Outpost
Nature Therapy, Mobile Therapy, and Accessible In-Home Therapy
The Mobile Therapy Van (The Outpost) is officially on the move. The first of it’s kind in Alberta, this 4-wheeled office was established to bring the therapy experience closer to you, and you closer to Nature. Sessions are offered at various nature space locations throughout Calgary. The Outpost offers a private and confidential space to meet with your psychologist. 4 season ready, the Outpost contains a therapy area, beverage station, and (importantly) snacks.
*The OUTPOST is committed to ensuring a clean space, the van undergoes enhanced cleaning protocols to help keep you safe and comfortable during session.
Walk and Talk Therapy
Come on OUT!
Movement is medicine. There is a growing body of research that shows the physical environment can aid in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental health issues. Engagement and exposure to natural environments can have many health benefits and walking with a therapist can feel more relaxing and less intense than sitting in an office. Moving our bodies outdoors while engaging in therapy can change our brains, improve our mood, and improve symptoms of complex trauma and burnout. The origins of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) began with Francine Shapiro taking a walk in the park. SO! Snow or shine, let’s get outside.
*Cascade Health offers accessible options for outdoor therapy.
