My practice offers both outdoor therapy in Pomona, Chino Hills, Chino, Diamond Bar, and Eastvale as well as online therapy in California, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your lifestyle and comfort.

2. What is outdoor therapy?

Outdoor therapy (also known as walk-and-talk therapy) is a form of counseling that takes place in natural settings such as parks and walking trails. I offer outdoor therapy in Pomona, Chino Hills, Chino, Diamond Bar, and Eastvale, helping clients experience the mental health benefits of nature while engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.

This approach to outdoor therapy for anxiety and depression can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and make it easier to open up during sessions.

Clients seeking outdoor therapy often report:

Outdoor therapy sessions can be especially beneficial for individuals managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

4. Do you offer online therapy in California?
