A New Therapeutic Horticulture Program

Root and Rise: where healing takes root and growth unfolds.

Trellis Counseling is excited to introduce Root and Rise, a new therapeutic horticulture
program designed to support individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
through nature-based mental health care.
Root and Rise is grounded in the understanding that by engaging with plants, natural
rhythms, and living systems, participants are invited to slow down, reconnect with their
bodies, and build practical tools for regulating anxiety in a tangible way.

We are offering two services for those interested in the Root and Rise program.

Growing Calm:

A 4-Week Workshop for Understanding Anxiety
This small-group experience integrates:
• Learn about anxiety and the nervous system
• Hands-on activities with natural materials
• Explore practices to help calm down
• Reflection and discussion in a supportive group setting
Each session is designed to help participants better understand how anxiety shows up in
their minds and bodies while offering practical strategies for coping. This workshop will
offer opportunities for grounding, present-moment awareness, and building a sense of
safety and steadiness.
No gardening experience is required. Activities are designed to support emotional
regulation rather than productivity or performance.

Root and Rise Individual Sessions

Therapeutic Horticulture 1:1

Root and Rise also offers individual therapeutic horticulture sessions as a separate
service.
Clients may choose to engage in three 1:1 sessions with a licensed therapist experienced
in therapeutic horticulture. These sessions provide personalized mental health support
using plant-based and nature-focused interventions tailored to the client’s specific goals
and experiences.
Individual sessions may be a good fit for those who:
• Prefer one-on-one therapy
• Want a more personalized pace and focus
• Are interested in therapeutic horticulture
• These sessions stand alone and do not require participation in the group workshop.

Who Root and Rise Is For

Root and Rise may be a good fit if you:

• Experience anxiety, chronic stress, or nervous system overwhelm
• Feel disconnected from your body or daily rhythms
• Are curious about experiential or nature-based therapy
• Want practical tools alongside emotional insight
You don’t need to be “good with plants” or have any prior gardening experience.
