Nature Informed Therapy (NIT) is a form of clinical counseling that integrates the healing properties of the natural world into mental health treatment. This emerging practice is rooted in empirical research that demonstrates that mindful, intentional activities in nature have a positive and long-lasting effect on mental health. The Center offers everything from therapeutic hikes, to teen mindfulness groups, to nature immersion retreats and clinicals mental health counseling.
Through nature-based research, Dr. Schreiber-Pan, has improved upon our understanding of nature’s ability to help individuals reduce mental health challenges. This center represents a lifetime of effort and she is excited for the team she built it with and the impact it will have on Marylanders.
“In this time of isolation, disconnection and fear, Nature Informed Therapy works to reconnect people to themselves and all of the beings that are in the natural world,” says Philip McKnight a Nature Informed Therapy Practitioner. “By learning about and incorporating nature-based therapy in their lives, people will have a chance to reconnect which can help these negative feelings. These feelings come from disconnection, and NIT reconnects people through the natural world.”
Currently, the Center has established partnerships with Irvine Nature Center, Ladew Topiary Gardens, Puh'Tok in the Pines and Talmar, a Horticulture therapy organization.
