Welcome to The Find Your Still Point Podcast - Season 2! This is a podcast for those interesting in learning and practicing skills to support nervous system regulation for whole body wellness. Host - Jessica King - is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina where she owns a group private practice and a wellness consultation practice where she offers wellness business coaching, trainings, and retreats. In Jessica's own private practice, she works with people who are feeling overwhelmed and want to feel more connected. She utilizes mindfulness based cognitive therapy, internal family systems, and somatic experiencing to support individuals in their own healing. She is also passionate about supporting other helping professions and actively studies and works in the field of burnout prevention in order to help our community find more resilience.
Today, Jessica interview Michelle Walker, LCSWA. Michelle Walker is the owner of Salt and Cypress Counseling, a nature focused therapy practice located in Wilmington North Carolina. Michelle works with adult clients and her clinical focus is PTSD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. Michelle also specializes in Perinatal Mental Health which includes pregnancy and postpartum mental illnesses. Michelle began to introduce a nature-based therapy approach into her practice in March of 2023 after completing a training in Colorado that transformed her perspective on mental health treatment.
Jessica and Michelle discuss the benefits of nature based therapy, as well as provide details on how they combine their specialities in their upcoming fall Nature and Nurture Eco Retreat in the NC Mountains.
