• Discover Nature as Therapy: A Path to Healing for All Ages

    In the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding peace and balance can be challenging. At Family Matters of Marin, we offer a unique approach to psychotherapy that integrates the healing power of nature. Our nature-based therapy sessions are designed to support individuals of all ages, helping them connect with the natural world to find clarity, relaxation, and growth.

    What is Nature-Based Therapy?

    Nature-based therapy leverages the calming and restorative effects of the natural environment to enhance traditional therapeutic practices. Whether you’re an adult seeking stress relief, a teenager navigating life changes, or a child managing emotional challenges, nature-based therapy offers a refreshing alternative or complement to conventional methods.


    Benefits of Nature-Based Therapy Include:

    • Stress Reduction: Natural settings help lower cortisol levels and promote relaxation.
    • Enhanced Focus: Nature can improve attention span and cognitive function.
    • Emotional Resilience: The outdoor environment fosters emotional healing and resilience.
    • Creative Expression: Nature stimulates creativity and self-expression, especially in children and adolescents.
    • Physical Wellness: Physical activity in nature promotes overall health and well-being.

    Our Approach

    We believe in tailoring our therapy to fit the unique needs of each individual. Our nature-based therapy sessions include:

    • Individual Therapy: Personalized sessions designed to address specific challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma and life transitions.
    • Family Therapy: Collaborative sessions that help families strengthen their bonds and improve communication through shared outdoor activities.
    • Child and Adolescent Therapy: Engaging sessions that use nature to address developmental and emotional issues, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship.
