Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan
Ph.D., LCPC
Psychotherapist, author, speaker, and founder of the Center for Nature Informed Therapy.
My work explores how we find steadiness in an anxious world and how our relationship with nature can support mental health.
I share that work through books, speaking, and the nonprofit I founded, the Center for Nature Informed Therapy (CNIT).
A cause close to my heart
I founded the Center for Nature Informed Therapy because I want nature to have a place in the way we care for people.
At CNIT, we train helping professionals to bring nature into their work and offer programs that help people reconnect with the natural world. Making this work accessible is especially important to me.
Your gift helps support training scholarships, community programs, and the research that guides our work. When a professional gains these skills, they can carry them into the lives of the people they serve.
If something in a talk or a book has stayed with you, I invite you to help this work reach others. Thank you for supporting a cause so close to my heart.
Meet Heidi
Ph.D., LCPC, NCC, ACS
The Clinical Director of Chesapeake Mental Health Collaborative, Dr. Schreiber-Pan has dedicated her life to improving people's mental health. Through nature-based research she has improved upon our understanding of nature's ability to help individuals reduce anxiety and depression. Through public speaking, authorship, and curative events Dr. Heidi has pushed the boundaries of the mental health field.
Thank you so much for an outstanding and inspirational talk last evening! You’re such a gifted presenter, with a real knack for weaving together hard science, common sense logic, anecdotal information from your years as a clinician, and emotional (and sensory) appeal. (The catbird and gray treefrog, who were calling as you discussed the calming sounds of nature, seemed to agree!) I appreciate your ability to explain fairly complex concepts in clear, layman’s terms so your audience ends up informed, rather than confused, and intrigued, never disengaged.

Peace in the Wild
What People are Saying about Dr. Heidi's Meditation CD:
"What a wonderful way to fall asleep. No matter how much my mind is racing, listening to just one meditation from Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan makes me so relaxed, I fall asleep by the end of the meditation. Her soothing voice puts me right at ease, and her explanations about what meditation is, puts it all in perspective. She allows us to acknowledge that our minds race, and that is the first step in taking this wonderful journey into meditation, even for beginners."
"Peace in the Wild is one of the best CDs for being still and for being in the present moment. With beautiful soundscapes and a soothing voice, this has become a staple for my mindfulness practice. Highly recommend for everyone, including those with children, as they can benefit from this CD, too"
“I can't tell you how wonderful your meditation CD is, I hear your voice and immediately relaxed.”
