Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk & Talk
Walk and Talk Therapy offers a unique blend of physical activity and psychological counseling. If sitting in an office is unappealing, you’d enjoy this service.
This service combines the therapeutic benefits of nature with the effectiveness of traditional counseling. As we walk, you’ll experience a sense of freedom and openness, which can help with deeper emotional processing.
Walk & Talk Therapy is ideal for anyone looking to add a dynamic and refreshing element to their therapeutic journey.
(Weather permitting, of course.)
How We’ll Work Together
During a Walk and Talk therapy session at Rose Matrix Counseling, we’ll engage in traditional counseling while walking in a peaceful, natural setting. This method not only aids your physical health but also provides “bilateral stimulation,” which is beneficial for emotional processing and brain health.
The natural surroundings can also help you feel more comfortable with me, allowing for more open and candid conversations. Walk and Talk therapy is particularly effective for those who feel stifled in a traditional office setting, or anyone looking for a more relaxed and informal way to engage in counseling.
Why choose Christina R. Martinez, LCSW?
As an avid hiker, I have a deep appreciation for Mother Nature & have first-hand experience with the transformative effects of time spent outdoors. Merge the benefits of counseling with the healing effects of nature through Walk and Talk Therapy. This approach offers a relaxed and open setting for therapy, enhancing mental clarity and emotional well-being. Walking in nature not only reduces stress but also promotes physical health, making therapy a more holistic experience.
“Walk and Talk is about breaking free from the confines of four walls and embracing the healing power of nature. It’s incredible how a change of scenery can open up new perspectives and pathways in our minds. This approach is not just about physical movement; it’s about moving forward emotionally and mentally, finding new solutions and insights along the way.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during a Walk and Talk therapy session?
Expect a casual yet focused therapeutic conversation while we walk in a natural setting. You set the pace, and the aim is relaxation, not physical exertion. There are plentiful benches available along the way if you wish to take breaks, as well.
How do I know if Walk and Talk is right for me?
If you enjoy being outdoors and are looking for a more dynamic form of therapy, this could be a great choice.
I'm in Chandler, Arizona—can we do Walk and Talk there?
Certainly! I operate primarily out of Chandler, AZ, for Walk and Talk, but we can also get together in Flagstaff when the weather cooperates. Unfortunately, because we need to be walking, I can’t offer this kind of counseling virtually.
