Walk and talk therapy offers the opportunity to experience counseling outside the therapy office! We meet at a designated outdoor location in the Sugarland/Richmond /Memorial area of Houston (either Memorial Park or Sugarland) if the weather is acceptable. In case of rain or extreme heat, we will meet discuss alternative plans. We walk for the full session ( 60 minutes). You can also choose to have an in-office session.

If you want to work smart, not hard, walk & talk is two birds- one stone.

We get that it’s hard to find time to take care of your mental health. And we get that it’s hard to find time to take get out and moving. We love walk & talk because it offers the best of both.
