I think most people on the planet need some sort of help with their mental health, whether it's just a peer group, or whether it's being vulnerable, or whether it's therapy or whatever.
Imagine combining your therapy session with a refreshing walk in the park. That's exactly what Clay Cockrell, a therapist based in New York City, is doing with his innovative Walk and Talk Therapy. In this episode of the Stigma Podcast, host Stephen Hays sits down with Clay to discuss how he's breaking the mold of traditional therapy by meeting clients outside the office and into nature's embrace.
This unique approach was born from a simple observation: many busy professionals struggle to find time for mental health appointments. By walking and talking, Clay not only helps his clients manage their schedules better but also taps into the therapeutic benefits of physical activity and being outdoors. But Clay's contributions to mental health don't stop there.
He founded The Online Counseling Directory, a platform that connects people with qualified therapists and life coaches worldwide, making it easier for anyone to find the right help they need. During their chat, Stephen and Clay dive into the importance of peer support groups and the role of technology in making mental health care more accessible.
They also touch on the legal hurdles of online counseling and Clay's efforts to change licensing rules to allow therapists to practice across state lines. If you're curious about new ways to prioritize your mental health or want to understand how therapy can fit into a busy lifestyle, this episode is a must-listen. Clay's passion for making mental health care convenient and accessible shines through, offering hope and practical solutions for those seeking help.
