we help you talk it out, outdoors, so life feels solid again.

Our Clinical Team

Welcome to the Outdoor Talk clinical team—a group of bold, curious, and committed therapists redefining what therapy can look like. We believe healing doesn’t have to happen in an office; it can unfold on a trail, beside a lake, or under a pine tree.

Our team is united by a shared mission: to provide expert, movement-integrated mental health care that meets clients where they are—literally and emotionally. As clinicians, we lead with clarity, integrity, and a spirit of adventure, always grounded in evidence-based care and the belief that we talk better outdoors.

  • Darin offers sessions on-trail, at the driving range, or by the lake. He listens like a pro, challenges when needed, and keeps things real—focusing on what’s actually helpful, not labeling every struggle as a mental health problem. Clients leave sessions with tools, direction, and a feeling that something actually shifted.

Professional listener.
Professional advice-giver.
Professional bullshit-caller-outer.
Professional wise person.
Professional teacher.

  • Shawn offers walk-and-talk sessions on gentle terrain, calm lakeside check-ins, and movement-based trauma support tailored to each person’s pace. He’s steady without being passive, reflective without being clinical—and deeply invested in helping people reconnect with clarity, confidence, and control.

We know ‘overwhelmed.’

There’s no way you can do everything in front of you, but you don’t see any reasonable way out, right? The outdoors help you cope, but you’re afraid of what you’ll lose when that stops being enough.

Talk it out, outside.

Outdoor Talk is not how you imagine therapy. We have no office walls to speak of. We do our work on the mountain trail, by the lake, and in the forest. Our licensed psychologists are adventurers, taking evidence-based practices to the great outdoors because we know that the best conversations happen outside.

Feel solid again.

You have what it takes, and we’ll meet you there on the trail. We promise that with the support of Outdoor Talk, you can create a life where you feel solid, clear, and capable.
