Emerging Trends in Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy expands the scope of traditional counseling/therapy beyond personal relationships and community systems to recognize the important role one's relationship with the natural world plays in our health, emotions, and identity across the lifespan. Ecotherapy also provides ways for counselors and healthcare providers to utilize nature contacts and connections to promote physical and mental health.

This experiential workshop provides an orientation to the historical background and theoretical approaches associated with ecotherapy. Participants will learn applications of ecotherapy in counseling and healthcare settings and opportunities for integrating ecotherapy practices into their personal and professional lives. We will also survey psychological research regarding human-nature relationships, and conservation behaviors that point to the efficacy of ecotherapy interventions.
