Welcome to Natural Transformations

Psychotherapy ~ Ecotherapy ~ Nature-Based Therapeutics ~ Consulting ~ Education

The world needs you, in all your wholeness, to be fully yourself and to live the life you were created for.

-Dr. Stephanie Paidas, Psychotherapist and Owner of Natural Transformations

At Natural Transformations, we believe that- like everything in nature- we humans exist for a reason and each serve a meaningful purpose. However, the world today can bury us under its weights and build seemingly insurmountable barriers between ourselves and our feelings of connection to others and those senses of meaning and purpose. Our therapeutic approaches use scientifically proven, empirically validated methods to break down those barriers, to heal the wounds of the past, to address the symptoms that hold you back from fully living, and to help you grow and develop the person you were born to be and the life your soul longs to inhabit. Are you ready?

Therapy and ecotherapy: Lake at Sunset

Your next step toward healing and wholeness starts here. If any of the following resonate with you, our services can help:

  • Your life feels empty or unfulfilling, and you seek support exploring a more meaningful existence.
  • You feel alienated from the world around you, and want to learn how to connect and belong.
  • The roles you inhabit feel old or outdated, and you long to create a more authentic life.
  • Your relationships feel strained or conflict-driven, and you’re ready to experience more constructive connections.
  • You are living with depression or anxiety, and wish to develop the skills and tools to cope, or feel ready to address the underlying issues that fuel them.
  • Your life feels dominated by past trauma, and you believe it’s time to heal.
  • You deeply desire a stronger relationship with nature or your body, and are unsure how to build it.
  • You want to love yourself and your life, and are ready to learn how.

We offer a variety of ways to address the issues you face:

  • Individual psychotherapy
  • Couples and family therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Outdoor therapeutic activities and retreats
  • Traditional therapies like Psychodynamic, Relational, Emotion-focused, Narrative, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), and Family Systems
  • Nature-based therapies and ecotherapy
  • Nature-based activities and ceremonies, and support for nature-based rites of passage

We also work with companies and organizations by offering:

  • Outdoor education and nature-based retreats
  • Leadership and employee self-development
  • Stress management
  • Work-life balance
  • Sustainability and connection with nature
  • Trauma-informed responsiveness
  • And more- please ask if you’re interested in a topic that you think we may be able to assist with.
