Walk & Talk Therapy
Experience the healing power of nature combined with therapeutic conversation. Sessions by the ocean or in serene parks offer a unique, invigorating approach to therapy.
A Different Approach
Why Walk & Talk Therapy?
Combining the therapeutic power of conversation with the benefits of movement and nature creates a unique healing experience.
The Science Behind It
Research shows that walking and being in nature can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function. The bilateral movement of walking can also help process emotions and memories, similar to EMDR therapy.
Many clients find that walking side-by-side, rather than sitting face-to-face, makes difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more natural.
