Ali Archer, LPC

Welcome! My name is Ali and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, providing counseling and ecotherapy for children, teens, and adults ages 4-70+. I have deep faith in our innate capacity for healing through growing in our relationship with others, ourselves and the natural world. I am passionately committed to helping my clients develop their self-compassion, resilience, and zest for life! Those who seek me out tend to be looking for support in healing trauma-related suffering for themselves or their child, in addition to support with mood and anxiety disorders. What is ecotherapy? Ecotherapy is the practice of welcoming nature into the session. Ecotherapists are grounded in the fact that people are inherently inseparable from the natural world, and seek to facilitate and uplift the many ways nature nurtures our bodies and minds. This can look like: processing climate grief in my office, managing anxiety through developing your relationship with your garden, improving symptoms of stress/burnout through nature-based mindfulness, or taking a walk together outside. Together, we can decide what ecotherapy means in your healing. In addition to ecotherapy, I practice as a Level I Certified AEDP counselor with adults and teens, with a focus on improving relationships and healing relational and attachment wounding. My practice with children is highly informed by Child-Centered Play Therapy and interpersonal neurobiology. I often utilize somatic, mindfulness, and other experiential methods with all ages. My practice offers services in a variety of settings and formats to meet your specific needs and goals, including my office, nearby nature spaces, and virtually from your home.
