Help Build the Future of Nature-Based Mental Health Care

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced clinician ready to expand their leadership through clinical supervision while helping shape an innovative model of nature-based mental health care.

You believe the connection between people, animals, plants, and the natural world can be a powerful part of healing. So do we.

At Resilient Kids Child & Family Therapy, we’re proud to partner with Buddy’s Place, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to nature-based wellness by helping healthcare, mental health, and wellness providers incorporate agricultural settings into their work. Together, we’re creating a place where therapy extends beyond four walls—where children and families experience healing through meaningful connections with animals, gardens, and the natural world.

Here, therapy doesn’t begin when a child sits in a chair.

• It begins with muddy boots.
• Chicken feed in your hands.
• Fresh herbs growing in the garden.
• Curious rabbits and gentle therapy dogs.
• Trails that invite conversation instead of pressure.

At Buddy’s Place, nature isn’t simply where therapy happens—it becomes an active partner in the healing process. Every garden, every animal, and every shared experience offers opportunities to build confidence, strengthen relationships, regulate emotions, and reconnect with the world around us.

We’re looking for an experienced clinician whose connection to animals, gardening, agriculture, and the natural world is authentic—not someone who’s simply curious about nature-based therapy, but someone who naturally incorporates these values into both their personal life and clinical philosophy.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
