Nature Based Therapy

High Balsam Farm

A Sanctuary for Healing in Nature

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I bring 18 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. With intensive graduate studies in anxiety and depression for children and adults, I am deeply committed to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

As an Urban Farmer and Nature Therapist at High Balsam Farm, I have cultivated a natural oasis where we can engage in nature therapy, ecotherapy, and integrated healing. Whether through outdoor therapy in-person, hybrid sessions via tele-health, or farm-based therapy, my passion is helping others build resilience in a natural setting. Together, we explore sources of strength and areas of need, fostering mental, social, and spiritual well-being.

Therapeutic Support at High Balsam Farm…

Therapy in nature provides powerful support for stress relief, anxiety, and depression. Whether we sit by the peaceful sound of a running stream, take in the beauty and aromas of growing fields, or feel the breeze from the cabin deck, outdoor therapy helps us reconnect to our center.

Through mindfulness in nature, we engage in multi-sensory experiences that promote healing, self-awareness, and emotional balance. Research in eco-psychology shows that forest therapy, green therapy, and therapeutic horticulture encourage mental clarity, reduce stress, and support overall well-being.

Reconnect with yourself, embrace healing in nature, and discover a path to wellness…

…because we are nature!

Testimonial:

As a business owner, mother of three, and grandmother, I may have looked accomplished on the outside, but I was depressed, suppressed, and disconnected from my feelings, intuition, and inner truth.

When I first started seeing Beth, I was skeptical about therapists and therapy, as I had never found one with whom I genuinely connected and resonated. Now, I look forward to each session with her. I continually gain insights and experience breakthroughs in areas I could never understand or even conceptualize before. It's exhilarating, as if I'm rewriting my brain and seeing the world with new lenses.

Beth is an amazing listener, mentor, and inner guide who reflects your inner truth with compassion. Her ability to listen, analyze, and reflect is helping me reconnect and delve deeper. She gently and continuously guides me toward my core truth.

Beth provides deep insights and understanding. She engages with compassion, honesty, and a genuine sense of connectedness, pointing the way to healing. I eagerly anticipate every session with Beth and cannot recommend her highly enough.
