Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk-and-talk therapy is a type of counseling where you have your therapy session while walking outdoors instead of sitting in an office. It combines physical activity with mental health support, making talking about problems feel more relaxed and natural. The movement can help reduce stress and stimulate creativity, making it easier for some people to open up and work through their issues in a more informal setting.
Group Sessions
The Center for Behavioral Health and Accessibility offers group sessions to assist with stress, anxiety, addiction, and more.
