Walk and talk therapy is exactly what it sounds like — instead of sitting in an office, we meet outside and walk together while we talk. Many people find that movement helps them open up, feel less guarded, and stay present in the conversation.
San Luis Obispo has no shortage of beautiful spots to walk, and we'll decide together on a location that works for you. Walk and talk isn't the right fit for everyone or every session, but if it appeals to you, bring it up on your consultation call and we can talk through whether it's a good match.

Yes. We offer in-person, telehealth, and phone sessions. For most clients doing deeper trauma work, in-person is our strong preference — there's a quality of presence and connection that's harder to replicate on a screen. That said, if you're traveling, not feeling well, or need a flexible option, telehealth and phone sessions are a good substitute to keep your momentum going.
