For the month of May, I’m sharing some of my favorite resources for those who are pregnant, postpartum, parenting, or who have experienced perinatal loss.

The resource I’m sharing today is “Healing From Reproductive Trauma”by Bethany Warren, LCSW, PMH-C. It’s a comprehensive workbook that guides you step-by-step in understanding your traumatic experience, processing it, and integrating the trauma into your life in a way that feels healthy and sustainable.

I encourage you to check out this resource or share with a friend who could use it!

New Blog Post: Storms & New Beginnings

I've just woken up from a night of interrupted sleep. Aside from my 3-year old asking for “tuck-ins” following his trips to the bathroom, I was startled awake a few times by the rain lashing at the windows and the howling of the wind, which apparently reached speeds of up to 60 mph last night. This morning, the street outside is littered with twigs and leaves, evidence of the storm that just passed through the area. And yet - the sky is now suddenly blue, the sun bright, and the air crisp and clean. There’s a sense of newness and freshness that cannot be had unless a storm had passed through, dampening the earth and clearing the air.

I’m reminded of the many clients I’ve worked with who have come to me in the midst of their own storms of life, often feeling that their particular storm - anxiety, depression, or the sleep deprivation of new parenthood- will simply go on forever. In the midst of this storm, we don’t see the blue sky or the clean air, we only can see the winds and rain battering us incessantly... (Click link below to read more)

So thrilled that Ecotherapy is being more widely recognized! This article on CNN explores how Ecotherapy has been particularly helpful during this time of COVID. If you or someone you know could benefit from outdoor or nature-based sessions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/08/health/outdoor-therapy-covid-social-distancing-wellness/index.html

Psychologists and therapists are embracing alternatives to traditional forms of therapy as Covid-19 rages and health officials advise against sessions indoors. Most have turned to teletherapy. Others, however, are embracing the great outdoors.

About Inner Nature Therapy

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Amy Lajiness, LCSW, and I’m a psychotherapist and ecotherapist. I am passionate about walking alongside teenagers, young adults, and women of all ages as they face life’s challenges. Whatever it is you’re facing - stress over work or school, relationship challenges, adjusting to a new role or life stage, managing anxiety or depression, or just going through a tough time, I'm here to listen to and partner with you. No matter what brings you to therapy, you will be met with compassion and a collaborative approach toward making positive changes in your life. With the option of bringing our therapy sessions outdoors, we can allow nature to assist in the work of healing and overcoming life’s challenges. Together, we can find a way forward to a place of peace, joy, and connection within yourself and within the world.
