About Molly Frieberg:
Molly Freiberg, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, the owner of Inhabit & Rise, her private therapy practice in Philadelphia. She trained at the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership to become a certified Mindful Outdoor Guide and studied at the Gestalt Training Institute of Philadelphia. In other lives she’s been a Forest Kindergarten teacher and a land trust employee. Currently she loves offering in-person, virtual, and walk-and-talk therapy out in nature, training therapists and counselors about mindfulness in nature, supervising MSW students at SUNY Albany, and guiding Mindful Nature Walks and events throughout the area.
From Molly: “What we will do with our time together starts with the question: What’s an early memory of being connected with the natural world? Some have shared feeling joyous and free. Others say they’ve experienced curiosity and vitality. Yet most admit losing that connection over the years. In times of high stress, loneliness, despair, and endless screen time, we can connect to the natural world for restoration, wellness, and belonging. Studies show that time in nature can reduce anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, and loneliness. It can improve creativity, memory, and the immune system while restoring an embodied sense of awe. My deepest wish is for us all to remember our place in the family of nature, recalling we are always knitted into a reciprocal web of life and worth. In our practice together, we will take a breath, open our senses, let go of all but the present moment, and saunter slowly through the woods with fresh eyes.”
