Therapeutic Wellness

At Ujima Retreat Center, we offer trauma-informed, clinically grounded therapeutic services in natural and restorative environments. All sessions are facilitated or supervised by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), ensuring that they meet the standards for high-quality care and eligible for insurance reimbursement.

NATURE 

PLAY THERAPY

Reconnecting to joy, presence, and emotional healing through nature-based play.

All ages | Individual sessions

Play isn't just for children. It is a powerful healing tool for adult too. Nature Play Therapy uses guided, creative, and sensory-based activities in outdoor settings to support emotional expression, stress relief, and connection to the self. Whether working through anxiety, trauma, or burnout, clients are invited to rediscover joy, spontaneity, and self regulation through movement, art, play, and mindfulness in nature.

Summer Fun

NATURE-BASED FAMILY THERAPY

Strengthening bonds in an outdoor, grounded setting

All ages | Family sessions

Reconnect, communicate, and grow together. This therapy brings families into nature to address challenges such as grief, transition, conflict, or disconnection. Through movement, storytelling, and facilitated discussion, families work toward healthier relationships and deeper understanding of one another—away from the distractions of everyday life.

NATURE-BASED GRIEF THERAPY

A safe space to honor loss, release emotional burdens, and nurture the heart.

All ages | Individual and Group sessions

Our Grief & Renewal experience offers support as guests are invited to move at their own pace toward healing. Available as a rejuvenating day retreat or an immersive overnight stay, each experience is designed to hold your grief with compassion while opening a path toward renewal.
