Mickey Myers,

MA, LPCC, E-RYT-200 Founder, Psychotherapist, and Yoga Teacher

Hey, I’m Mickey! As a somatic eco-therapist, I provide mental health counseling, resilience sessions, and nature-based resilience intensives in which we explore healing through connection with our bodies, communities, and ecosystems. I have personally experienced the healing power of nature in my own journey, and feel honored to get to share that with you.

I support folks who are experiencing trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relational concerns, or political and ecological despair. I use somatic and nature-based therapies, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and mindfulness to help you feel more connected to your body, move through big emotions, and explore your deepest wildness. My practice is influenced by my background in Yoga and dance, Buddhist meditation, social justice advocacy, and wilderness guiding. In a session, this might look like trying out a Yoga pose while exploring an emotion, or using guided meditation to forge deeper connections with our truest selves.

I believe that your most healed self already exists within you, and when we can connect and honor that version of you, they will begin to shine through. I'm not here to change or fix you, just to reflect back your fullest expression of yourself and the beautiful and unique gifts that you bring to the world.

I offer individual and relationship therapy, Yoga and meditation classes, and therapeutic workshops/ retreats. Please reach out to schedule a free consultation where we can get to know each other. Seeking out support is so courageous and deeply human, thank you for being here.

The Resilience Model:

Ecopsychology in Practice

Reciprocity

In the reciprocity phase, we focus on deepening our awareness of intimate interconnection with self and nature. This phase relies on the use of ceremony and ritual to connect and honor the web of life and our place within it. Reciprocity sets the foundation for ecopsychology interventions which heal not only our personal wounds but also those of our social and ecological systems.

Restoration

The Restoration phase is a pivotal stage in which therapeutic interventions are interwoven with ecosystem restoration practices. Participants engage in emotional and environmental restoration projects, such as planting native species, or removing invasive beliefs. This phase acknowledges the maladaptive patterns of our psychological landscape and takes steps to heal imbalances.

Regeneration

In the regeneration phase, the focus shifts towards cultivating active hope and nurturing the potential for transformation across personal, social, and ecological dimensions. This phase encourages participants to explore new possibilities, build upon their strengths, and creatively engage with challenges. Participants are exposed to stories, places, and projects that expand their sense of what a truly healed and connected world can look like.

Growing roots together

In botany, a rhizome is a continuously growing horizontal root network which supports organisms such as ferns, aspen, ginger, and turmeric.

In liberation psychology, rhizome theory challenges traditional ways of thinking by proposing a model of decentralized connections. Wellbeing is understood as interconnected and multiplicitous, spreading horizontally rather than vertically. This theory emphasizes diversity, creativity, and openness, rejecting the idea of linear progression in favor of fluidity.
