Rewild Therapy & Wellness
Where nature is nurture
Hi, I’m Erin!
I founded Rewild Therapy & Wellness to offer an alternative to traditional, office-based therapy. Through my own life and healing, I experienced how profoundly regulating and restorative nature and animals can be, and I wanted to offer that same kind of healing to others.
My work is informed by training in nature-based and earth-centered practices through the Colorado Ecotherapy Institute, equine-assisted psychotherapy through the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies, and animal-assisted therapy through Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado. Over time, I integrated these approaches with my training in EMDR and DBR, as well as my experience as a trauma clinician, to develop my own integrative approach to therapy.
This work includes what I often describe as undomesticating and rewilding practices—approaches that invite clients back into relationship with instinct, intuition, and the natural world as part of the healing process.
I have spent countless hours walking alongside clients on trails, working with horses, and engaging with the natural world—birds, flowers, trees—as a way to support nervous-system regulation, mindfulness, and present-moment awareness. Many clients find relief from stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms through this experiential partnership with nature and animals.
In the office, I work alongside my canine co-therapists, Buddy and Lincoln. I also currently practice at two farm locations, collaborating with the horses at each site. I often tell clients that when they work with me, they don’t just gain one therapist for support—they gain a small team of four-legged partners as well.
I specialize in experiential, “bottom up” trauma therapy rooted in earth based practices.
What are earth based therapies?
Earth based therapy partners with the natural world to help clients heal through intentional, aware connection and slowing down the nervous system and internal world.
I practice undomesticated therapy by rewilding evidence-based therapy modalities by combining them with earth based practices that are outside of the box, outside of buildings, and in relationship with animals and plants, making them a little more wild and a whole lot closer to nature.
What is Undomesticated Therapy™?
Undomesticated therapy takes in the long-view of who we are as human beings in client conceptualization. This is therapy that includes and goes beyond the intra- and interpersonal aspects of a client and considers the context of our ancient, undomesticated selves, one’s ecological identity and history, and the role cultural socialization has on a client’s authenticity.
Undomesticated therapy rewilds conventional therapy through many experiential paths and approaches such as: challenging societal conditioning and norms; reawakening instinct and intuition through somatic practices; partnering with animals and wildlife such as horses, donkeys, or birds; integrating herbology or plant medicine; hiking or walk-n-talks; and most importantly – actively collaborating with one’s local bioregion in interventions from a place of competence, relationship, and consideration of the client’s presenting concerns

What Makes My Practice Unique?
Rewild Therapy and Wellness is an experiential, earth based trauma therapy practice.
I offer a variety of research backed modalities to meet each clients unique personality, interests and needs.
Our nervous systems need nature to regulate.
More and more research is coming out validating what we already know:
People who spend time in nature are less stressed than people in an urban settings
People who move their bodies regularly and get physical exercise have less overall health problems
Healthy relationships contribute to overall wellness and happiness.
In this I honor that:
As humans we need movement, creativity, and expression.
We need fresh air and deep breath.
We need play and fun.
We need 3-dimensional relationships, not screens.
We need healthy, local foods with plenty of plants.
We need connection to the natural world and natural rhythms.
Let me rewild with you.
“You are comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements, and 8 gallons of water spread across 38 trillion cells. You have been built up from nothing by the spare parts of the Earth you have consumed, according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix and small enough to be carried by a sperm. You are recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur, and shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts and rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing.
You are not living on Earth. You are Earth.”

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “good faith estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items of services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
You will receive a GFE in writing at least 1 business day before your session. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE. For questions, or more information about your right to a GFE, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call Colorado Division of Insurance at 303.894.7490 or 1-800-930-3745

Erin Henry, MSW, LCSW
Erin has worked across diverse clinical settings, including hospice, juvenile detention, community mental health, nonprofit organizations, and private practice—experiences that have shaped her deeply integrative, compassionate approach to care.
She holds her 500 hour (advanced yoga teacher training) and has been weaving yoga and psychotherapy together since beginning her work as a therapist in 2010. Erin is trained in multiple trauma-informed modalities, including EMDR, Equilateral: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Gestalt Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, nature-based therapy, and integrative nutrition for mental health. These approaches are thoughtfully integrated into a holistic framework that partners with nature as a co-therapist.
Erin believes that true healing requires tending to the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while remembering our innate connection to the natural world and the wisdom it offers. Healing, in her view, is relational, embodied, and rooted in both human and more-than-human connection.
As a breast cancer survivor and thriver, Erin is especially passionate about supporting others as they move beyond survival and into wholeness, meaning, and vitality after cancer.
Outside of her work, Erin can often be found dancing, working out, and playing outside—camping, traveling, and exploring wild places. Through her own life experiences, she has come to trust the wilderness as a powerful teacher—one that helps us reconnect with the land, with one another, and with ourselves, so we can live more grounded, empowered, and balanced lives.
