'In the spirit of nature everything is connected'
What We Do
We offer nature-connected therapy services grounded in a Biophilic Health approach, including occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and social-emotional learning opportunities, for children and youth, adults, and families.
​
What is Biophilic Health™?
​
Biophilic Health is an approach to wellbeing rooted in our innate connection to nature. It views nature as an active partner in health, recognizes its essential role in human wellbeing, and draws on its proven benefits and wisdom to support regulation, resilience, learning, and participation in everyday life.
​
​
Nature Connected Therapy
​
Nature-connected therapy puts Biophilic Health into practice by weaving direct or indirect experiences of nature into occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and learning. These experiences are integrated within therapy to support engagement, regulation, meaningful participation, and to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
​
Nature-connected therapy occupational therapy or psychotherapy may take place outdoors or indoors, and include:
​
-
Direct contact with nature, including outdoor experiences and engagement with animals, plants, and natural elements and materials.
-
Indirect contact with nature, including nature-based metaphors, storytelling, imagery, sensory elements, and immersive virtual experiences.
Our therapy services are provided by registered mental health providers, psychotherapists, occupational therapists, and occupational therapy assistants.
