Short-term Ecotherapy
Ecotherapy honors our place in the greater ecosystem and our connection with the natural world around us. If you want to develop or explore this connection, move from theory to practice by forging a commitment to time spent with the natural world or to preserving it, root more deeply into your ancestral or cultural nature-related practices, or if you want to work with your responses to climate change and ecocide, ecotherapy may be a good fit for you.
Our relationships with the natural world are affected by our personal histories, our positions of power and marginalization, and past and ongoing dynamics of settler colonialism that impact us, the land, and the water. As an ecotherapist, I hope to hold these pieces with you.
If your relationship with the natural world is one of several areas you would like to prioritize in your therapy, please read more about my overall individual therapy work, into which I will gladly integrate ecotherapy. If, in contrast, you are only wanting to receive ecotherapy at this time (or if you are receiving other therapy for other areas of focus already), a short-term ecotherapy course of up to six months of sessions may be indicated.
You’re welcome to contact me for a free 15-20 minute consultation call over phone or video to explore fit, or to ask me any questions you may have over email if you would prefer. Following this, we would complete an intake session in which we would also establish some of your goals for ecotherapy work. These sessions are priced in the same way as my other individual sessions: please see the getting started page for information about fees. However, for short-term ecotherapy work at a fee greater than $120, I will donate the rest of your fee to one of the following groups:
or a different group or nation that we discuss together.
At this time, I only offer virtual ecotherapy sessions, with the option of guiding you in an outdoor ecotherapy session over the phone if you have access to a natural space in which you have good phone reception. However, if you are looking for outdoor group facilitation in or near Philadelphia, please contact me!
