Therapy & Nature-Based Programs for Growth
Evolve In Nature was founded on the belief that healing emerges from the conscious connection of body, mind, and nature. Our practice integrates trauma-informed somatic therapy, EMDR, gestalt parts work, and nature-based modalities to address past traumas, enhance emotional balance, and cultivate authentic living. With over two decades of combined experience, our clinical team specializes in attachment therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and wilderness therapy, offering personalized treatment for individuals and couples. We provide indoor, outdoor, and virtual sessions tailored to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Our approach combines modern neuroscience with holistic practices, empowering clients to transform negative patterns into healthy behaviors. As pioneers in nature-based therapy, we leverage the therapeutic power of outdoor environments to deepen self-awareness and accelerate healing. Our team includes certified clinical supervisors, trauma practitioners, and psychiatric providers committed to evidence-based care. We maintain rigorous professional standards through continuous training in emerging modalities like polyvagal theory and IFS/parts work. Our Boulder, Colorado practice serves as both a clinical space and a living laboratory for innovative therapeutic techniques.

Services
Individual Therapy
Our individual therapy sessions create safe spaces for clients to explore emotional challenges and life transitions. Using trauma-informed approaches like somatic therapy and EMDR, we help clients process past experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The integration of nature-based elements enhances self-awareness and accelerates healing outcomes.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling focuses on improving communication and rebuilding trust in relationships. Through emotion-focused techniques and attachment theory, we help partners understand relationship patterns and develop deeper emotional connections. Nature-based sessions offer unique opportunities for collaborative growth and experiential learning.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy accelerates trauma recovery by reprocessing distressing memories using bilateral stimulation. Our certified practitioners guide clients through eight treatment phases to reduce the impact of traumatic experiences. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma symptoms.
Nature-Based Programs
Nature-based programs integrate wilderness experiences with clinical therapy to enhance emotional healing. Outdoor sessions promote mindfulness and sensory awareness while addressing mental health challenges. These programs combine therapeutic interventions with the restorative benefits of natural environments for holistic healing.
Wilderness Therapy
Wilderness therapy uses outdoor experiences to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery. Guided nature walks and environmental interactions help clients develop new perspectives on their challenges. This approach combines traditional counseling techniques with the therapeutic effects of natural settings to enhance treatment outcomes.

I've been seeing Shelly as part of my C-PTSD treatment plan, and she has been incredibly kind, genuinely caring and very helpful in our weekly sessions over the past 1.5 years. Would highly recommend her and her team, and am so grateful to them for their role in me "coming back to earth". Xoxox

I found Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy in 2016 when I was really struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. I started working with Shelly Froehlich and her support was invaluable in helping me through what I was experiencing at that time and throughout life's challenges in the last 4 years. Her somatic approach helped me learn to connect with my body and emotions better, and to build more resilience when dealing with life and relationship challenges. I'm forever grateful for the support, compassion, and guidance I got from Evolve in Nature Psychotherapy!

Heather is a highly skilled and compassionate therapist who brings her intuition and body awareness to support others to tap into their own inner wisdom. She is especially gifted at working with individuals with chronic illness, and the associated trauma, who want to be more at ease in their own skin.

I have worked closely with Evolve in Nature for years. In doing so, I have transformed my life and my subsequent relationships. Shelly is exceptional at what she does. She is dedicated, kind, compassionate, intelligent, and truly cares about her clients. I would not be where I am today, both personally or professionally, if not for her gentle guidance. I highly recommend Shelly - she is the best!

I've had such an incredible experience knowing and working with Shelly. I don't know many people who listen as well, care as much, or help as willingly as she does. She is the real deal; I couldn't recommend this clinic highly enough!

Shelly is the most effective therapist I've ever had, period. I highly recommend her to those who need to deal with any past trauma. Since my early 20's I've known that if I didn't deal with my traumatic childhood, I'd never live to my fullest potential or feel truly happy. Shortly after I moved to Boulder at age 43, I joined Shelly's first ACOA therapy group. I also started personal therapy a year later.
She has literally helped me crawl out of a deep, dark hole of pain. It is hard work, but so worth it. If you are ready to take the next step and do the work, Shelly definitly has the skills and along with her warm, judgement free personality, you can't help but succeed.
