Specializing in nature-informed trauma treatment scientifically proven to benefit human wellness.

Outdoor Therapeutics is dedicated to improving mental wellness through clinical and wellness programs that realign connections between mind, body, and the natural world. We do this by integrating evidence-based therapy approaches with resources in nature that are scientifically proven to benefit human wellness, such as exposure to green space for nervous system stabilization. This dedication to returning humans to the wild results in comprehensive and unique offerings such as Nature-Integrated Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven effective therapy for trauma, and therapeutic backpacking trips grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Outdoor Therapeutics utilizes the natural world to the degree clients are comfortable, such as introducing plant care into office sessions, having a “walk and talk” session along the Monocacy River, or having an extended outdoor immersion focused on wildlife and the landscape as a source of metaphor, mirroring, and inspiration.

As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month this November, we are mindful that although the federal furloughs have ended for most, that some workers at Indian Health Services may still be impacted. To help those in need, please consider donating to the “Native Guardians Foundation”. This is a nonprofit organization that assists Native Nations in many crucial ways.

As the days get shorter and the sun hides a little more, our Vitamin D levels tend to dip and that can take a real toll on our mood. Low Vitamin D is common in the winter months and can contribute to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), fatigue, and feeling “off” in your body.

Here are a few ways to support your Vitamin D levels naturally:

Get outside: Even brief daylight exposure helps your body synthesize Vitamin D. Morning or midday sun is best!
Eat Vitamin D-rich foods: like salmon, sardines, tuna, eggs (especially yolks), mushrooms, and fortified milks or cereals.
Consider a UV lamp or light therapy box: it can help mimic natural sunlight and boost both mood and energy.
Talk to your practitioner about supplements: many of us need extra support through the darker months.

Your body and mind are deeply connected. A little extra sunlight can go a long way in helping you feel grounded and balanced this season.

Outdoor Therapeutics staff had the privilege of joining the Frederick County Department of Social Services at their Annual Retreat last month. This is a photo of our lead facilitator, enjoying the fall weather while she waited for retreat participants to return from their treasure hunt in the woods. Their objective? To find something in the natural world that was reminiscent of a younger, more authentic self. It was beautiful to hear how time outside rekindled old memories of childhood and inspired play and intrigue. We were reminded during participants disclosures that time outside can be simple and rejuvenating for some and a complex experience for others.

Outdoor Therapeutics will be closed on Thursday, Nov 27 and Thursday, Dec 25, 2025. Additionally, we will have limited staffing between Dec 15 - Jan 4, 2026 which may result in staff responding to messages slower than expected. We will do our best to balance staff time off with responding to community requests. Current clients are encouraged to reach out to their providers directly regarding schedule changes and rescheduling options before the holiday season begins. Please use info@outdoortherapeutics.com or 301-200-1233 if you are having difficulty reaching your provider.

The team at Outdoor Therapeutics has recently completed a new interactive piece within our waiting room hallway! The season of fall is the season of letting go. next time you are in the office, take a moment to share what you are letting go of this fall. Whether it be mindset or growth related, or simply an old pair of shoes, OT is interested in hearing your reflections. We value community building and are asking you to help contribute to fostering the community of Outdoor Therapeutics. As the seasons change throughout the year, expect the board to change with it, with new prompts and decorations. With the world growing and changing around us, so too will we change and grow.

October and its associated spiritual observances can be experienced as a “last hurrah” before the hustle and commercialization of the winter season. Now is the time to connect with those who energize us. Consider stocking up on resources to mitigate seasonal depression and prepare for hibernation. Invest in vitamin D, light therapy equipment for the home and office, and give yourself grace to take it easy during a season designed to quiet all of nature – including human activity. Use now to prepare for a winter of efforting less and resting more.
