Workshop Description
What happens when nature becomes a co-therapist? Join Dr. Rachel Horodezky, PsyD, for an introduction to eco-therapy, an evidence-informed approach that integrates nature into clinical practice. Discover how connection with the natural world can support regulation, resilience, and psychological well-being.
Educational Goals
This training is designed to increase clinicians’ understanding of eco-therapy as an evidence-informed approach to supporting psychological well-being, emotional regulation, resilience, and connection. Participants will develop practical skills for integrating nature-based interventions into clinical practice while considering culture, identity, accessibility, socioeconomic factors, and the diverse ways clients may experience and relate to the natural world.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Define eco-therapy and describe its theoretical foundations and evidence base.
- Identify three clinical benefits of nature-based interventions for supporting psychological well-being, emotional regulation, and resilience.
- Describe at least two practical ways to incorporate eco-therapy principles into psychotherapy and mental health treatment.
- Identify at least three cultural, identity-based, socioeconomic, accessibility, and historical considerations that may influence a client’s relationship with nature.
- Describe how to adapt eco-therapy interventions to provide culturally responsive and inclusive care for clients from diverse and marginalized communities.
Presenter Dr. Rachel Horodezky
Dr. Rachel Jordana Horodezky, PsyD25159 is a licensed clinical psychologist, author, educator, and founder of the Center for Embodiment Medicine. Her clinical and teaching work integrates eco-therapy, somatic psychology, expressive arts, humanistic psychotherapy, and trauma-informed care. She is the author of the forthcoming APA book Eco-Therapy in Clinical Practice: An Integrative Approach to Healing with the Earth, which explores practical and evidence-informed ways clinicians can bring the natural world into psychotherapy.
Dr. Horodezky developed Embodiment Medicine, an integrative approach that emphasizes the relationship between body, psyche, community, and the more-than-human world. She trains therapists in experiential and embodied approaches to clinical practice and is particularly interested in making eco-therapy practical, culturally responsive, and accessible across a range of clinical settings and client populations.
