Jessica Rae Counseling

Hi there! I’m Jess and my work is rooted in the power of relationship and earth-based wisdom. I believe that you are inherently whole, carrying your own truth. My intention is that the therapeutic relationship will foster the courage and care to get closer to your personal truth.

I am guided by relationship with the wilderness, both within us and around us. Those I work with have the option to meet remotely,  indoors, or outside for sessions. Through listening, embodied awareness, and relational support, we will attune to what emerges through connection to one another, self, and the environment around us.  

I am currently completing a Masters in the Wilderness Therapy program at Naropa and my internship at the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute. I draw from Gestalt, Existential, Somatic, and Nature-based modalities to be with what is here and now and to see what wants to be tended to. My approach welcomes raw expression, play, and present moment exploration.

For those that are interested, I integrate ancestral skills such as hunting, storytelling, hide tanning, and fire-making—not just as tools, but as living metaphors for intuition and remembering who we are. I believe in the power of ceremony and ritual. If desired, I offer this for clients who are curious or who already have a developed practice in their life. 

If you are drawn to a therapeutic journey that embraces your authenticity, curiosity, the natural world, or the wisdom of ancestral ways, I invite you to reach out!
