Psychotherapy
Bringing talk therapy and the healing powers of nature together to help battle PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.
What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach where we use psychedelic substances in a safe and controlled environment to support the healing process. These natural substances can help access deep emotions and work through trauma and mental health challenges. This experience is guided with talk therapy before, during, and after the psychedelic session.

Stress and burnout can occur in any part of our body and our lives and has long reaching effects on our wellbeing.
Taking place on Wednesday mornings this summer, join us as we come together in community to access the healing power of nature to address our stress and burnout symptoms. Group forest therapy sessions will take place in a small group no larger than 6 participants. In this intimate group, we will journey through healing in nature to find relief and renewal.
Facilitated by Registered Psychotherapist and Forest Therapy Guide, Randi Micklewright, we will examine the parts of us asking for healing through somatic and mindful practices in nature to heal our mind, body and spirit.
People experiencing burnout often tell us...
-
I wake up in the morning already wanting to call in sick to work
-
I hope for a minor injury or event that could prevent me from going to work for a few days
-
I find myself resenting all the roles that I have in my life (parent, caregiver, employee, partner...) and immediately feel guilty for feeling that way
-
I can't go to sleep because of my spinning thoughts about all the things I have to do and then wake up exhausted thinking about it all again
-
I don't feel joy in my life anymore
HOW GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS
A SAFE CONTAINER
When you are sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings, you want to make sure that you feel safe doing so. Together, we will strive to create a space that allows for you to be your truest, most authentic self, without fear of judgement.
LEARNING TO LISTEN TO OUR BODIES
Our bodies store an immense amount of stress and trauma. Our bodies also store an immense amount of wisdom! Our bodies and minds have an innate ability to heal - healing is our birthright! Through somatic and holistic approaches, we can foster healing across various aspects of our lives, including the physical, emotional and spiritual.
CONNECTING
WITH NATURE AND COMMUNITY
Our environment has the potential to heal us in powerful ways. The healing power of nature has been proven over and over again in research and through lived experiences. Our ability to be witnessed and to bear witness of others suffering in community is one of the most human and compassionate things we can do.
