With Chimney Trail,
our teams and their families get stronger.
Mental health and well-being are not luxuries—they’re essential for success in every aspect of life. We cannot leave the mental health of employees, students and servicemembers to chance. It’s time for individuals and organizations to take an active role in building resilience.
The secret to clear thinking and mental resilience is not a secret. It has been clinically proven that mental health and well being is directly linked to our understanding of the principles of, "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)”.
Chimney Trail Health is dedicated to equipping individuals and teams with the tools they need to take control of their mental well-being. Our programs teach you how thoughts and feelings shape your actions, and how mastering them can lead to a healthier, more productive life. Through self-led CBT, your team will learn to identify and overcome the ten cognitive distortions that often lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
With Chimney Trail, you will develop the skills to think better, feel better, and perform better—no matter the challenges you face.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Theory?
The tragic reality is that many lives are lost to suicide, not only among veterans but across all walks of life. We have the power to change this. By equipping individuals with the skills they need to combat anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, we can make a meaningful difference.
Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) has been proven by the American Psychiatric Association to be highly effective in treating a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and more. Research consistently shows that CBT can lead to significant improvements in functioning and quality of life, often matching or exceeding the effectiveness of other psychological therapies or medications.
Historically, access to CBT has been limited due to clinical capacity constraints. Chimney Trail has addressed this challenge by developing a self-led CBT curriculum that integrates engaging outdoor activities. We deliver these tools directly to your teammates’ doorsteps in the form of our “Waypoints.”
Each Waypoint guides participants through a structured CBT training curriculum, empowering them to take command of their mental health journey. The material is designed to be self-paced, self-led, and, most importantly, effective.
CDR Matthew Brown, USNR
"Everyone of us is Captain of our own action, intention, feelings, and thoughts. Let's use the best tools we can to THINK BETTER".
Matthew Brown is a Commander in the US Navy Reserve, Veteran Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, and Chief Executive Officer of Chimney Trail Health.
Prior to founding Chimney Trail, Matt was Commanding Officer of the US Navy warship, USS SCOUT and was a senior innovation advisor for Naval Special Warfare's SEAL Team 17.
During his time in service, he saw first-hand the need for a system of delivering preventive Cognitive Behavioral Theory training in an accessible, memorable way.
The challenges he saw in military life inspired him to collaborate with the world's top mental healthcare experts.
With input from experts at Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Harvard, University of South Dakota, University of Maryland, Brown, and UPenn; Matt and his team developed a prevention-first curriculum of CBT training for all ages.
He aims to push back the tide of destructive anxiety and depression by teaching the principles of CBT and providing instruction on how to apply it in our lives.
The healthcare crisis
of our age requires smart solutions
Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy calls the current mental healthcare crisis "THE healthcare crisis of our TIME."
Not hyperbole. The numbers check out.
There is a pandemic of distorted thinking that's been exacerbated by rapid cultural changes, COVID precautions, and ready access to social media applications.
With Chimney Trail, we don't want everyone to throw away their smartphones and move back to 1970. We will however, help your members and their families view technology as a tool, not a destination.
Chimney Trail isn't JUST ANOTHER APP. We don't tell, or even just teach our audience. We INVOLVE participants in developing their own mental health and well-being.
