Therapy for plant people.
Evidence-based mental healthcare honoring botanical traditions.
At Calyx, we offer an eclectic weaving of evidence-based mental health treatment modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)…along with support for your relationship with plants and botanical education to nurture your connection with nature (if you want it).
When we slow down, breath, and connect, our healing nature meets nature’s healing.
Some of the kinds of folks that find their therapeutic home with Calyx:
Young people (adolescents and emerging adults) finding their way
Helping professionals working in healthcare, education, social services
Creatives such as musicians, artists, writers, and wellness entrepreneurs
Heal. Grow. Bloom…with support.
Good therapy can provide us room to bloom! But not everyone feels totally aligned with the contemporary mental healthcare paradigm.
Some of us have a history of feeling more soothed and supported by nature than by professionals or other people. Calyx is especially for plant people because we recognize that for many of us, plants are teachers and healers. So, what do we mean by therapy for “plant people”? Plant people could include folks who:
love gardening
love hiking and camping
love herbal remedies
love trees
love watering house plants
love tea time
love forest bathing
love foraging and wildcrafting
love environmental advocacy
"In some Native languages the term for plants translates to 'those who take care of us.'"
