Eco or Nature-Based Intensives

An intensive is an experience for extended time connecting with the land, yourself, and a therapist in an outdoor/natural setting specifically chosen based on your needs, desires, and goals. An intensive can be an experience that you engage in one or multiple times to focus in on a specific area you want to address in your life. I will work with you to determine what may best fit your needs and schedule.

Nature-based immersion and therapeutic connection with the land, self, and others, has been shown to reduce stress, improve resilience, decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety, support with trauma-related symptoms, support with improved cognitive function, and support with improved sleep.

  • If you are interested in learning more about eco-intensives, the first step is to reach out to me to schedule a consultation. The consultation for an intensive can range from 30-60 minutes and is centered on learning about the specific need/desire/goal you have for the intensive and to discuss the logistics and next steps. The consultation is included in the cost of the intensive.

  • An intensive can look a variety of ways and will be tailored to your desires/goals/needs and based on our consultation. I will create a plan and structure for the time together that will include movement/hiking, stillness & mindfulness, nature engagement, processing in mind & body, and experiential activities. An intensive is a therapeutic experience but will not feel the same as a talk therapy session.

  • Intensives happen in-person in Colorado on parks and trails in Jefferson County and Boulder. We will select a location for the intensive based on your needs with accessibility, transportation, and geographical location. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to accommodate all location requests and I am not able to provide intensives on open space and parks outside of the areas above.

  • I cannot currently accept insurance for nature-based intensives. The cost for an intensive is $375 for 3 hours outdoors & the 30-60 minute consultation call.

    Scholarships for low to no cost participation are available for those who have historically faced barriers in accessing care and/or based on financial need. This will be assessed during our consultation call.

  • An intensive is for anyone who desires time to connect more deeply with themself and the Earth!

    An intensive can also be a good fit for anyone who is interested in therapeutic work but may not want or be able to attend therapy regularly and/or would like to approach therapeutic work in a different way than traditional talk therapy.
