The excellence you expect in an environment you love.
For certain services, clientele may choose to meet with their counseling, consultation or wellness provider in an environment that makes relaxation more natural. Research tells us that our brains refresh when we interact with nature or even view a horizon. This calming effect is not foreign to those of us who make their homes on the beach. (It is no coincidence that the owners of Coast to Coast Counseling & Wellness also make their home walking distance from Chix Beach.)
Beach counseling, consultation and wellness sessions involve the principles and techniques of ecopsychology, mindful awareness in body-oriented therapy (MABT), biophysiology, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapy during sessions. There are synergistic benefits of working toward reach your goals with your provider while practicing self-care and mindfulness while interacting with a natural environment. The results of the multi-tiered growth that occurs can increase progress significantly and develop patterns necessary to maintain ground that has been gained.
Like any modality of counseling, consulting or wellness work, appropriateness for each situation and individual’s goals must be taken into account and discussed with your provider to ensure beach sessions would not impede progress. Considerations of privacy and other issues will be discussed at that time.
If you would like your session to involve your dog or Rigatoni, our therapy dog in training, please discuss those ideas with your provider prior to your beach session.
