What is Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and Talk Therapy is a unique and innovative approach to traditional therapy sessions that allows individuals to physically walk with their counselor outside of the office. It combines the benefits of talk therapy with the healing power of movement and the great outdoors. Instead of being confined to a traditional therapy room, clients and therapists engage in therapeutic sessions while walking together in natural surroundings, such as parks, gardens, or along the Trinity River trails. This form of therapy aims to promote holistic well-being by integrating physical activity, fresh air, and the beauty of nature into the therapeutic process.

 

Who can benefit from Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and Talk Therapy is suitable for individuals of all ages who may be dealing with a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Stress and Anxiety

  • Depression and Mood Disorders

  • Relationship Issues

  • Grief and Loss

  • Low Self-Esteem

  • Life Transitions

  • Personal Growth and Self-Discovery

 

How do I get started?

If you are a current client, please contact your counselor to discuss of Walk and Talk Therapy is right for you. All new clients will have an in person intake assessment to ensure suitability for Walk and Talk Therapy. We are happy to assist you in arranging a suitable time and location for subsequent sessions.

Be prepared to be on your feet for much of the counseling session, thus dress accordingly to ensure a comfortable and effective session. In case of inclement weather, your counselor will contact you to reschedule the session for in-person.

You can get started today by reaching out and starting the journey to prioritize you and your well-being.

 

Note: Walk and Talk Therapy is not a suitable option for everyone. If you have physical limitations or health concerns that may interfere with walking, or if you prefer a traditional therapy setting, we also offer in-office sessions for your convenience. Your well-being and comfort are our top priorities.
