The Santa Fe Center for Mindfulness
Mindfulness-based walking, teaching and counseling.
Walking
Walk-and-talk therapy is a form of outdoor therapy in the field of eco-psychology. Sometimes viewed as a mindfulness technique this method has a variety of benefits, including positive impacts on anxiety, depression, and stress.
Oftentimes, individuals who seek walk-and-talk therapy have a love for and enjoy being in nature. For others, it may be difficult to sit still while trying to process emotions in a traditional therapy session. Another reason someone may seek walk-and-talk therapy is that they do not like the sometimes awkward format of being directly observed by a therapist sitting across from them. Similarly, they may come from a job in which they sit at a desk all day.
Teaching
Everything we experience comes and goes from our mind. People can improve the quality of their lives by learning how the mind works, and by training it to do more of what we want. Don't worry, you don't have to clear your mind of thoughts! Explore the benefits of this mental skills practice for yourself. Get down-to-earth support in the form of monthly talks, proven courses, and seasonal retreats. No fluff, no mumbo-jumbo...just evidenced-based trainings from a teacher who is dedicated to her craft.
Counseling
Because you cannot have a positive life with a negative mind, mindfulness-based psychotherapy might be the key to unlocking beneficial insights. Sit with a seasoned therapist who is still curious about communication styles, problem-solving skills, emotions, relationship patterns, and shifting habits. Serving adolescents and adults, individuals, couples, and families.
