"Heidi is an immensely talented psychotherapist, author, and public speaker who has a remarkable ability to continually innovate and expand her professional practice. She combines a rigorous intellectual capability and insight with compassion, empathy and warmth. Heidi is a pioneer in the field of nature-informed therapy, and has successfully integrated the healing properties of the natural world into her clinical approach. You will not find a more passionate or versatile mental health practitioner in this region."

"Heidi spoke to our Bible Study Group on Peace Amidst Anxiety. She was thoughtful and insightful in how she wove mental health and faith seamlessly together. A very comforting yet challenging talk with many practical take aways."

"My church invited Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan to give a seminar during our speaker series on community and individual health. As a mental health counselor who did academic research on this topic, she described evidence for how experiencing nature and the outdoors can improve mental health. She encouraged us with advice for dealing with anxiety and depression. For our community of believers, she inspired us to seek God in nature. She is a gifted speaker who engages the audience. We hope to have her back again."

"We had the privilege of having Dr. Schreiber-Pan speak at a one day's women retreat at our church. She was absolutely fantastic! She offered us numerous practical tools, relatable illustrations and memorable metaphors to deal with the issue of anxiety in our lives. Her ability to seamlessly weave and integrate faith in her talk through the use of scriptures, prayer and personal examples helped point us to draw near to the source of true peace that only can be found in God."

"As a colleague of Heidi Schreiber-Pan, I have been fascinated by and have admired the way that she incorporates nature and mindfulness in her therapy work. I had a chance to see her in action by going on her Peace in the Wild retreat, and I had a wonderful experience. She provided skills, structure, and safety so that we participants could explore ourselves and nature in depth."
