Walk & Talk Therapy

At Monarchs Therapy, we understand that healing and growth don’t always happen while seated in a traditional therapy setting. For many, being outdoors and moving offers a unique sense of freedom, relaxation, and connection. That’s why we’re proud to offer Walk & Talk Therapy, a holistic approach to mental health that integrates the healing benefits of nature, physical activity, and professional guidance.

What Is Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and Talk Therapy is an alternative to traditional therapy sessions held indoors. Instead of sitting in an office or virtual space, you and your therapist will meet at a designated outdoor location and engage in therapy while walking side by side. This approach allows for:
  • A Calming Environment: Nature has a way of grounding us and promoting mindfulness.
  • Relaxed Conversation: Walking can make difficult discussions feel less intimidating.
  • Physical and Emotional Flow: Movement often helps release tension, reduce stress, and spark fresh insights.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply seeking a new way to connect with your inner self, Walk and Talk Therapy offers a supportive, nurturing space for healing.

What Modalities Are Used?

Walk and Talk Therapy combines evidence-based therapeutic practices with the natural benefits of movement. Depending on your needs and preferences, your therapist may integrate:

Trauma-Informed Care

Ensuring a safe, supportive environment that honors your unique experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Exploring thoughts and patterns while moving toward practical solutions.

Mindfulness Techniques

Using nature’s backdrop to enhance awareness and practice grounding exercises.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Focusing on your strengths to identify actionable steps toward your goals.

Expressive Arts Therapy

This approach is ideal for clients who:

  • Feel more comfortable in less traditional settings.
  • Enjoy being active or find nature soothing.
  • Want to address feelings of being “stuck” emotionally or mentally.
