MOVE TALK ZEN

Therapy That Move Beyond The Couch

Somatic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Counseling & Integrative Wellness in Charlotte, NC

Not Just the Couch. Not Just Talk Therapy.

Because healing isn't one-size-fits-all.

Some days, healing looks like sitting across from your therapist and having a conversation you've been holding onto for years. Other days, it looks like moving your body, noticing your breath, reconnecting with your senses, or taking the first steps toward feeling safe within yourself.

At Move Talk Zen, we offer traditional psychotherapy alongside integrative, movement-based approaches, including somatic therapy, running therapy, walk-and-talk therapy, and creative expression.

Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, curiosity, and the understanding that the mind and body are deeply connected.

Your healing. Your pace. Your path.

 

In-person and remote options

A Different Approach to Mental Health & Wellness

At Move Talk Zen, we recognize that emotional well-being and physical experiences are interconnected. Our integrative approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy with somatic practices, mindful movement, and creative expression to support meaningful, sustainable change.

Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, or life transitions, our team offers individualized care that honors your experiences, needs, and goals.

We believe healing can happen through conversation, movement, stillness, creativity, and connection. Together, we'll explore what feels most supportive for you.
