We LOVE working with this age group. If there is one thing we know, it's that teens and young adults THRIVE when they feel connected and respected.
We have experience and passion to help our young people find comfort in who they are and to build confidence in their abilities to navigate the challenges of life.
Our therapists have been working directly with this age demographic. What we see most are symptoms showing up as anxiety, depression, self-injury, substance use, suicidal ideations and more, that are often a result of difficulty in handling emotions - whether it be recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing and/or regulating these biological forces in ones body! This is why emotion education is a core component of our practice.

Walk and Talk Therapy
Why settle to settle in when you can have your therapy session and walk too!
Walk and talk therapy offers a unique alternative to traditional face-to-face or Telehealth therapy methods.
This method of therapy allows clients to experience much needed quick doses of nearby nature, which help to de-stress, find focus and lighten mental fatigue.
Walk-Talk is a mindfulness-based body oriented therapy that can make it easier for clients to relax, stop over-thinking, release physical tension, and breathe deep while processing experiences in a new way. Clients talk with JoAnne while walking outdoors rather than sitting a therapy office or in front of a computer screen. Walking side by side rather than sitting face to face enables some clients to feel more comfortable when sharing in the therapy process.
The research is out there and it is showing wonderful, healing effects when it comes to getting outside, moving and enjoying nature.
What you can expect
After meeting once in the office, to complete all necessary paperwork and information gathering, we will start and finish our walk and talk sessions at the Caught Dreamin’ Therapy office.
The client sets the pace, so there is no need to be concerned about walking to fast or slow. We will walk side by side along the beautiful heritage trail in the direction of your choice. We will discuss what comes to mind for you that day in the context of your overall goals, just like we would while sitting in an office session. There may be moments of standing in silent reflection, deep breathing or sitting in guided visualization. At the end of your session, you will likely experience a sense of greater focus, less stress and anxiety and an overall feeling of being more energized and ready for your day.

At the beginning of treatment, it is recommended that you meet with your therapist weekly. Standard sessions are 53-minutes long.
The first session is an assessment and helps the therapist to better understand your needs. Following your assessment, a treatment plan will be developed based on the following information collected through a fun exploration of what's important to you, your hopes and dreams, identifying what you want to do more of, defining happiness and recognizing areas in your life that need some work.
Before starting here, I didn’t “believe” therapy worked. I and those around me have noticed growth within my session each week. I cannot thank my therapist and all other staff enough for the welcoming environment and the tools given to me to manage and enjoy life! After sharing my experience here with friends and family who are skeptical about therapy - they’ve slowly changed their outlook and look into getting support for themselves. You all are seriously amazing!
