Outdoor Therapy

DSC_0105.JPG

The outdoor therapy that I offer is just that: therapy outside! We meet at a park and have the same style of therapy session we would in the office or via telehealth. We might "walk and talk" or sit in camp chairs. I started offering this simple alternative to telehealth during the pandemic, in order to create access to all the benefits of in-person therapy, which include a more embodied experience of your therapeutic journey as well as deeper connection and coregulation in the therapeutic relationship.

grounding to nervous system

Logistics

We can meet at a park with ADA parking, a paved path, and seating available. During session we may walk, sit, or engage in an experiential activity.

Please note that if you're interested in outdoor therapy, we will begin with traditional therapy in the office or telehealth, and treatment may require both.
