Outdoor Therapeutics

Outdoor Therapeutics Specializing in nature-informed trauma treatment scientifically proven to benefit human wellness.

Outdoor Therapeutics is dedicated to improving mental wellness through clinical and wellness programs that realign connections between mind, body, and the natural world. We do this by integrating evidence-based therapy approaches with resources in nature that are scientifically proven to benefit human wellness, such as exposure to green space for nervous system stabilization. This dedication to returning humans to the wild results in comprehensive and unique offerings such as Nature-Integrated Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven effective therapy for trauma, and therapeutic backpacking trips grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Outdoor Therapeutics utilizes the natural world to the degree clients are comfortable, such as introducing plant care into office sessions, having a “walk and talk” session along the Monocacy River, or having an extended outdoor immersion focused on wildlife and the landscape as a source of metaphor, mirroring, and inspiration.

Hi, I’m Joseph Haddad, the new graduate intern at Outdoor Therapeutics. Nature has been central to my mental wellness journey by teaching me to continually return to the organic parts of my being, practice acceptance of constant change, surrender to natural life cycles, and understand the thread between all soulful life.

Nature has welcomed me to feel reflective, grounded, astonished, and endlessly curious about my relationship with myself and the world around me. Through inevitable hardships, Nature has consistently provided an unbiased space to feel held, while offering a strong sense of belonging to something bigger than myself.

Deepening my relationship with Nature has allowed for greater clarity and connection in my mental wellness journey, as I humbly continue to support myself and others along their own earthly journeys of wellness and healing.

Outdoor Therapeutics Summer Potluck! Christine and Rose were with us in spirit. I often reflect on how lucky I have been to attract the caliber of people we have at this practice. Each person adds a special element to the workplace that makes it rich, interesting, and congenial. These people inspire me to be more thoughtful about how to guide the direction of our work and they humble me in the ways that allow me to step back and trust that they are leaders and experts in their own right. I wouldn’t want to weather to August heat with any other humans.
