What does a nature therapist do?

A nature therapist facilitates healing and mental well-being by guiding clients through outdoor activities and nature-based interventions. They often work in natural settings, using activities like hiking, gardening, or mindfulness in nature to promote emotional health, and may hold certifications in therapy or environmental education.

In the therapy field, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists tend to earn the highest salaries, often due to advanced degrees, licensing requirements, and specialized training.

Salary levels can vary based on location, experience, and work setting.
