Integrative support for mind, body & everyday life

Cole (she/they) is a holistic, existential psychotherapist, ecotherapist, and educator whose evidence-informed, integrative approach draws from contemporary psychotherapy, mindfulness, body awareness, and nature-based practices. She supports people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, and life transitions with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person's unique experiences and needs.

Cole holds a Master's degree in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Religion from Stockton University. An environmentalist since college, her first job after graduating was with Greenpeace, where she received training in community organizing and environmental advocacy. She later transitioned into yoga and wellness education before becoming a psychotherapist.

For over a decade, Cole taught yoga and mindfulness and worked as a Reiki practitioner and wellness educator in New York and Philadelphia. Her work included outdoor yoga classes, Earth Day fundraisers, and other opportunities to bring mindfulness and movement into community spaces. She's encouraged by the growing research supporting these approaches and their increasing integration into clinical care, schools, and workplaces.

Today, her clinical practice draws from existential and person-centered therapy, elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and somatic approaches. Beyond individual therapy, she facilitates ecotherapy workshops, teaches young people practical skills for nervous system regulation, and supports organizations in developing psychologically safer, more trauma-informed environments.

As a neurodivergent clinician, Cole views neurodiversity as a natural part of human variation. She takes a strengths-based approach that recognizes different ways of thinking and learning while acknowledging the challenges of navigating systems that don't always accommodate those differences.

Cole's passion for making nature-based interventions accessible to urban communities is rooted in her own experience of discovering the restorative benefits of nature later in life. Experiencing firsthand how time outdoors supported her self-regulation and healing continues to inspire her work and her belief that access to nature should be available to everyone.

Outside of work, Cole is an avid hiker and backpacker who enjoys exploring wilderness areas, often through solo adventures.
