Rooted Healing, Lasting Change.
Integrating Counseling with Nature and Forest Therapy/Shinrin-Yoku
in Montana and Lake Tahoe, CA.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Adam Chiappone, and I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique journeys toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.
With years of experience as a therapist, I believe that each person’s path is as individual as the rings in a tree, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you explore yours. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in respect for your lived experience.
My Approach
I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities, tailoring our work together to fit your needs and goals. Some of the core approaches I offer include:
Nature and Forest Therapy
Reconnecting with the natural world can be a powerful catalyst for change. I offer sessions in the forest or natural spaces, inviting you to slow down, ground yourself, and let the healing presence of nature support your wellbeing.
EMDR
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is and evidence-based therapy is especially helpful for those working through trauma, anxiety, or distressing memories. EMDR gently supports your mind in reprocessing challenging experiences, paving the way for relief and integration.
Alternative Therapeutic Methods
I believe in meeting you where you are, and sometimes that means thinking outside the box. I incorporate mindfulness, somatic practices, expressive arts, and other holistic approaches to help you access your innate resilience and wisdom.
What You Can Expect
Working together, you’ll find an accepting, nonjudgmental space—whether that’s in the comfort of my office or walking among the trees.
I honor your pace and preferences, and I am here to listen, support, and gently guide you as you create meaningful change in your life.
Let’s Connect
If you’re feeling called to explore therapy with me, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you as you rediscover your strengths and reconnect with what matters most.
I look forward to meeting you and discovering how we can work together to nurture your growth and healing.
