Gaia Counseling

Therapy for adults, adolescents, children, couples and families. Welcome! At Gaia, we understand some of the challenges of growing up and adulting.

We believe all adults, children and teenagers benefit from having a safe place to feel and process their emotions without bias or judgement. Some get this through relationships with friends, teachers, aunts, siblings or clergy. Some need more support through a trained individual like a therapist. We provide a warm, genuine, collaborative approach so that individuals can feel comfortable and safe. Our page provides articles and insights that we find interesting and hopefully others will also. Please feel free to take a look at our website if you would like more information regarding our services.

We invite you to join us for Relational Forest Therapy groups to access the abundant, evidence-based benefits which nature provides to lower stress; improve physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing; and find connection to ourselves and each other.

Leigh Scott, a certified Forest Therapy Guide and Associate Professional Counselor is offering these groups for adults and teens (15+) through Gaia Counseling, and in collaboration with Woodlands Gardens, once monthly between March and May of 2026.

Informed by Relational Cultural Theory and the Japanese Shinrin Yoku, Relational Forest Therapy offers a structured way to access your body’s reciprocal relationship with nature.

Evidence shows that nature offers innumerable cues to our nervous systems to help us relax and heal, but many of us do not know how to receive these benefits. These groups provide a gentle, guided experience to relax what disconnects us, and tune in to what our bodies already know about connecting to each other and the natural environment.

The experience is simple, trauma-informed, and invitational. This is not exercise, and it’s not an educational walk. This is time deliberately held and guided to experience a different way of listening, knowing, and connecting. There’s no right or wrong way to do this because nature holds every way of being. Come as you are, the forest has your back.

Saturday, March 7, 4-6pm

Saturday, April 18th, 4-6pm

Saturday, May 2nd, 4-6pm

$90 for the 2 hour session

5 participants minimum, 12 maximum

In this free, in person therapeutic workshop, we invite you to explore the stories about fatherhood that have shaped you and co-create new ones—ones that fit who you are and the kind of dad you want to be.

Through writing, discussion, and playful activities, fathers will have the opportunity to examine the way they see themselves as men, caregivers, and role models and walk away with new insights, a deeper sense of your identity, and stories you actually want to live into.
