Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy in Houston
A Supportive Alternative to Office-Based Therapy
I offer Walk and Talk therapy in Houston as an alternative to traditional in-office sessions for adults and teens who may benefit from movement and being outdoors. Walk and Talk therapy combines evidence-based talk therapy with gentle walking in calm, outdoor settings to support anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth.
Sessions typically take place in quiet areas around Houston’s Museum District, including tree-lined paths and nearby green spaces.
What Is Walk and Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk therapy is a form of psychotherapy that takes place outdoors while walking side by side rather than sitting in an office. The structure and goals of therapy remain the same, but the setting can feel more relaxed and grounding.
This option is especially helpful for clients who feel more at ease moving, prefer not to sit face to face, or find that nature supports emotional regulation.
Why Choose Walk and Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk therapy may be a good fit if you:
Feel restless or tense during traditional seated sessions
Think more clearly while moving
Feel more comfortable talking side by side
Want to reduce stress and reconnect with your body
Feel calmer in outdoor or natural environments
While not a replacement for office-based therapy, this format can be a helpful alternative for certain clients and goals.
How Walk and Talk Therapy Helps
Walk and Talk therapy can support you in:
Managing anxiety and everyday stress
Navigating life transitions or difficult decisions
Improving emotional awareness and regulation
Processing thoughts and feelings in a grounded way
Gaining perspective and clarity
The combination of movement and conversation can support focus, insight, and emotional processing.
What to Expect in a Session
Walk and Talk sessions follow the same professional and confidentiality standards as office-based therapy, with a few practical differences:
Sessions take place outdoors at a comfortable pace
Routes are chosen with privacy and safety in mind
You are welcome to pause, sit, or slow down as needed
Sessions are weather-dependent and can shift to in-office or virtual sessions when necessary
Your comfort and safety always come first.
