Telehealth Therapy in Minnesota & Wisconsin
Therapy does not have to happen while sitting across from someone in an office. Walk & Talk Therapy gives you the opportunity to meet with a therapist outdoors, walk side by side, and talk at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Therapy From a Place That Feels Comfortable
Sometimes getting to therapy is one more thing to manage.
You may be balancing work, family, medical appointments, fatigue, caregiving, or a body that does not always cooperate with your schedule. You may live outside the Twin Cities or simply feel more comfortable talking from your own space.
Telehealth gives you another way to receive support.
Instead of driving to an appointment, you connect with me through a secure video session. You can settle into a comfortable chair, grab a cup of coffee, wrap up in a blanket, have tissues nearby, or surround yourself with things that help you feel grounded.
For some people, being in their own environment makes it easier to talk openly and settle into therapy. For others, telehealth simply removes barriers and makes getting consistent support more realistic.

Telehealth therapy may be a good fit if you want the convenience of meeting from home, live outside the Twin Cities, have health or mobility concerns, travel frequently within Minnesota or Wisconsin, or simply prefer online therapy.
At WanderWell Therapy, I work with adults navigating medical trauma, cancer, chronic illness, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, and major changes in identity.

Telehealth sessions take place through a secure video platform and are generally 50 minutes long.
You and I meet face-to-face on screen just as we would during another therapy session. We might talk about what has happened since we last met, work through something difficult, explore patterns you are noticing, practice ways to respond to anxiety or overwhelm, or simply make space for something you have been carrying.
You do not need a perfect home office. You only need a private place where you feel comfortable talking and a reliable internet connection.

WanderWell Therapy provides telehealth therapy throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
You do not need to live in Maple Grove, Plymouth, or the Twin Cities to work with WanderWell Therapy through telehealth. You can join your appointment from anywhere in Minnesota or Wisconsin as long as you are physically located in one of those states during the session.
Telehealth can be especially helpful if you live farther from the Twin Cities and want a therapist with experience in medical trauma, cancer, chronic illness, grief, trauma, and major life changes.
-
Individual telehealth therapy sessions are $155 for 50 minutes.
WanderWell Therapy does not bill insurance directly. You may use an HSA or FSA card, and I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Coverage varies by insurance plan, so it is helpful to contact your insurance provider directly and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
A limited number of sliding-scale appointments may be available.

Is Walk & Talk Therapy Right for You?
Medical Trauma, Cancer & Chronic Illness
A serious diagnosis, painful procedure, hospitalization, or ongoing health condition can change how safe you feel in your body. You may feel anxious before appointments, watch every physical sensation, fear receiving bad news, or struggle to trust your body after treatment.
Walk & Talk Therapy offers space to process these experiences without feeling trapped in a clinical setting. Gentle movement can help release some of the tension that builds around medical fears, while being outdoors may help you feel more grounded as we work through grief, uncertainty, and the emotional impact of illness.
Anxiety & Feeling Constantly on Guard
Anxiety can leave you restless, tense, distracted, irritable, or caught in repetitive thoughts about what might go wrong. You may overprepare, avoid uncertain situations, seek reassurance, or feel unable to relax even when there is no immediate danger.
Walk & Talk Therapy gives that restless energy somewhere to go. Moving while we talk can make it easier to organize your thoughts, notice what is happening in your body, and explore what your anxiety is trying to protect you from. The outdoor setting may also help you slow down and reconnect with the present moment.
Grief, Loss & Identity Changes
Grief can follow the death of someone you love, but it can also come from losing your health, independence, relationship, career, future plans, or the person you were before a life-changing experience. You may feel disconnected from others or unsure of who you are now.
Walk & Talk Therapy creates room for grief without asking you to rush through it. Walking side by side can make difficult conversations feel less intense, while changes in the natural environment can offer gentle reminders that grief, growth, and change can exist together. Therapy can help you carry what was lost while rebuilding a meaningful life.
Trauma & Difficult Life Experiences
Trauma can leave your body responding as though danger is still present, even after the experience has ended. You may feel constantly alert, emotionally numb, easily overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or afraid of reminders connected to what happened.
Walk & Talk Therapy can provide a more open and less confined setting for approaching trauma at a manageable pace. Gentle movement may help your body release some of its protective energy, while nature can offer a steady point of focus when emotions become intense. We will work carefully, helping you understand your reactions and rebuild a greater sense of safety and control.
Relationship Stress & Life Transitions
Changes in relationships, parenting, caregiving, work, health, or family roles can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. You may notice recurring conflict, difficulty communicating, resentment, loneliness, or pressure to make decisions before you feel ready.
Walk & Talk Therapy gives you space to step away from daily distractions and look at the situation from a different perspective. Moving side by side can make it easier to talk honestly about relationship patterns, personal needs, and difficult choices. Therapy can help you communicate more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and move forward in a way that reflects your values.
