He has a unique skill set combining compassion with problem solving in order to help you unlock the solutions you need; ultimately you know yourself better than anyone.

Whitebark Therapy is named for the Whitebark pine tree, an amazing organism that is crucial to our local ecosystem. If you have the opportunity to see one, you are probably in a very cool place. They live in high elevation, alpine and windswept environs, frequently clinging to impossible cliffs and somehow seeming to thrive. They are a resilient and hardy species, sensitive to their environment but also strong, just like us.

When Lewis isn’t in the office, you can find him exploring long technical climbs and mountain canyons, or, more likely, two hours behind schedule trying to identify a wildflower species. He feels deeply grateful for the ability to serve the heart of Jackson Hole through therapy. He lives in Wilson with his wife and their dog, Batman.
