Our mission is to make therapy accessible to all families, providing a unique and effective experience that incorporates the healing power of both indoor and outdoor environments. We are dedicated to helping children overcome developmental challenges while actively supporting parents and guardians.
Whether indoors or outdoors, we provide opportunities for children to engage in activities like hiking, climbing, splashing in water, and sensory-rich play—all designed to promote physical and emotional growth in a safe and nurturing setting. At Good Nature Therapy Services, we are committed to providing an environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
HI, I'M REBECCA!
Occupational Therapist (MOT, OTR/L), Owner, Founder
I want all children to experience the joy of being themselves and spending time outdoors.
As a seasoned pediatric occupational therapist, I love outdoor sessions because nature brings out the best in kids. Through a combination of parent support and play-based outdoor sessions, I’m dedicated to helping kids build the social, emotional, and physical skills for everyday life at home and school. With a mission to share the therapeutic benefits of nature with more families in NE Ohio, I designed a therapy center with an accessible outdoor play garden where my team of therapy providers help kids play their way to progress.

Bringing Pediatric SLP & OT to MORE Families
Our brand-new clinic in Aurora is now open! Located at 239 E. Garfield Rd, this 1.74-acre property offers a spacious outdoor area designed for big movements, sensory exploration, and therapeutic play. Children can engage in activities like hiking, climbing, splashing in water, and enjoying sensory-rich experiences in the natural world. The indoor space features a rock wall, hammock, mats, and plenty of room for movement, making it an ideal setting for both active play and calming activities. With creature comforts like indoor restrooms and a mudroom, our indoor clinic helps ease the transition between indoor and outdoor therapy sessions.
What Sets Us Apart

Commitment to Excellence
Parenting can be difficult, but it is worth the investment to get it right. We are committed to providing clients with the tools and resources they need to be successful parents.
Celebrate Success
Every child deserves to feel successful and celebrated. We celebrate our kids' achievements and provide them with the support that helps them reach their full potential.
Embrace Nature
Nature is essential to childhood and personal growth. We encourage families to embrace the outdoors and provide them with solutions that facilitate outdoor play and exploration.
Lighten the Load
Life can be overwhelming, no matter how old you are. Nature lightens the load and provides a sense of calm, balance, and fun. We teach families how to connect with nature to find peace in their busy lives.
"Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt."

How We Do It & Why
GOOD NATURE THERAPY APPROACH
We provide affirming, play-based therapy built around goals that support the child.
Our interventions are drvien by a desire for 3 things:
Affirming Care
Come as you are and feel accepted! We put the ideas of affirming care into action. That means your child is accepted as an amazing person, period - end of sentence. With that core belief in mind, let's face challenges head-on by exploring ways of doing things differently or adding the right support so your child can be successful as their true selves.

HOW GOOD NATURE THERAPY SERVICES CAN HELP
At Good Nature Therapy Services, our approach is rooted in practical, down-to-earth solutions that bring out the best in kids while supporting families. We believe in a strength-based approach to therapy, ensuring that we support not only your child but also you, the parents and guardians, every step of the way.
