About Nature Heals Counseling
My Philosophy
At Nature Heals Counseling, I believe that everyone has the natural potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Hello, my name is Gina Jordan ~ I am a licensed mental health counselor associate in the state of Washington, certified in Dancing Mindfulness, EAGALA (equine assisted psychotherapy) and currently attending EMDR training.
My primary approach to counseling is an integration of mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), somatic awareness, nature-based counseling, experiential psychotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). I believe in a multidisciplinary approach to counseling that considers the interplay between our entire body, mind and spirit, supported by a foundation based in mindfulness. Maybe you are already familiar with mindfulness practices or maybe you are curious? In my own practice and in my therapeutic work with clients, I utilize mindfulness to help loosen the grip of judgement, allowing us to turn toward feelings like guilt, fear and shame. Then with compassion, we can explore what is needed to nurture healing.
Our sessions could look like creating found poetry to process feelings of grief and loss, exercising mindfulness-based stress reduction skills, installing EMDR resources, or experiential practices such as pulling weeds in the garden to explore boundary setting.
Through creative and collaborative exploration, my clients are encouraged to bring awareness to their emotions, thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and behaviors while moving towards changes to minimize emotional distress, and maximize a sense of harmony and connection.
And then the day came
when the risk to remain
tight in a bud was
more painful than the
risk to bloom.
