Center for Nature Informed Therapy and Irvine Nature Center Team Up to Offer Nature Informed Therapy to Local Communities
Chesapeake Mental Health Collaborative (CMHC), the newly launched Center for Nature Informed therapy (CNIT), and Irvine Nature Center have signed a collaboration agreement allowing CMHC licensed therapists to conduct nature informed therapy using Irvine Nature Center’s grounds. The partnership will combine Irvine Nature Center’s beautiful landscape with CMHC’s groundbreaking Nature Informed Therapy to community members to improve their mental well-being by connecting with self, each other, and the outdoors.
CMHC just launched the new division, Center for Nature Informed Therapy, solely focused on using nature-based programs to treat anxiety, trauma, and grief. “We are very excited to work with Irvine Nature Center,” said Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan, Founder and Clinical Director of CMHC. “The partnership with Irvine enables us to integrate the benefits of the natural world into our sessions with our clients who especially now, during this pandemic, are craving in-person meetings which connect us to the great outdoors.”
As the Deputy Director of Irvine Nature Center, Courtney Sagal shared the excitement, saying “We are thrilled to collaborate with CMHC who share our vision of lifelong engagement with the natural world through environmental learning and green living.”
