Treatment Approach

The foundation of Red Tail Therapy is in nature and trauma-informed techniques. We conduct sessions virtually and in-person (outdoors). Initial sessions are virtual and at your pace. We believe accelerated healing can occur where nature is a co-therapist. Backed by science, nature alone can promote wellbeing, emotional regulation, and connection.

We would be honored to partner with you in a safe, supportive space where you feel both heard and empowered to lead your healing process. In addition to nature informed therapy, we will utilize mindfulness, TF-CBT, somatic, and attachment-based approaches to support you during our sessions. We have a depth of understanding and comfort working in nature and skills in wilderness survival to promote a safe, slow, accessible, and protective approach.

Crimson is licensed in Maryland and primarily works individually with children (8+), teens, and LGBTQ+ young adults. Her treatment focus areas are anxiety, depression, peer or life stress and trauma. Ideal clients would like to engage in virtual or outdoor nature informed therapy in Baltimore and surrounding counties.
