Walk & Talk Therapy
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.
Walk & Talk Therapy is ideal for anyone looking to add a dynamic and refreshing element to their journey
(Weather permitting, of course)
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.
Walk & Talk Therapy can help you to…
See things from new perspectives
Experience the peacefulness of nature
Improve overall well-being
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.”
