Counseling Services:

In his current role as the CEO of High Country Behavioral Health, the opportunity to provide counseling services is very limited. In special cases, Kipp will consult with our service providers to facilitate the development of theoretical approaches, techniques, and skills that might assist them to higher levels of insight and effectiveness.

About Kipp:

Kipp grew up in Western Wyoming and has lived and worked in Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho for over 50 years. The people in these communities and the outdoor recreation in this region are what he calls “home.” He has always been fascinated and curious about why people do what they do, what motivates them, and how they find a sense of purpose in life. Kipp received a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling so that he could spend the rest of his life trying to figure out how to understand and help people achieve their full potential. As the CEO of High Country Behavioral Health, he oversees the recruitment and training of employees who share his interest in helping others. Kipp tries to keep the business of serving others running as smoothly as possible. Kipp's job is to remove barriers and provide resources so that our counselors and service providers can provide high quality and cost-effective care.
