Mickey's Eco Therapy Journey
Mickey has an impressive background in wilderness therapy guiding, yoga/somatic embodiment, and environmental justice. She has committed her career to bridging the perceived separation between humans and the natural world as an eco-therapist. Qualifications include a master's degree in clinical mental health, specializing in wilderness therapy. Mickey is passionate about providing nature-based, somatic, and mindfulness interventions in fun and accessible ways. In fact, these are all brilliant skills to bring to her role as Wellness Director.
Mickey adores working with adolescents and young adults. She has provided care for youth in the foster care system and in wilderness therapy settings for over seven years. Above all, she enjoys facilitating nature-based rites of passage for significant life transitions, balancing recreation with reverence.
