About Grow With Nature Consulting
About Grow With Nature Consulting
Grow With Nature Consulting was founded by Alice Nelson, MS, LMFT and is a DBA through the non-profit Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies, Inc.
Alice has several years of experience working with mental health clients in outdoor settings. When Alice was hired at Neuro during the beginning of COVID times, she offered to create a Nature Based Program at Neuro as a way to safely meet clients outside. Now, Neuro’s Nature Based Program includes training, regular consultation, and standardized policies and procedures for how to ethically incorporate Nature Based Therapy into clinical practice.
The Nature Based Program has been so successful at Neuro that Grow With Nature Consulting was developed to further promote teaching Nature Based Therapy to other professionals. We offer a more holistic and restorative approach to mental health.
