Mount Shasta is a scenic, outdoors-first small mountain town centered on a dramatic volcanic peak, great for mult-week therapy assignments—think daily hikes, skiing, lake and waterfall access, a wellness-minded community, local cafés and easy rhythms between shifts so you won’t feel stuck.
For bigger-city options nearby, Redding provides larger medical centers, shopping and dining, while Ashland brings a lively arts and restaurant scene (home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival), both within about an hour’s drive.
