Nature-Based Therapy
Healing Beyond Four Walls
Some of the most powerful healing happens outside of traditional office settings. This is why Tony Parmenter founded Therapeutic Fly-fishing with EMDR (TF-EMDR)®.
Our science-based outdoor and nature-based therapy options invite the calming, grounding presence of the natural world into the therapeutic process. Whether fly-fishing, walking, hiking, meditating by water, or simply breathing beneath the trees, nature becomes an active partner in your healing journey.
​
This approach supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, trauma recovery, and deeper self-awareness—especially for those who feel natural and authentic freedom in the outdoors.
​
A Mind–Body–Nature Connection
Nature-based therapy blends evidence-based psychotherapy with movement, mindfulness, and sensory awareness. Sessions may include walk-and-talk therapy, seated reflection in outdoor spaces, or grounding practices integrated with EMDR and trauma-informed care.
These sessions are ideal for both adults and teens who:
-
Feel more at ease outside

Struggle to open up in traditional office settings
-
Find clarity through movement and fresh air
