Let’s walk about it

Does This Sound Like You?

You might be here because:

  • Traditional talk therapy has run its course

  • You are sober or sober curious

  • You are involved in twelve step and feel supported, yet still struggle with anxiety, depression, or old patterns

  • You have insight into your history but still feel stuck or overwhelmed

  • You notice your body holds tension, fear, or stress that talking alone does not seem to shift

  • You experience stress, fear, or numbness in your body even when you understand things intellectually

MIND IN MOTION PSYCHOTHERAPY

A Different Approach to Recovery and Healing

Mind in Motion Psychotherapy is an integrative, somatically informed approach that recognizes healing does not happen through talking alone.

It happens through presence, movement, and felt experience.

By gently engaging the body alongside thoughtful conversation, therapy can become more regulating, accessible, and alive.

This work may include walking therapy, body-based awareness, and nervous system-informed interventions, always grounded in established clinical practice. Sessions are paced intentionally, allowing insight, emotion, and physical experience to inform one another in real time.

Mind in Motion Psychotherapy is especially supportive for people who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy, experience anxiety & stress in their bodies, or benefit from movement and nature as part of their regulation process.

Therapy is collaborative, attuned, and responsive, meeting each person where they are.

Therapy That Goes Beyond Insight Alone

Many people come to therapy with a strong understanding of their patterns and family of origin. They know the story. They have insight.

Yet their body still feels on edge, shut down, or overwhelmed.

My work integrates traditional talk therapy with a somatic approach. We explore thoughts, emotions, and history while also paying close attention to what is happening in your body in real time. Sensations often hold important information about safety, stress, and protection that words alone cannot always reach.

Together, we slow down, notice sensations, and support your nervous system in experiencing safety.

Working with thoughts alone can leave many people feeling stuck without relief. When awareness includes the body, the nervous system has a chance to slow down, reorganize, and experience change from the inside out.

This work is not about rejecting what has helped before.
It is about twelve step and beyond.

Walking therapy can:

◇ Support nervous system regulation
◇ Reduce intensity and self-consciousness
◇ Help access emotions held in the body
◇ Support clients who feel stuck or shut down
◇ Encourage present-moment awareness
◇ Integrate mind and body in real time
◇ Feel more natural and human

How Walking Therapy Can Help

Walking therapy integrates gentle movement with psychotherapy. For some clients, moving the body while talking supports emotional regulation, insight, and engagement in ways that seated, indoor therapy may not.

Walking therapy is always optional and not appropriate for everyone.

Sessions are adapted based on safety, clinical appropriateness, physical ability, client preference, and weather. Online sessions are always available, and walking is introduced collaboratively, never as a requirement.

ABOUT ELISABETH T. WHITE, LMFT

A woman with long dark hair and tattoos, wearing a light blazer, sitting outdoors with greenery in the background, smiling at the camera.

I am Elisabeth T. White, a licensed therapist offering walking therapy in Los Angeles and virtual therapy to adults across California.

My approach is grounded, collaborative, and informed by somatic and polyvagal training that supports nervous system awareness and regulation. I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with lived, embodied experience.

I work with clients to connect thought patterns with body sensations, helping the nervous system slow down and find safety in the present moment. This creates space for healing that feels fuller, deeper, and more integrated.

Therapy with me is not rushed.

It is a space to slow down, listen inwardly, and collaborate in becoming more fully yourself.

SOMATIC THERAPY

Somatic therapy can be very effective online because the work is rooted in internal awareness rather than physical techniques.

We work with what is present in your body wherever you are, allowing therapy to remain flexible, private, and consistent.

Somatic therapy recognizes that experiences live not only in our thoughts, but also in our bodies.

Many people understand their patterns intellectually yet still feel anxious, tense, or overwhelmed. This often happens because the nervous system has not fully experienced safety, even when insight is present.

In our work together, we slow down and gently notice what is happening in your body as experiences arise. By paying attention to sensations in real time, the nervous system can begin to settle rather than remain in survival mode.

Somatic therapy is not about pushing through discomfort. It is about creating safety, awareness, and choice at a pace that feels supportive.
