Walk and Talk Therapy in Marquette, MI 🌿

Healing happens step by step

Healing doesn’t have to happen sitting still—sometimes the best conversations happen on the move.

What Is Walk and Talk Therapy?

t Caught Dreamin’ Therapy, Walk and Talk Therapy blends traditional talk therapy with the calming, energizing benefits of being outdoors. Instead of sitting in an office or on a screen, you and your therapist walk side by side along Marquette’s Heritage Trail. This gentle movement often makes it easier to open up, release stress, and shift old patterns of thought.
