FAQs

FAQs

1. WHAT KIND OF THERAPY DO YOU DO?

Our signature walk and talks are experiential in nature. Literally. Nature is our setting and most important therapy tool. Trailtalk therapists choose interventions based on the unique needs of each client. We do mindfulness work, coping strategy skill building (CBT based), use solution focused techniques, and EMDR.

2. WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO WALK AND TALK?

Walking and talking is one therapy approach Trailtalk employs. It’s not suited for everyone, and is not appropriate for every type of therapy issue. Trailtalk therapists will discuss taking therapy off the couch with each client at the initial visit to determine if it is a treatment approach that works for them.

3. CAN I SUBMIT YOUR STATEMENT TO MY INSURANCE?

Many health insurance carriers accept Trailtalk therapists as out-of-network providers. It is up to each client to contact their insurance carrier regarding coverage. At the end of each month, Trailtalk provides its clients with a superbill or statement, which they can then submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement if they choose.

4. HOW DO I ACCESS MY OUT OF NETWORK BENEFIT?

On the back of your insurance card, there should be a toll free number for questions related to your mental health benefit. When calling, be sure to check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

  • What are my mental health benefits?
  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
  • How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
  • How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
  • What is the usual and customary amount for a therapist in SLC/Park City, Utah?
  • Is approval required from my primary care physician?

5. DO YOU DO THERAPY IN YOUR VANS ?

Yes, we sometimes do therapy in the van. We might choose to meet at a park, or on a path, and sit in the van with the door open to a beautiful backdrop. Sometime we will meet at the park, or on a path, and walk and talk. The van is there to access supplies or watch something on the TV related to the therapy we are doing that day. The van brings therapy to you. Trailtalk is accessible, approachable, and affordable.

6. WHAT IS A NURSE PRACTITIONER?

A Nurse Practitioner is a Master’s prepared nurse who has special training in a particular area of health care. Nurse Practitioners provide direct patient care with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention. A midwife is a type of Nurse Practitioner who specializes in obstetrics. A Family Nurse Practitioner specializes in the general medical care of adults and children. A Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner provides psychotherapy services and in most States can prescribe medication to their clients. Click here to learn more about the role of the Nurse Practitioner.

Do you need sound or silence? Some things to think about:

1. How do you react to organized sound? (i.e. music, singing, etc.)

2. How do you react to unorganized sound? (i.e. clanking, loud crowds, off-tune music) 

3. How do you react to silence?

4. Can you change your mood by changing your "sound setting"?

Do you ever feel like a thousand different things are happening at once?  Like your five senses are constantly being triggered? A shift to a minimalist lifestyle (or at least a minimalist headspace) can help with sensory overload. 

Sensory integration issues can also be improved with noise-canceling headphones. Physically tuning out sound can help your cognition and improve focus.

Let's talk about minimalism. A minimalist lifestyle is focused on consuming less and living with more specific, meaningful items in your life.

While you might see some immediate benefits on your bank statement, your mental health will also thank you! The decluttering of our homes and living spaces will also declutter our minds. Improve your headspace with fewer decisions and fewer distractions. 

Happy Trails!

Boundaries make the best neighbors. Here are some Tips from the Trail if you need some fence-mending:

1. Consider how you do boundaries. Is your fence line too flexible? Is it too rigid?

2. Notice how you interact with your loved ones and colleagues. Are you the easy-going guy? Or are you known as the “my way or the highway” person? I’m not saying one is better than the other, I’m just suggesting the flexion and tension ratio in our fences significantly impact our relationships. We have to come to awareness before we can make a change.

3. Talk to a friend or family member about what boundaries mean to them.  You might be surprised what you can learn from others when we broach these types of topics.

It's important to build and maintain your boundaries. Check in on your "fences" from time to time. How is the tension? How is the flexion? 

Read up on our newest blog (🔗 in bio) for more on building better boundaries.

Happy Trails!

Ending relationships can be a tough road to navigate. We found a great article by Joshua Becker on Becomingminimalist.com where Josh discusses "never having to cross the street."

In brief, are you conducting yourself in a way where you won't have to cross the street if you see the other person? (See our last post!)

Happy Trails and Happy Friday!

We all witnessed the saga of Mikaela Shiffrin unfold over the past week. Mikaela was considered a frontrunner in her Olympic skiing event and faced intense scrutiny when she error'd on her run. Simone Biles, who also faced similar scrutiny during the Summer Games, supported Mikaela.

It's important for us to celebrate others’ successes rather than reveling in their demise or defeat. Extend kindness!

Happy Trails :)
