Walk & Talk Therapy in Hermosa Beach, CA

Our therapists offer Walk and Talk Therapy on the strand by the ocean in Hermosa Beach across the street from our offices. Our location offers us a unique opportunity to bring clients to the beach in Hermosa for sessions by the ocean when clients request it.

There’s a lot of discussion around the benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy and how it helps clients.

There are a lot of reasons why Walk and Talk sessions facilitate processing including the integration of bilateral stimulation which is the core of therapies including EMDR. Walking during therapy creates an alternating rhythm of our steps on the pavement and stimulates alternating sides of our brain which facilitates processing. Fresh air and nature are also helpful to healing. Moving when we feel stuck can also help us to move through life’s obstacles and create a tangible, very real momentum that is both literal and metaphorical.

While our therapists also work with clients in the office, Walk & Talk sessions are beneficial for clients who don’t want to sit on a sofa for an hour. It’s okay to alternate between Walk and Talk sessions and in-office sessions. Our therapists understand that not every day feels like a good day for a walk.

All Walk and Talk sessions begin and end at our offices in Hermosa so if the weather isn’t comfortable or you don’t feel up to a walk at the time of your session, sessions can always be moved to the office instead.

We are fortunate to have offices directly across the street from the beach in Hermosa. There are healing benefits of being near the ocean.

We serve the South Bay Communities of Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and Surrounding Beach Cities.and
