Who Does Well with Walk and Talk Therapy?

Almost anyone! All clients for whom it is medically safe to walk at any pace, established by you.
Walk and talk therapy can be particularly helpful for clients who are facing life transition, anxiety, and/or a loss of any kind.
You need not be concerned with your level of physical fitness or weight. If you can walk, we can do it. Our sessions are a judgment-free zone that are focused solely on your body moving forward while your therapy progress moves forward at the same time.

How Does It Work?

All sessions are 50 minutes. We depart on foot from my office and walk along the nearby waterfront.
You need only comfortable and appropriate walking shoes and socks. Layers can be helpful to account for variable temperatures near the water.
If weather is bad, or you are not feeling up to the activity that day, we can simply stay in my office for our session.
