From Rebecca: “To our participants, it has been an absolute honor the past few years being a part of your work. I am a more authentic human because of you. Thank you for letting me be a part of your sacred circles (and getting to know your inner children). Over the past year, I have taken on the most important job of my life - being a mom. While I won’t be at Green Shoe, I will always be a part of the model. To the staff at Green Shoe, you will always be my family and will miss working beside each of you.

Who were your male role models growing up? This is an opportunity to redefine masculinity on your journey to healing. What kind of role models do you aspire to be?

The path to overcoming the challenges of men's mental health begins by challenging stereotypes, embracing healing, and prioritizing self-care. By practicing mindfulness, extending grace to ourselves, and seeking support when needed, we can reshape the narrative surrounding men's mental health.

Let's break the silence together and pave the way for a future where everyone—regardless of gender—can flourish in mind, body, and spirit.

What We Do

The Green Shoe mission is to improve and impact individual lives and communities through mental and emotional health awareness, education, support programs and resources.

Based on Pia Mellody's work in codependency, boundaries, and the effects of childhood trauma on emotional development; our five-day outpatient, Post Induction Therapy (PIT) is an eclectic approach retreat delivering transformational change, focus on personal growth, self-actualization, personal and professional success informing, and maintain relationships. We work with adults 21 and older to raise awareness of how past family roles and family systems influence their current relationships. In a safe, supportive environment, Green Shoe explores the origins that fuel self-defeating behaviors such as addictions, trauma, mood disorders, and troubling relationships. Childhood wounding up to age 18 is approached with compassion, and skills are taught in order to re-parent yourself. The primary focus of this retreat is processing and releasing the negative messages and emotions that were rooted in painful experiences from the past, allowing the freedom to embody your authentic self.

Retreats are Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm for adults 21 years of age and older. Each day you will receive daily intense group therapy, experience and express genuine ups and downs, exercise mental and emotional protection and containment, how to incorporate healthy outlets to help you stay emotionally regulated and present in your body with awareness of your thoughts.
