Walk-and-Talk Therapy

Healing in nature is a great alternative.

Often, you can think more clearly outside. The sights and sounds of nature are refreshing and rejuvenating. Are you looking for an alternative to traditional in-office or virtual therapy? If the answer is yes, then Walk-and-Talk Therapy may be right for you.

Walk-and-Talk Therapy is particularly beneficial for those who may feel uncomfortable sitting in a traditional therapy setting. It can also be helpful for those who struggle with anxiety or depression and find it difficult to open up in a traditional therapy session. The physical activity of walking can also help reduce stress and anxiety, making it an ideal therapy for those looking for a holistic approach to mental health.

Walk therapy takes the therapeutic space outside and into the healing environment of nature. We meet at a local park or trail and have our session in the great outdoors.

Walking while talking can engage your body and senses and encourage psychological movement through physical movement.

Exposure to nature can help create clarity.

Trauma lives in the body and is processed both physically and mentally. Many clients feel alive and grounded when surrounded by fresh air and natural beauty.

Plus, the added benefit of endorphins released during the walk can help make your mood happier and clear your headspace.

You determine the pace and intensity level, allowing us to breathe, talk, and focus on our discussion. If you prefer a meditative, relaxing session while walking or a more active, fast-paced session, walk therapy will follow your lead.

Walk-and-talk therapy provides an excellent option.

This alternative approach to in-office or virtual therapy is for anyone who is looking for a unique and effective way to improve their mental health.

This form of therapy is accessible to everyone, regardless of their fitness level or physical abilities.

While meeting in a public setting reduces privacy and confidentiality, we will try to minimize the opportunity for others to listen in.

After an initial telehealth session, we can determine if “Walk Therapy” may be an avenue you’d like to explore.
