Walk and Talk Therapy

Kind, effective and high quality treatment

walk and talk therapy in northern virginia, maryland, and dc

Walk and Talk Therapy is also known as nature informed therapy. It is inspired by the importance and use of the natural world to foster healing.

Instead of having sessions inside the office, you and your therapist go on a walk together in a quiet neighborhood, public park, or a nearby trail. Through Walk and Talk Therapy, nature is therapeutically incorporated into your sessions to provide you with greater peace, solace, and movement.

Walk and Talk Therapy is always an option for our clients; if you prefer to stay inside for a session, that is fine too and totally up to you!

Sessions are not physically strenuous and involve slow to moderate walking at a pace that is comfortable to you. Clients often feel refreshed and balanced after sessions.

Teens and young adults tend to love walk and talk therapy.

Some clients also find that movement helps to facilitate their ability to think outside of the box, to open up, and to better reflect on life in sessions .

Nature holds intuitive wisdom and clients going through a time of grief and loss also find comfort in spending sessions outside together.

Entrepreneurs or busy professionals also often enjoy Walk and Talk Therapy sessions to help think creatively and to feel inspired.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.
