Walk & Talk Therapy —
therapy that literally

meets you where you are.

Sometimes the most healing conversations happen when you’re moving. Walk & Talk therapy takes your session out of the office and into the natural world — combining the power of evidence-based therapy with the grounding, calming effects of nature and gentle movement.

Research shows that walking side by side creates a different kind of openness than sitting face to face. Movement regulates the nervous system. Nature reduces stress hormones. Together, they can make the therapeutic process feel more natural, accessible, and effective.

Movement supports the mind

Walking activates the brain in ways that can help process difficult emotions and experiences.

Nature as co-therapist

Time in green spaces reduces cortisol, lowers anxiety, and helps regulate mood naturally.

Side-by-side opens doors

Walking together — rather than sitting across from each other — can ease vulnerability and deepen connection.

Your pace, your place

Sessions happen at parks, trails, walking paths, and green spaces across the Tri-Cities, chosen together to suit your comfort and needs.

– WHY CHOOSE US –

Why Forest Path Therapy Group?

Life doesn’t always move in a straight line. Sometimes the path feels steep, unclear, or overwhelming. At Forest Path Therapy Group, we walk with you — at your pace — toward steadier ground.

Trauma Informed Care

Every session is rooted in an understanding of how trauma shapes the mind, body, and nervous system — and what genuine healing actually requires.

Adapted to You

No one-size-fits-all approaches here. Your therapy is shaped around your needs, pace, preferences, and goals — including where and how you’d like to meet.

Real Life Experience

Our therapist brings not just clinical training, but genuine human experience — showing up with compassion that goes beyond credentials.
