New Path Behavioral Health provides therapy for active, busy adults that are experiencing life changes, events, and transitions causing anxiety, depression, burnout, or stress. Some of these topics may resonate:

Online therapy is delivered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, providing confidential and convenient mental health support from the comfort of your home. We currently partner with Headway for these services where you will be required to create an account to streamline billing, communication, video, and other services at your convenience. If there are technical challenges during sessions, we also use Google Meet as a backup HIPPA-compliant platform.

Hiking or walk-and-talk therapy sessions are offered in natural settings and use structured, evidence-based interventions to support mental health, build resilience, and promote personal growth through reflection. Approaches commonly used are experiential learning, existential therapy, strengths-based, cognitive, and mindfulness.

Walk-and-talk therapy or hiking therapy sessions are tailored to each client’s physical ability, comfort level, and therapeutic goals during the intake process, with ongoing risk assessment and pace adjustments throughout session to ensure safety, accessibility, and support.

Hiking therapy and walk-and-talk therapy take place in Bergen County, NJ and Passaic County, NJ. Our therapists in New Jersey provide services at local parks such as Ramapo Reservation, Wild Duck Pond, Ringwood State Park, or Ramapo Mountain State Forest. Other parks may be available depending. Locations, routes, and session lengths are tailored to your individual needs and goals through collaborative planning. Additional counties available soon.

Confidentiality is maintained with outdoor therapy, though full privacy cannot be guaranteed in natural environments; hikes and walks are adjusted for safety and discretion.

Each walk-and-talk or hiking therapy session has different needs, but bringing water is a must. Your therapist will go over recommended clothing, gear, and other essentials before your session. You will also be sent a checklist. Sessions may be canceled if you’re not adequately prepared for a safe adventure.

Different weather conditions offer a unique therapeutic experience, but your safety is our priority. Your therapist may cancel, reschedule, or adjust sessions accordingly.

Medication services are not provided, but clients can discuss their needs during treatment and will be referred to qualified providers or resources for support.

If your therapist is not the right fit, we openly discuss your concerns, needs, and preferences to determine the next best steps, ensuring you receive the most effective support.
