Trailtalk Approach

What type of therapy do you offer?

Trailtalk specializes in walk-and-talk therapy, combining the healing power of nature with evidence-informed mental health care. Depending on your preferences and abilities, sessions can take place on well-traveled walking paths, park benches, or seated near a stream. We’ll choose whatever feels most supportive in the moment.

How much does Trailtalk cost?

Trailtalk’s 2025 Services and Fees: - Walk-and-Talk Therapy Sessions: $227 per session - Medication Evaluations: $435 for a 90-minute session - Combined Therapy and Medication Management: $227 per session - Medication Management Only: $170 for a 30-minute telehealth visit (for clients who are working with an external therapist and only require medication support) Superbills are available for clients who wish to submit for potential reimbursement through their insurance provider.

How do I request an appointment?

To request an appointment for any of our trailheads, please click the button in the top right corner that says "Book Appointment." Once you request an appointment, we will reach out via email to confirm your appointment and determine the meeting location for walk and talks or virtual sessions.

Do you accept insurance or how do I get reimbursed?

Trailtalk is an out-of-network provider, but clients can submit superbills to their insurance carriers for potential reimbursement. If you’re seeking reimbursement, we’re happy to provide detailed superbills to support your claim.

Do you prescribe medication too?

For continuity of care, I often provide both therapy and medication management. Please note that prescriptions are limited to medications related to mental health needs.

What client challenges do you commonly address?

At Trailtalk, we support clients with a wide range of needs, including: - Trauma and PTSD - Anxiety and Depression - Life transitions, such as divorce, school changes, becoming an empty nester, or retirement - Grief and loss - Stress management - Relationship challenges We offer individual, couples, and family therapy to meet you where you are and support your growth.

Do you offer telehealth sessions?

Yes, telehealth sessions are available for clients who prefer to meet virtually, providing flexibility and convenience. Unless specified, all Idaho appointments are virtual. Additionally, when the weather is too cold (yes, we walk all winter!) or rainy, we can adjust our sessions to accommodate these conditions.

What if I don't want to walk and talk?

Walking and talking is one therapy approach Trailtalk employs. It’s not suited for everyone, and is not appropriate for every type of therapy issue. Trailtalk therapists will discuss taking therapy off the couch with each client at the initial visit to determine if it is a treatment approach that works for them.
