Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk & Talk is a beautiful way to experience psychotherapy while simultaneously connecting more deeply to your body, to nature and your surroundings.
This approach helps to alleviate stress, eliminate distractions and get energy moving so that you may share openly and move emotions freely.
Walking side-by-side also can create a more organic and comfortable space for conversation in contrast to sitting in an office face-to-face.
As a bonus, you will naturally experience deeper breathing and endorphin release from the gentle movement.
“Amy genuinely cares about me as someone who she wants to see succeed in life…Recently, we transitioned to walk and talk therapy…and it really works for me. I enjoy being out in nature and breathing fresh air instead of being in her office. However, it is still an option if you enjoy therapy in an office setting.”
— Michael B.
How will I know where to meet you?
You will receive a pin the day of our session directing you to exactly where we will meet.
I will determine an ideal location for the day depending on weather and other factors.
Will there be bathrooms?
We will start and end our walk near bathrooms.
Please use the bathroom ahead of time to ensure comfort.
Will people be able to hear our conversation?
Discretion is important. We will do our best to route sessions in low/non-populated areas and keep voices low.
What do I bring? What do I wear?
Some suggestions:
• A hat
• Sunblock
• Wear comfy shoes
• You are welcome to walk barefoot on the beach
• Bring water if you don’t mind carrying it
• A journal/notebook
If you bring a journal or homework, feel free to bring a backpack to carry your things.
We can sit down and strategize at any point.
What if I don’t like to hike? Are there any physical requirements or limitations?
These walks are not strenuous and we encourage resting/sitting during the sessions.
You are always welcome to schedule your session as a walk & talk and change the location to office/video at any time, including the day of. There is never an obligation to do physical activity if you don’t feel well enough to.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! As long as your dog is not a distraction or source of anxiety for you.
Can I do both online/in-person and walk & talk sessions?
Yes! You can alternate and mix it up, depending on your needs on any given day.
