TrailTalk® opens new location in Aspen

by

We are excited to bring you our newest trailhead™, led by Trailblazer, Kris Ferguson.

Kris is available to provide guided Walk and Talk therapy sessions anywhere from Aspen through Carbondale. She specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, working with Families and Friends of Alcoholics, and loves partnering with motivated clients to move their lives forward.

Kris solidified the foundation to become a catalyst for change when she graduated with her Masters in Social Work from New York University. After completing internships at both Harlem Hospital and Manhattan Mental Health Center, she and her young family moved to the Roaring Fork Valley and never looked back! Kris went on to work in the Aspen Counseling Center’s Intensive Outpatient Program and then with at-risk adolescents in the Diversion Program.

Kris discovered hiking as her own powerful form of therapy and mental health maintenance. Now that her three children have flown the coop, Kris is hitting the trail with great enthusiasm and commitment to help others become the best version of themselves.

Why does walking make us feel good? We all know that a satisfying stroll changes our outlook. Perhaps we realize it all the more today, when so many of us are hunkered down and this simple activity is a challenge. But walking is especially important now, with gyms and team sports shut down.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Join Trailtalk®, the leaders in taking therapy off the couch and onto the trail for the grand opening of its Salt Lake City location.

Come on by and See, Hear, Feel, Smell and Taste the excitement of this novel style of mental health care Trailtalk® is growing across Utah.

In 2010, Trailtalk® opened the doors of the traditional therapy office and shed light on the shame and stigma of mental health care access for active functional folks. We’ve been walking and talking in the great outdoors ever since.

Trailtalk®SLC meets you where you are, on or off the trail. We travel all over the Wasatch Front using nature as our office. Meet us at a park or path near your home, or workplace for what we call signature walk and talks.

Trailtalk® offers active, functional folks Emotional Tune-Ups for those times in life when talking to a friend, or family member isn’t enough. When we get sick, we seek medical attention. It doesn’t mean we are terminally ill; we just need some intervention to get us back to our healthy norm. Same with our emotional selves. Sometimes life hits us hard, and we need support. It doesn’t mean we are mentally ill and nonfunctional. It just means we need to call our closest Trailtalk® trailhead™ (AKA for office) and schedule a walk and talk with a professionally trained therapist.

Move your body, Clear your mind. ®

The Winter inversion extending across the Wasatch Front and Back is a mood killer. Rise above the bad air for your next therapy session.

We have trailheads™ in the Salt Lake, Park City, Heber Valley, and Provo. Call us at 435-513-2715 or go to our website trailtalk.com and request an appointment.

Better Emotional Health Starts with One Step. ®
