Today we welcome a new WSB sponsor, Geri Dube, who offers a Walk and Talk counseling practice along Alki. Geri is a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in helping people tackling relationship issues, weight management, depression, and/or general stress. She believes that walking helps people tap into their own creative ways to deal with these matters, while at the same time getting exercise and connecting with nature and community. Geri says many clients have told her they have fond memories of insightful and even life-changing conversations they’ve had while walking with a friend. That’s why she believes that incorporating a walk into a session helps people get unstuck and move toward finding answers to questions and problems. Realizing the difficulties of finding babysitters and the usual need to multi-task, Geri invites new parents to walk with their baby strollers, and encourages pet lovers to bring “Fido” along, for outdoor sessions. She sees clients at her West Seattle home office as well, and would like to assure prospective clients that she is open as to how they would like to meet, whether indoors or out. She is covered by most insurance plans and offers a sliding-fee scale if necessary. Walk and Talk counseling, however, is not covered, so Geri provides 30-minute sessions when requested. Walk and Talk Therapy is an out-of-the-box approach that helps people find their own way through the difficult times, get unstuck and move forward. Geri has been written up in Fitness Magazine, Health Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, amongst other publications. She has been in practice almost 20 years on the Eastside prior to moving to West Seattle. For an appointment, call Geri at 425-358-0083; visit her website at gericounsels.org.
