RMS experience for so many students, we asked him to shift full-time into student support as a Case Manager. Mike’s talents allow him to work with students in a variety ways, helping them take the necessary steps to achieve sustainable independence. Mike also maintains a connection to the admissions process by being a resource to prospective students, answering questions and giving them a unique view into the process, as only a former student can do.

When asked why he wanted to work at Red Mountain Sedona Mike responded “I truly believe that if it were not for Red Mountain and the therapeutic work I did here with my therapist and the rest of the clinical team I would not be alive today. Working at Red Mountain and being with our students in such a positive/supportive community helps me continue living a healthy and gratifying life today.”
