Walk and Talk Virtual Therapy has arrived at Sewell Psychiatry!

Walk & Talk Virtual Therapy offers clients the option to incorporate walking or light movement into a traditional psychotherapy session through secure video telehealth. Clients may choose to walk outdoors, at home, on a walking pad or treadmill, or in another setting that feels comfortable and appropriate for them.

This flexible format may be a good fit for individuals who prefer movement or a less formal environment while talking. Sessions are 30 minutes in length, offering a convenient option for busy schedules.

Walking is completely optional, and clients may slow down, stop, or remain stationary at any time. Insurance coverage is subject to individual plan benefits and eligibility.

TREADMILL

Whether at home or in a gym. A treadmill is a great way to get in a walk in a structured controlled environment. Rain or shine you can still commit to your exercise and therapy time.

WALKING PAD

Ok, here's where I shine! I love a good walking pad. I utilize this in my own practice where sitting at a desk can lead to tight calves, thighs, and back. Having the flexibility to stand and walk even during a break at work is sensational! During our sessions you will often catch me walking right along side of you on my walking pad.

OUTDOORS

One of the best ways to calm the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) is through exposure to nature. From the sounds, smells, and sights, to the feeling of the cool breeze, an outdoor walk is a great way to put life and perspective into focus.

HOME GYM

A home gym allows for maximum privacy, ultimate convenience, and flexibility. Whether you are rolling out of bed with 30 min to spare, or winding down after a long work day and commute. Having the ability to just walk into your own space free from feelings of judgment or the need to dress fancy can be a huge motivator.
