"Though trust has never come easily for me, I trust Jeffrey completely. He is a mystic with a doctorate, a wild man acquainted with grief, and a skilled psychotherapist most at home in nature.”

W. Campbell White, MA, LMHC

"Jeffrey has a way of sharing his gifts with people while still feeling very human and accessible. He is also very fun and funny – in a fully embodied and appropriate way.”

"Jeffrey steps into uncomfortable or awkward spaces with a great deal of competency and compassion."

Sarah Steinke LMHC

“On our first day of forest bathing, Jeffrey invited us to pause at the emergence of a threshold I hadn’t noticed, where two trees paralleled each other across the path. Once through, Jeffrey lent me his lens, and I saw my life mirrored in the elements - the roundness of the stream’s once-rough stones, the supportive cluster of young birches, the odor of excrement at my meditation site. Four years later, through heartbreak, grief, and wounds both suffered and inflicted, I am freed to accept healing and sustenance from the gifts of the natural world.”

“His regard for respectful and meaningful relationships to self, others, and his environment is Truth in action. I highly recommend Jeffrey's ECO-therapy. Our world needs this!!”

Karen Kerns

“Jeffrey has been an important, wise guide for me over the past several years. Through our times together he has listened well to my story and cultivated a deeper appreciation for beauty within me. I am so grateful for his presence, play, and voice in my life.”

Paul Hoard PhD LMHC

I have been on wilderness experiences where Jeffrey has been the leader, and he has shown himself to be a competent guide, who is not only at home in that context but also very aware of myriad emotions that participants may experience. He is quite accomplished at alerting us as to what might come up internally for us in those settings.

“Jeffrey Batstone is a knowledgeable wilderness ritual guide. Recently, I had a very intense spiritual experience that took me into a deep space, a place I had never been before, yet I knew I was safe with Jeffrey.”

Ted Eagle

“I have had the privilege of experiencing Dr. Batstone's love, passion, and knowledge of combining the outdoors with redemptive work… Eco -Therapy. He knows that the wilderness is the place of challenge and transformation, and he brings it to bear for his clients.”
