Eco-Therapy in Action: Addressing Climate Concerns in Clinical Work

$199.99 Standard

Last summer was this country’s hottest on record. Worldwide, all living creatures suffered through excessive droughts, heatwaves, and a wildfire season that only halfway through the calendar year was worse than any in previous year. With two-thirds of the population anxious about climate change, and more than half worried about its effects on their mental health, becoming a climate-aware therapist is a competency we should all be considering. The mainstay of good ecotherapy is your own “environmental identity.” This self-concept and sense of relationship with nature provides the base on which to build client-specific, ecotherapy interventions. In this experiential session, you’ll discover how to:

  • Explore one's environmental identity, beliefs, and experiences
  • Adapt your existing clinical orientation and skill set to address clients’ environmental and climate concerns
  • Assess your clients’ sources of environmental well-being and resilience as well as their sense of environmental traumas or injustice
  • Integrate ethics, context, and messaging when applying environmental interventions with diverse individuals

Here's What You'll Learn


  • Mental health impacts of climate change and environmental issues
  • Diversity, equity, and social justice issues related to environmental issues
  • Assessments for identifying links between nature values and sustainability actions
  • Differentiating between normal eco-stressors and clinical significant and / or diagnosable eco-anxiety or trauma
  • Therapeutic interventions for ecological related mental distress
  • Demonstrations and role-plays of eco- and climate-conscious therapy, ethics, practices, risks, and limitations
  • Working with special populations
  • Limitations of the research and potential risks

Everything You're Getting


  • More than 4 hours of video content
  • Up to 4.0 CE credits
  • Certificate of completion
  • Handouts and resources
