IN THEORY YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN’T WORRY…
…you should stress less…
…you should get outside and enjoy the day…
…you shouldn’t be struggling like this…
And yet… you are stuck in the same patterns. None of those things actually feel possible. Maybe you feel ashamed of all the things you “should” be doing but aren’t.
I can help. Change is happening all of the time and not always in ways we want or choose. We need to transition internally to all of the external changes that happen throughout our lives.
I’m Stephanie McBride, LPC, Nature-Based psychotherapist. My passion and professional calling is to connect people to nature as a support through life’s transitions.
I have been working in the mental health field since 2012. Between answering calls on a crisis helpline, to supporting survivors of violent crimes in a police department, to working an emergency mental health hospital I realized two transformative lessons:
Mental health effects everyone, not just people who have a diagnosis. Mental health is directly connected to our overall wellness.
Talking about what we “should” be doing in a controlled environment inside four walls is not right for everyone. We respond and learn on a cellular level when we have an experience of doing things differently.
These lessons along with my own transformative experiences in nature planted the seeds for my practice ReRoot Therapy. The most transformative moments happen not from a planned activity, but from what happens in the moment with the natural world, then as the therapist I help clients integrate change. I customize and co-create sessions with clients through experiences with horses, gardening, or nature walks. To learn more about these modalities click the links below:
