Pricing structure linked below.

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,

Midlife Wayfinding

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

• Mid-lifer (welcome to use your own criteria) trying to navigate the uncharted, and sometimes confusing, landscape of the middle years

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. For a rationalization of why a specific focus on midlife issues, see here.
