Eco-Grief and Eco-Anxiety Therapy - Sherwood Park Psychologists
Understanding Eco-Grief
Eco-grief is the profound sadness and distress that arises from witnessing the degradation of the natural world. As environmental changes impact our planet, many individuals feel a deep sense of loss, helplessness, and mourning for the harm done to ecosystems and species. At Little Tree Psychology, we recognize the validity of these emotions and offer compassionate support to help you process your eco-grief. Through our specialized counselling, we aim to empower you to find hope, take meaningful action, and reconnect with nature in healing ways
