Gerti Schoen

Gerti Schoen, a licensed psychoanalyst with an MA and LP, has explored many different schools of thought, both therapeutic and spiritual, through her own healing journey. She believes that the healing process involves three essential components: developing self-understanding, releasing old grief from accumulated losses, and allowing emotions to flow naturally instead of suppressing them. Gerti emphasizes that talk therapy lays the groundwork for clarity and calm, especially when the mind is burdened by confusion and overwhelm. Her practice includes guided meditations that facilitate deep emotional release and connect individuals to the heart's loving and generous energy. To address feelings of loneliness and disconnection, Gerti combines the healing power of nature with her therapeutic work, integrating elements from forest therapy, eco-feminist spirituality, and shamanic traditions, particularly when addressing grief related to the climate crisis. She encourages the practice of talk therapy while walking in nature, which greatly enhances the healing process. Gerti is passionate about mending our broken relationship to community and believes in the importance of seeking help and support from one another. Her women's circles serve as a platform to overcome fears and inner obstacles while fostering connection and understanding.
