PulsaR helps clients take control over their own lives and reshape their path towards success.
What is blueFire PulsaR and Wilderness Therapy?
blueFire PulsaR is a premier wilderness therapy program that works with young adults aged 18-28 to address behavioral or motivational attitudes impacting their success in life. Wilderness Therapy is modeled to mimic the challenges and pressures found within family and social structures but in an atmosphere free from negative influences.
We use a combination of adventure therapy, traditional therapeutic techniques, and transitional living programming to help our clients point their lives in a more productive direction. Our comprehensive multi-faceted and clinical approach in the wilderness helps young adults and their parents navigate their journey in a positive direction. We believe that through a balance of self-assessment, insight-oriented therapy, outdoor living, adventure activities, and academic focus these young adults will find their true selves.

Read What our Clients & Parents have to say about PulsaR
The PulsaR program at blueFire is excellent – caring staff and therapists at blueFire. I highly recommend.
This is a wonderful program with excellent therapists and counselors!
BlueFire Wilderness Therapy was exactly what our son needed. He was a lost young adult, living through his computer or cellphone screen. He had no human relationships unless they were substance assisted. He had even withdrawn from the family. He had no plans or goals for himself.
BlueFire gave him time to find himself. It broke the cycle of retreating into a screen or substances. He established relationships with his fellow clients, staff and therapist. He has now reconnected with his family and is making friends. He has found a plan and set goals for himself. This is all possible due to his therapist Jake Tucker and the whole BlueFire staff and community they have created.
