What is Ecotherapy? 

Ecotherapy is an umbrella term for the use of nature-based approaches to facilitate wellness, growth, and healing. With its roots in the field of ecopsychology, ecotherapists work from a belief that people are an interconnected, interdependent part of nature, and that disconnection from nature leads to a wide variety of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual difficulties.

​Clinical ecotherapy allows clinicians a framework in which to offer nature-based therapies to clients. Decades of research clearly demonstrates the benefits of nature on mental health and well-being. Integrating nature as a co-therapist into the therapeutic process allows clinicians unique and holistic opportunities for exploring insight, contact, growth, and healing.
