Experience the healing power of nature and counselling.
Our Walk and Talk Ecotherapy program takes therapy outdoors and into nature.
Awareness is increasing that our physical environment can aid in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental health issues, and more specifically, exposure to natural environments can have many added benefits.
Green space is linked to lower stress levels, less anxiety and fewer depression symptoms and spending time in nature helps us to relax and think more clearly. When you spend time in a natural environment, you’re more likely to use your senses to experience your surroundings. Calming sounds, like birds chirping or the rustling of leaves, can help you detach from traffic, work conflict, and ordinary stressors of everyday life.
YOUTH WALK AND TALK PROGRAM
Feeling cooped up or restless? Our innovative Walk and Talk Therapy program allows youth to get outside and get active while receiving mental health support. By taking therapy sessions outdoors on a walking path, teens can benefit from the mood-boosting effects of exercise, fresh air, and a change of scenery. Walk and talk therapy can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and provide a comfortable space for opening up. Ask your therapist if this option could be a good fit, or use our online matching tool to get connected with a walk and talk therapist today. Being outdoors has amazing health benefits, let’s take a walk together!
We act as your guide towards healing and growth.
The key difference between ecotherapy and recreation is the presence of a trained practitioner or therapist. As trained Walk and Talk therapists, we know how to facilitate beneficial interactions with the natural environment as we work towards reaching your goals.
Please note: All new clients require an Initial Consultation and Intake Session before booking their first Walk and Talk. Initial Consultations are complimentary. Please refer to our Practice Policies for more information.
