Walking therapy is a mindfulness-based body oriented therapy that can make it easier for clients to relax, stop ruminating, release physical tension, breathe deep and receive mind-body insight while processing experiences in a different way.
As the name describes, clients will have sessions while walking outdoors rather than sitting or lying down in a therapy office. Walking side by side rather than sitting face to face enables some clients to feel more comfortable when sharing in the therapy process. Walking sessions requires an initial intake counseling session conducted in office or via online therapy. These sessions are not covered by insurance. Sessions are $200 out of pocket and a bill can be provided for reimbursement to submit to your insurance provider.
