BODA Therapy, founded by Andrew Tepper, LCSW, launched in 2021 and has quickly gained traction as an activity-based, nature-focused therapeutic experience for individuals, groups and families. 

BODA takes clients outdoors and creates immersive therapeutic experiences that offer clients something beyond a one-hour weekly therapy session in an office setting.  Being outdoors has not only been clinically proven to positively affect mood and concentration, and reduce overall stress levels, but also takes participants out of their environments where unhelpful patterns and triggers are created.  Familiar and enjoyable activities in nature become the setting in which skills are created, used and practiced.  Whether hiking up a mountain or skiing down one, BODA aims to identify and undo unhelpful patterns and triggers for clients and strives to make therapy enjoyable, all while creating a blueprint for maintaining wellbeing.  When therapy becomes fun, BODA believes clients are consequently more engaged and more invested in their own work. Founder and psychotherapist Andrew Tepper has been working on the model since the early days of the pandemic, “BODA Therapy was born out of the endless inspiration I find in nature and the need for a new approach to therapy during the height of the pandemic. When I began to meet my clients outdoors, I noticed they were more engaged in the work and the therapeutic alliance was strengthened.”

The other option that BODA Therapy is offering are group retreats are scheduled on January 20th – 23rd and on February 18th – 21st in the Catskills Region of New York led by BODA Therapy’s founder Andrew Tepper, LCSW.
