Additional Comments:
Sessions are nature-based - they take place in natural areas (trails, beaches) around Juneau. The approach is more interactive and experiential than conventional talk therapy - rain or shine, we meet outside to walk, sit, and reflect. The session will be designed uniquely for you to align with your physical abilities and preferences. Well-behaved pets are allowed. You can schedule a free 20 min consultation directly on the website. https://www.naturalconnections.org/contact.
