Walking-and-talk therapy is an opportunity to do psychotherapy outdoors in nature while engaging the mind and body.
Walking-and-talk therapy offers physical and psychological benefits that can enhance the therapeutic process. Gentle walking can strengthen the mind-body connection and stimulate the release of endorphins, which can naturally improve mood and energy levels. Being outdoors in a natural environment adds an additional layer of therapeutic value by promoting reflection, creativity, and mindfulness.
Walking therapy could be helpful if you:
Prefer in-person sessions and movement outdoors rather than a traditional office setting
Appreciate experiential or body-oriented approaches
Connect with nature as a therapeutic environment for exploring your journey
Yes, most insurances will cover walking therapy similar to an in-office or telehealth session. Before proceeding, I would recommend that you check with your insurance in advance.
We will meet at a park in Cambridge, MA that has a walking trail. The location will be provided upon scheduling a walk-and-talk session. I offer walking therapy rain or shine, provided that conditions are safe, and telehealth would be the alternate plan.
