We train therapists to track thoughts, breath, and trauma loops …
But most were never taught to work with the body’s oldest regulator: nature.
And that gap shows up in the room.
Your clients are burned out. Shut down.
Stuck on screens or struck in survival mode.
And the usual techniques aren’t always getting through.
This one-day clinical training offers something different.
Not a walk in the woods.
Not a wellness trend.
But a set of evidence-based, nature-informed interventions that regulate the nervous system – fast.
You’ll learn how to engage the healing power of nature using sensory anchoring, metaphor, awe, and attention training – tools that work in city offices, telehealth sessions, and traditional outdoor settings alike.
Led by Heidi Schreiber-Pan, PhD, executive director of the Center for Nature-Informed Therapy, this is the official training from the Nature-Informed Therapy Institute.
In just one day, you’ll earn your Foundational Certificate in Nature-Based Therapy – and walk away with practical tools you can use right away:
You don’t have to change your whole approach.
You just need the right tools – designed to work with how humans actually heal.
These are practical, neuroscience-backed strategies you can use with any client, in any setting – no forest required.
Earn your certificate. Build your skills. Expand your impact.
