Walk & Talk Therapy
What is Walk & Talk Therapy?
Walk & Talk Therapy is when the client and counselor meet at a pre-determined location to walk and talk about issues, rather than sit in an office and talk. Some people feel more relaxed, and open up more freely while walking and moving, as opposed to sitting across from one another making direct eye contact.
Walk & Talk Therapy encourages people to be physically active and lends itself to creative, deeper ways of thinking while confronting difficult issues. It also allows people to feel like they are moving forward and ahead of their issues, and encourages them to tackle their challenges with more power and efficiency.
Benefits
Research has consistently shown that exercise can significantly decrease depression and anxiety while improving overall mood. Another added benefit to walk and talk therapy is that "creativity, self-awareness, emotional awareness and other positive therapy outcomes can heighten during movement." ― Jennifer Lager, PsyD

I will meet clients at several discrete locations throughout Ocean & Monmouth County for those who wish to walk and talk, or sit in nature and talk.
*You must meet in the office for the first session before utilizing this service.
