Step Into a New Way to Heal.

Nature isn’t just a place we go—it’s a reflection of who we are.

The wind moves through us with every breath, the water in our blood mirrors the rivers and tides, the earth is our body, steady and strong, and the fire in our heart fuels our passion, purpose, and transformation. When we step outside, we’re not just walking in nature—we’re remembering that we are nature.

Walk and Talk Therapy invites you to move in rhythm with the world around you, to ground into the earth beneath your feet, to let the fresh air clear your mind, and to feel the elements working with you as you process, heal, and grow.

Walk & Talk Therapy In Los Angeles? … It Just Makes Sense.

Walk and Talk Therapy is just like a traditional therapy session—except we’re outside, moving at a pace that feels good for you. Movement naturally supports clarity, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation, making it easier to release stress and connect with your thoughts. You don’t need to be an athlete—this is about supporting your healing, not getting a workout. Just bring a pair of comfortable shoes, and let’s take therapy outside!

What are the benefits of Walk & Talk therapy?

Mental & Emotional

Walking stimulates brain activity, which can support mental clarity, emotional processing, and those unexpected “aha” moments. It also helps regulate anxiety and stress by lowering cortisol and easing emotional overwhelm. For clients who feel uncomfortable with direct eye contact, walking side-by-side can make conversations feel more approachable and less intense.

Nervous System & Body-Based

Nature acts as a natural regulator for the nervous system, helping clients feel more grounded—especially those managing anxiety, ADHD, or overthinking. The rhythm of walking engages both sides of the brain (a principle used in EMDR), which supports deeper emotional integration. It also encourages a reconnection with the body, making therapy feel more embodied rather than purely cognitive.

Practical & Lifestyle

Walk & Talk Therapy offers a way to support mental and physical well-being at the same time—perfect for busy clients who struggle to make space for both. Being outside can also feel more freeing than a traditional office, with fresh air and natural movement helping therapy feel organic and expansive.
