Stress Management

Stress is universal. We all experience it in one form or another. It can't be avoided or eliminated, but it can be managed. The key to managing stress is cultivating resilience.

Individual virtual or in-person sessions are offered, but you may get the most benefit from the six-part Nature4Stress program, an abbreviated version of the evidence-based academic course introducing the nature-based Ecology of Resilience framework described here. Group plans are also available. Or check out Program options.

Health and Wellness Coaching

Has a healthcare provider suggested you work on some element of wellness but can't devote the time to help you get started? Do you feel "okay" but sense that you could be "thriving"? Does a higher level of physical, mental, or spiritual wellness sound enticing?

National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWCs) are trained to use principles of self determination theory, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology to help you make progress toward peak wellness. The approach isn't magic, but the outcomes often make it seem like it. Check out Program options.

Career and Burnout Counseling

Do any of the following describe you?

High school or college student wondering what career path to pursue, or if you're even on the right track
Young adult questioning your current career choice
Seasoned adult experiencing fatigue, apathy, and burnout but don't know what to do about it

Don't worry, you're not alone - millions of people are in the same boat. Better yet, there's hope; the problem is most people are unaware how to address their situations and many choose to just accept the status quo, or do nothing. We can help you explore the concept of vocation, or calling, which addresses interests, talents, meaning, purpose, and opportunities. Check out Program options.

Midlife Wayfinding

Sports cars. Botox. Reckless and self-sabotaging decisions. Existential doubts. Feelings of underachievement. Malaise. Languishing. Realization that there's more time behind you than ahead.

Midlife crisis anyone?

All joking aside, however you define the term, midlife is an interestingly curious time. Worse yet, no one really prepares you for it and few people want to talk about it.

If you find yourself wandering in this metaphorical wilderness, good news - you're not the only one and you're not the first to try to navigate these normal, developmentally-appropriate turbulent waters. Thankfully, wisdom abounds. For example, Viktor Frankl, 20th century psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor, and founder of the approach known as logotherapy, offers insight for this challenging life stage. Rather than being motivated by the desire for pleasure (Freud) or power (Adler), Frankl proposed that the primary motivating force for humans is the need for meaning. If meaning isn't found, a vacuum forms and existential frustration ensues. Existential frustration can present as anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. When this is the case, it's important to appreciate the dissonance for what it is - existential, not pathological; distress, not a disease; concerned with present and future beliefs and trajectories, not past traumas.*

So, how do we fill this existential vacuum? With meaning.

What provides meaning? Let's talk about it.

*There are differences between existential frustration and certain mental health diagnoses. If any of these things are significantly interfering with your ability to function normally or experience happiness, or if you have thoughts of harm to yourself or others, you should seek the help of a counselor, therapist, or other medical professional. If you have immediate, urgent concerns about yourself or others, dial 911 or 988.
