EMBRACE CHANGE
For more than 27 years, Second Nature has been a trusted leader in nature-based therapy—known for clinical excellence, heartfelt care, and a deep belief in the power of the outdoors to heal and transform. Second Nature was founded on the belief that struggling teens and their families deserve personalized, relationship-focused therapy—delivered with compassion, professionalism, and respect. Our approach blends proven clinical practices with the healing rhythm of nature.
Oftentimes, students arrive resistant to therapy—angry at their parents, and sometimes, it seems, at the world itself. Yet within the structure, consistency, and therapeutic support of our program, they begin to open up—drawn in by trust-building, in-the-moment guidance, and authentic connections. As they gain insight, learn accountability, and develop healthier coping strategies, they start to reconnect with their families, repair trust, and build stronger, more supportive relationships. Together, we help create the foundation for lasting change and a healthier future for the entire family.
EXPLORE OUR PROGRAM
Clinically developed for teens, ages 13-17, Second Nature offers a time-tested, immersive experience that combines time in nature—away from constant digital stimulation and external pressure— creating a space for real reflection and insight to emerge. The rhythm of daily life—learning to work with others, take care of themselves, understanding the challenges holding them back and navigate natural challenges—builds emotional resilience and self-awareness in an organic way.
Throughout the immersive therapeutic experience, students are supported by skilled therapists and field staff as they begin to recognize emotions, shift patterns, and explore new, healthier ways of relating.
