I am a trauma therapist that pulls from eastern and western modalities to offer holistic therapeutic services.
Believing that trauma memory is stored beyond the mind and deep into the body, I weave cognitive, somatic and nature-based approaches for highly effective treatment. Furthermore, it is vital to understand how systemic, cultural and individual circumstances influence the mind-body connection. To better grasp what is bringing you into session, my anti-oppressive perspective is influenced by systems, and feminist theory.

With over 32 years of experience in the field of mental health, I have dedicated my life to helping people navigate the challenges of life with compassion, insight, and hope. My journey has taken me through inpatient psychiatric care, managed care systems, employee assistance programs, and deeply meaningful direct work with immigrant and non immigrant populations in New York City and New City, NY. Alongside clinical practice, I’ve supervised both social work staff and interns, always grounded in a commitment to ethical and client-centered care.

KT, creator of The Soul-Based Life Method, has her master's in Transpersonal Ecopsychology and is certified in mindfulness meditation, somatic trauma therapy, and council circle facilitation.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with an ecotherapy certification. All of my work emphasizes Nature Connection for Individual Health & Collective Wellbeing. I typically work with small groups in Nature and on the farm- schools, nonprofits, University staff and students in and around Mercer County, NJ. The goal(s) always tie back to creating time and space for connecting with Nature, ourselves, and one another. When I am not working on this life passion, I am trying to keep up with (and enjoy!) my three free range children who also love the outdoors.

Hi! I'm a therapist in private practice working virtually in PA, NJ, ME, and VT. Some of my social locations include being white, trans and non-binary, queer, and Ashkenazi Jewish. I grew up as a third culture kid in France, Sweden, and occupied Turtle Island (the US). All of those lands, waterways, and cultures have helped to shape who I am and how I relate to others. Since 2018, I have provided outpatient therapy full-time in a variety of settings. I value therapy that supports your connection with yourself and with the world we are a part of. I'm also a poet and enjoy gardening, visiting bodies of water, reading, and spending time with my cats.

I am a husband, father and grandfather who cherishes time with family, friends, and the outdoors. I enjoy a good story, long walks, lingering conversations, and getting lost in the woods or wilderness.

Iman Person is a Jamaican-American eco-somatic guide, cultural anthropologist, and artist whose work lives at the intersection of land, ritual, and ancestral memory. For over fifteen years, her creative and ceremonial practice has unfolded in collaboration with the living world through installations, sound, scent, and spaces where nature serves as teacher and mirror. This lineage now informs her 1:1 and group eco-therapeutic sessions, where she supports clients in returning to the wisdom of their bodies and the more-than-human world.

Florina brings a warm, grounded presence to her work, inviting clients to move gently and at a pace that honors their system.

Hi there! I’m Christina. I grew up in the High Desert of California, with a rich cultural background, stemming from Mexican and Colombian heritage. My life has always been intertwined with nature and animals, often spending my free time hiking, reading outdoors, or tending to my horses at the ranch. Nature’s influence is evident in all aspects of my work as a therapist.

I am a social worker, therapist, and lover of anything calm. Some loves at the "root" of who I am: fresh air, hot tea, cool weather, traveling coast to coast, baking, cooking, yoga, cats, sloths, and puffins.
