2026The session takes place outside, on a walk with your therapist, instead of in the office. Prologue offers walk and talk sessions as a form of individual therapy, with mindfulness and light exercise inside the usual therapeutic work.
Many people say it's easier to talk to someone about difficult things when they're walking side-by-side rather than sitting face-to-face.
This service is currently only available for individual clients. Before your first session, you and your therapist will talk about whether walk and talk is a good fit for you, based on your current health status and what you need from therapy.
Every clinician who sees clients in person at our Flemington office offers walk and talk sessions. Our two virtual-only clinicians, Gabriella Cabrera, LMFT, and Pilar Ho, LAMFT, do not offer walk and talk sessions.
Our walks will be at a leisurely pace; not enough to get sweaty or elevate your heart rate. This is not a workout. We recommend comfortable walking shoes because the terrain can be uneven and the grass can be wet.
Rain, freezing temperatures, or an otherwise unpleasant day: the session moves to the office or online. Virtual sessions are available across New Jersey.
Comfort with this varies from person to person. Before you start walking, you and your therapist will settle how to handle running into someone you know. Sessions themselves stay confidential between you and your therapist, with mandated-reporter exceptions.
Sessions start from the office at 4 Main Street in Flemington and typically stay within walking distance: Main Street, the side streets around it, and, when arranged ahead of time, a nearby park. Parking is in the rear of the building.
Prologue is a self-pay practice. We don't accept insurance and aren't on any insurance panels. That said, Prologue works with your insurance as an out-of-network provider: if you have out-of-network benefits, you may be reimbursed a portion after your deductible. Our biller, April at Advanced Billing Services, can check your benefits before treatment and files claims on your behalf; you keep a card on file and receive the reimbursement checks.
