Access to this service is totally optional, the insurance reimbursement checker is absolutely free for clients, and support with claim submission is available for a small fee (5% of your session fee goes to Mentaya).

Ecotherapy is not new. It is a centuries old way of living in concert with the rhythms and wisdom of the land and it's inhabitants. The way that I invite people to engage in this practice is more about remembering our collective indigeneity and this Indigenous way of moving through the world. In my work with people, our ecotherapy sessions are done outdoors, in attunement with the local land and guides who show up to support people any given day. We might walk, or sit, or wander together as a means of discovering different experiences outside, that ultimately reflect a person's internal process or experience in some way. The work is often rich with metaphor and offers us new/old ways of making sense of our lives.

Ecotherapy as a "modality" is part of the Mental Health Industrial Complex. As a result, the Western approaches to this practice are often white washed, decontextualized, and based on extraction from nature for human benefit. As a field, Ecotherapy is often problematic and harmful, particularly for QTBIPOC people who don't often feel represented by the people offering the service. Ecotherapy and the field of Ecopsychology calls human's disconnection from nature "the original trauma", while often falling short to name why the disconnection exists in the first place. Colonial trauma, forced removal, displacement, and centuries of genocide against black, brown and Indigenous people.

As a healer who tends to the roots of things, I will always be aware of this dis-ease from within this work. And it is precisely what I aim to disrupt, call out and change so that people of all backgrounds can reclaim their rightful place in the natural world.

Yes! I offer a hybrid model (in-office, virtual, and ecotherapy) and depending on your need an my availability we can meet in my office in Maryland. Let's connect and make a plan.
