Terri Dalton, PhD, LCSW, CADC is a clinical social worker and addictions therapist in private practice, a teacher, and a long-time outdoor retreat leader with thirty years of experience working with complex trauma, addictions, anxiety, and depression. Four years ago, after 12 years of running outdoor IFS focused retreats for women all over the United States, she opened her own nature focused retreat center "In the Beyond" located in the Pacific Northwest outside Olympia, Washington. She specializes in individual and group work with all ages but particularly with women and girls healing from trauma and addictions. She integrates IFS with her somatic practices that also include yoga, meditation and Authentic Movement. IFS has been a passion of hers for more than fifteen years as a solid foundation in her vision of healing lives that began early in her life growing up hiking and backpacking the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Central California where she grew up.
