Walk & Talk Therapy in Honolulu, HI
We believe that therapy in Honolulu, HI doesn’t have to be confined to office space and a couch. Healing can take place anywhere or at any time; that’s why we offer Walk & Talk Therapy! Walk & Talk Therapy is a therapy that takes place in nature and mimics the feeling of walking in the park with a friend or loved one. It provides a relaxed environment for you to experience the beauty of nature, explore your emotions, and find a sense of peace.
Honolulu is an ideal location for Walk & Talk Therapy, with its warm weather and island breeze. We’re happy to provide Walk & Talk Therapy year round - Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall!
Benefits of Walk & Talk Therapy in Honolulu, HI
Walk & Talk Therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that offers a wide variety of benefits. Walking promotes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Nature can create an experience of feeling alive by activating your senses. If you’re an outdoors person like we are, listening to the birds sing while basking in the sunshine and feeling a cool breeze blow across your face can be therapeutic. Below you’ll find a list of benefits of Walk & Talk Therapy and being outdoors:
Releases endorphins (happy hormones!) in the brain and improves mood
Promotes blood circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body
Calms the mind and promotes mindfulness
Helps you get “unstuck” and work through difficult emotions or situations
Reduces symptoms of anxiety and stress
Decreases negative thoughts
Provides essential vitamins such as Vitamin D, which helps to decrease depressive symptoms

What to Expect From Walk & Talk Therapy
We love nature and we’re thrilled to offer Walk & Talk Therapy to Oahu residents! We know you might have questions, so we took the time to answer a few questions for you.
Where do we meet?
Walk & Talk Therapy session location will be discussed between you and your therapist either during your free 15-minute phone consultation or during your intake (first) session. All park locations are located in Honolulu, HI.
What exactly happens during a Walk & Talk Therapy session in Honolulu, HI?
We’ll meet at our agreed-upon park location and your therapist will outline the various trails in the park. Then we’ll choose which trail or pathway sounds good to you. All trails are concrete walkways that are relatively flat and require no prior hiking experience. There may be a couple of small hills, but we’ll let you know ahead of time when the hills are coming up!
Your walk and talk therapy sessions will look very similar to a traditional 50-minute therapy session, except you’ll be outside. Similar to a typical therapy session, your therapist will most likely start the session by asking you how you’re doing and “what would you like to talk about today?” We’ll take your lead and go from there!
If you show up to the session and don’t feel like walking that day or don’t want to walk the entire time, we can plan to find a comfortable park bench to sit on.
What happens if the weather is bad (i.e. rainy or too hot)?
We’ll text you if the weather isn’t great that day and we’ll offer to have your session online or at our Honolulu office space.
