&nbsp;

My name is Julia Slocum and I’m a graduate student in Counseling Psychology at Iowa State University working with Dr. Nathaniel Wade.&nbsp;I want to bring your attention to our research study:&nbsp;A Survey of Licensed Psychotherapists’ Use of and Attitudes Toward Walk and Talk Therapy.&nbsp;The purpose of this study is to explore psychotherapists’ perceptions and experiences of Walk and Talk Therapy (WTT). You do&nbsp;not&nbsp;need to have ever used WTT in your practice to participate, as we aim to collect the perspectives of all psychotherapists - not just those who have used this approach.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

WTT is the integration of movement and talk therapy and has been established as a viable psychotherapy option, but research has not kept pace with its growing popularity. This survey explores respondents’ past use of WTT, how helpful and hindering they perceive or have experienced WTT to be, and whether respondents are considering conducting WTT sessions in the future. The survey also asks about behaviors and attitudes related to therapists’ relationship with exercise and nature, as well as physical access to and sense of safety and belonging in natural outdoor spaces.&nbsp;
