Reconnect. Restore. Heal in the Natural World.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, nature may be one of the most powerful supports in your healing journey. Nature-Based Mental Health Therapy, sometimes called ecotherapy or outdoor therapy, helps you regain clarity, calm, and emotional balance by engaging with the natural environment as part of the therapeutic process.

Whether you’re coping with anxiety, stress, trauma, burnout, or a major life transition, nature offers a grounding presence that gently supports deeper healing.

Outdoor Sessions: Meet in a local park, trail, or green space. Walk or sit, incorporating structured therapeutic exercises.

Hybrid or On-Site Sessions: For those who prefer a blend, sessions can start indoors and move outdoors as appropriate.

Weather-Adaptable Sessions: Nature is part of the process but so is practicality. Sessions adjust to weather conditions based on your preferences.

Safety, accessibility, and emotional comfort are always prioritized.

What Is Nature-Based Therapy?

Nature-based therapy integrates evidence-supported mental health practices with outdoor experiences. Sessions may take place in parks, gardens, forests, or other natural settings, or they may incorporate natural elements indoors. Your therapist guides you through therapeutic activities designed to cultivate mindfulness, regulate emotions, and strengthen your connection to yourself and the world around you.

Nature-based therapy can include:

  • Mindful walking

  • Sensory grounding practices

  • Guided reflection or journaling

  • Somatic and breathwork techniques

  • Ecotherapy exercises

  • Nature-informed cognitive or somatic interventions

This approach is accessible to all mobility levels and does not require any outdoor expertise.
