New York therapists see surge in eco-anxiety as smoke fills skies: ‘Every client addresses it’

The Guardian | Fri 9 Jun 2023 | Alaina Demopoulos @alainademop

"Devastating wildfires in California and Oregon have led west coasters to seek out climate therapists. Thomas J Doherty, a Portland-based psychologist, co-hosts a popular podcast called Climate Change and Happiness, which disperses advice for coping with stress and finding hope in a bleak future. But the field has been slower to catch on in the east coast, where the effects of the climate crisis could be subtler – until this week."
