What are areas of growth in your own life? Everything in nature is either growing or decaying. Without growth, things languish and return to the soil. Growth is synonymous with any healthy living thing; therefore, in order for a person to stay alive and vital, there must be growth.
Move in the direction of growth in your own life with Walk and Talk Therapy.
About Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy combines psychotherapy with movement and the inspiration of a natural environment. Research has shown that walking not only increases our overall health and wellness, it also encourages healthy lifestyle habits.
Walk and Talk Therapy has all of the advantages of traditional counseling with many more positive, life-affirming elements just waiting to be discovered.
Processing of life’s challenges, worries, grief, pain, relationship issues, addictions, or illnesses, can all be done while walking and connecting with the elements of sun, fresh air, and maybe even some rain. As long as we are prepared, we can take the next step toward health and enrichment in our lives.
What to Expect from Walk and Talk Therapy
Just as it sounds, we are outdoors, walking side-by-side for your therapy session, instead of sitting inside an office. We will meet at a designated location that is easy to find and then caravan to a park or trailhead nearby.
Accommodations will be made for your level of ability and access to ideal walking/hiking locations. Sessions are conducted “rain or shine.” We will simply reschedule if the weather is extreme.

The Theory Behind Walk and Talk Therapy
Daniel Gregory Amen is an American psychiatrist, a brain disorder specialist, director of the Amen Clinics, and a ten-times New York Times bestselling author. He is revolutionizing diagnosis and treatment using both innovative technology and holistic interventions. I was able to talk to him about Walk and Talk Therapy. He gave me permission to quote him saying, “Getting outside, absorbing vitamin D from the sun and incorporating exercise into the treatment can be much more effective than just sitting in an office for talk therapy.”
Jeff Adorador began his career working in mental health by serving teenagers with behavior problem (“Youth at risk”) in wilderness therapy programs across the nation. The consequences of being rebellious or irresponsible to the natural laws of nature provided powerful opportunities for growth, healing and maturation for teens. As Jeff progressed in his career serving broader populations of people, Jeff wanted to continue leveraging the therapeutic aspects of nature in his private practice. Walk and Talk Therapy was the perfect model to incorporate counseling with the benefits of nature in a practical manner.
