Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy, also known as outdoor therapy or walk-and-talk counseling, is a form of therapy where sessions take place outdoors while walking. Instead of sitting in an office, the therapist and client walk together in a natural setting, such as a park or along a trail.

Walk and talk therapy provides a unique therapeutic experience where you get your steps in, some fresh air and a renewed mindset. As we walk side-by-side there is no awkward eye contact to worry about. As you take each step, you will likely be able to begin to process your thoughts with more ease.
​
Nature is also a great setting to practice mindfulness techniques that will be applicable both during and outside of the sessions. Exercise and nature both have their unique benefits to mental health. Combined they are that much more powerful to improve mental well-being. This combination is often referred to in research as Green Exercise.
