Free Range Therapy

Expanding where and how therapy happens — integrating movement, nature, and real-world experience into meaningful therapeutic work.

What this looks like

  • Walk-and-talk and nature-based therapy sessions

  • Adventure-informed and experiential therapeutic approaches

  • Training and supervision for clinicians

  • Outdoor intensives and small-group practitioner trainings

    Engagement formats

  • Individual therapy (outdoor / hybrid)

  • Half-day or full-day clinician intensives

  • Multi-session training cohorts

  • Custom training for teams and organizations

Free Range Therapy meets you in spaces that feel real, engaging, and connected to your life. That might be on a hike, by the water, on a run, at a climbing gym, in a creative space, or over coffee.

This is a holistic, evidence-based, and individualized approach — with one key difference: we explore not just what we talk about, but where and how therapy happens.

You’re invited to be intentional and creative in shaping a process that works for you. This approach is grounded in the belief that we all have an internal compass — and that the right conditions can help us reconnect with it.

Within this framework, clients often develop:

  • Greater intrinsic motivation

  • Practical, diverse coping strategies

  • Creative problem-solving skills

  • A stronger connection to identity, values, and direction

This work integrates physical movement, time in natural settings and experiential approaches with Narrative, Cognitive Behavioural, Emotion-Focused, Attachment, and Mindfulness-based therapies — tailored to your needs.

Why This Works

Many men and boys struggle with traditional, office-based therapy models — not because they don’t want help, but because those environments don’t always align with how they’ve learned to process, communicate, and engage.

Movement, shared experience, and being side-by-side (rather than face-to-face) can lower pressure and create more natural, honest conversation. Being outdoors or engaged in an activity often makes it easier to open up, reflect, and stay present.

This approach also expands the definition of what “doing the work” looks like — creating space for action, problem-solving, and embodied experience, not just talk.

For many, it simply feels more real — and therefore, more effective.

Who This Is For

Individual therapy may be a good fit if:

  • You’re navigating mental health challenges or a diagnosis

  • You’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or facing ongoing stress

  • You’re ready to have more honest, meaningful conversations about your life

How It Works

First sessions typically take place in-office — allowing space to connect, complete intake, and explore what approach fits best.

From there, sessions can take many forms. Some clients prefer consistent outdoor or movement-based sessions, while others choose a mix — combining traditional sessions with hikes, outdoor settings, or activity-based experiences.

The goal is simple: find a rhythm, setting, and approach that resonates with you — and supports real movement forward.
