Experience therapy in motion.

Hi there! My name is Emily Pettengill, MA, LCPC — a licensed therapist from Maine who offers Walk & Talk Therapy to the Greater Portland area in Windham, ME.

Walk & Talk Outdoor therapy is a unique psychotherapy that helps clients move physically and emotionally towards their mental health and wellness goals. Walk & Talk Therapy combines the benefits of movement with the power of conversation, creating a therapeutic relationship in an environment built for healing and self-discovery: the great outdoors.

Walking side-by-side in nature can foster a deeper connection within the therapeutic process. Movement combined with traditional talk psychotherapy interventions can encourage deeper reflection and enhance clarity in one’s life and world. This dynamic approach may comfort those who find traditional face-to-face settings overwhelming or who simply feel more comfortable processing their thoughts while in motion.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking personal growth, Walk & Talk therapy offers a refreshing and effective way to find balance and insight — away from screens, notifications, and the confines of a traditional office, allowing you to think, feel, and heal at your own pace.

Fresh air, Maine sky, the crunch of leaves or snow beneath our feet.
I walk with clients through all 4 seasons, as each has something important to offer.
With Mother Nature as our co-therapist, each 50-minute walk offers new perspective.
Each path allows for our inner wisdom to guide us toward deeper understanding and peace
It would be an honor to walk by your side.
It’s lovely to meet you, I’m so glad you’re here.
