Ariana is founder of The Earthbody Institute, a professional, educational, and transformational forum dedicated to the cultivation of dynamic mutual relationships with the natural world. She is creator of the groundbreaking Professional Ecotherapy Training and Certification Program, now entering its fourth year. She facilitates workshops locally and internationally, including Online Ecotherapy Certificate Programs, Ecotherapy Immersion Programs and consultation groups. She also teaches Ecotherapy seminars as an adjunct professor at John F. Kennedy University.

She is devoted to her own daily spiritual practice in nature, and encourages her private clients and students to develop their own practice. In all of her programs, she facilitates creation of a strong Earth-honored community, fulfilling an ancient human need of experiencing a profound connection to the sacredness of all beings.
Ariana is thrilled to be practicing Ecotherapy outdoors in the East Bay hills with more than half of her individual clients, and also brings the power of nature indoors to her private practice in Berkeley.

For folks in the state of Indiana, short term individual counseling (6-8 sessions) is available in-person and virtually.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic illness, stress, and grief. My approach to therapy is concrete - with lots of flexibility, guided by your needs. If you prefer to talk it out, I'm here to listen, encourage, challenge, and validate. If you'd like some tangible work, I can incorporate in-session activities, worksheets, and psychoeducation. Perhaps you'd like a mixture of both, or you're not sure yet - that's fine too! We'll figure out together what works best for you.
A speciality that I offer is ecotherapy, which can mean many things. If you're interested in exploring it, we can try guided nature visualizations, hold natural elements, or take our sessions outdoors. Ecotherapy approaches can be provided both in-person and virtually.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and person-centered care, ensuring you acquire the tools to navigate life’s challenges. I recognize our fundamental human need for connection, understanding, and acknowledgment. My goal in our sessions is to create a safe space where the uncharted aspects of yourself, often left in the shadows, can be explored and brought into the light for healing and reintegration.
In terms of credentials, I hold a Master’s degree in clinical psychology, specializing in trauma, from Antioch University. I am certified in Ecotherapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Level 1 of the Trauma Resiliency Model. With extensive experience in DBT, ERP, EFFT, and CFT, I have held clinical and management positions in various treatment settings, from inpatient to outpatient care. My therapeutic approach is marked by curiosity and open-mindedness.

Florina blends IFS, somatic awareness, and ecotherapy practices to help clients reconnect with themselves and the natural world. Her offerings include outdoor sessions, gentle sensory-based grounding, nature-supported work for transitions and grief, and culturally attuned support for Indigenous and BIPOC clients seeking deeper healing beyond talk therapy. Through her private practice, Trailhead Counseling PLLC, she provides a relational, nature-guided approach that centers belonging, internal safety, and embodied restoration.
Rooted in diasporic cosmologies and ancestral technologies, Iman tends to the body as soil—listening for what wants to be remembered and restored. Her sessions include deep listening, breathwork, gentle eco-therapy practices, and ritual with the land. Through a calm, land-centered approach, Iman offers a space where clients can explore their inner landscape, cultivate resilience, and build a more intimate relationship with themselves, their lineage, and the natural world.
Eco-Somatic Sessions
Iman offers eco-somatic sessions—virtual or in nature—that support clients in slowing down, regulating the nervous system, and reconnecting with the natural world. Each session moves at the client’s pace and centers on presence and embodied awareness.
Land-Based Ritual & Grounding Practices
Drawing from diasporic cosmologies and her long-standing ritual practice, Iman guides clients through simple, nature-centered practices to help clients attune to place, breath, and the body.
Ancestral & Cultural Somatics
For clients seeking to understand how lineage, cultural memory, or migration patterns live in the body, Iman offers gentle inquiry processes to explore these themes with care. These sessions create space for reflection, belonging, and personal meaning without requiring clients to have prior ancestral knowledge or spiritual background.
Creative Somatic Integration
As an interdisciplinary artist, Iman incorporates her multi-sensory background with sound, clay, visualization, and guided imagery into sessions when helpful. This approach supports clients seeking to reconnect with their creativity, process emotions, and honor their intuition.
Life Transitions & Reorientation
Eco-somatic sessions are a supportive space for navigating transitions of grief, career changes, relocations, life shifts, or periods of uncertainty. Iman helps clients to listen inwardly by reorienting toward what feels aligned and true for them.
